At Inventure, we offer high-quality Inertia Bases, heavy-duty support structures designed to minimise vibration transmission from rotating mechanical equipment—such as chillers, pumps, fans, and compressors—to the building structure. Named “inertia” bases because they add mass and rigidity, these bases use the principle of inertia to resist motion and dampen vibrations effectively.

Design and Construction

1. Typically constructed from a steel frame filled with concrete or other heavy material, forming a rigid and stable platform
2. Mounted on vibration isolators, such as spring mounts or neoprene pads, to absorb residual dynamic forces
3. The added mass significantly reduces vibration amplitude, while isolators prevent transmission of movement to the building structure
