    Toranomon Hills Mori Tower, Tokyo

    Vibration suppression for once-ina-century construction project in


    Japan

    Decoupling at the source of the


    interference: Providing bedding
    for a four-lane underground urban
    motorway

    Vibration-related internal construction


    measures for a 247-m high-rise
    complex with tunnelling below

    Decoupling of a Four-Lane Urban


    Motorway and a 247-m Tall Tower
    Standing above it

    Project description

    The Getzner solution

    In the centre of Tokyo, on a site


    covering a total area of about 6,000
    m2, a prestigious multi-function area
    was built; the centrepiece of this
    development is the Toranomon Hills
    Mori Tower, a high-rise around 247
    m in height with 52 loors, which is
    set to become the tallest building in
    Tokyo.

    Full-surface bedding of a four-lane


    urban motorway

    irectly beneath this structure


    the planners designed a fourlane underground urban motorway
    a new main trafic artery for getting
    across Tokyo. To enable this impressive skyscraper to be built to the
    required usage standards, a solution
    had to be found for the vibration
    produced by the urban motorway,
    which runs through a tunnel for some
    200 m. The Tokyo Metropolitan
    Government selected the Japanese
    property company Mori Building as
    its partner for this major publicprivate sector project. Mori in turn
    engaged Getzner as its specialist
    partner for vibration isolation.

    Getzner has developed vibration


    protection for two signiicant
    subprojects: an elastic solution for
    the hotel on the uppermost loors
    of the high-rise complex and a
    solution for the urban motorway
    running directly underneath the
    building.

    he irst implementation phase


    of the project involved applying
    a resilient bedding to the 200 m
    underground length of motorway.
    The full width of this section was
    bedded on the high-tech Sylomer.
    This has the effect of providing the
    structure erected above the road
    with effective and long-term
    protection against vibration. The
    solution directly addresses the
    cause of the vibration, as the fourlane urban motorway, which is the
    source of the disturbing structureborne noise, has now been isolated.
    The elastic bedding decouples the
    source of disturbance from its
    surroundings, and thus also from
    the structure erected over it.

    borne noise from spreading through


    the building. The building is thus
    effectively protected against
    unwanted vibrations.

    Protecting outstanding
    architecture
    In the second implementation phase
    of the project, a variety of internal
    vibration-damping construction
    measures for decoupling the hotel
    that occupies the upper loors of the
    tower are being carried out. In order
    to protect this sensitive area in the
    best possible way against vibrations,
    Getzner is bedding the hotel loors,
    the pool areas and the itness and
    machinery rooms of the hotel on
    Sylomer. This prevents structure-

    The project goal, which was to


    provide the maximum quality
    of life and work by reducing
    vibration and noise, has been
    achieved.

    Feedback
    Vibration experts on site
    Getzner also assumed responsibility
    for overseeing the installation process. On a project of this magnitude
    it is not only very important to work
    closely with our Japanese partners,
    one really needs to be on site oneself,
    as only then can we constantly
    monitor the quality of the work and
    ensure that our materials protect this
    superb architecture in the long term.
    For Getzner, this order is a valuable
    reference for future projects all over
    the world, is how Werner Ebster,
    project manager at Getzner,
    underlines the importance of this
    major project.

    The advantages of the


    Getzner solution

    What do our clients have to say


    about the project?

    Sylomer performs extremely well


    in the long term
    Expert, well-informed contacts
    on site
    Material is easy to handle and
    to install
    Getzners experience spans
    decades and has been gained
    across all sectors
    Overseeing construction
    Comprehensive documentation
    Excellent price/performance ratio

    nstalling Sylomer mats has the


    effect of reducing noise and
    vibration. The material has been
    employed successfully for decades
    Getzner has demonstrated this on
    numerous occasions in the rail
    sector. Another important criterion
    for future-oriented urban planning
    is that the material should be easy
    and quick to install.
