University of Minnesota–Duluth Heikkila Chemistry and Advanced Materials Science BuildingVibration Control
ESI Engineering served as the vibration consultant to the design team for the new Heikkila Chemistry and Advanced Materials Science Building at the University of Minnesota–Duluth.
This cross-disciplinary project shows how ESI can be critical part of developing your new manufacturing line. Our analysis experts worked with our measurement technicians and structural engineers to examine resonance on a critical piece of manufacturing equipment.
We have completed dozens of rail car coupling and over the road stress analysis projects for steel frames to support critical refrigeration equipment. Increased economy and reliability is our focus.
Waste treatment and storm water equipment is expected to perform reliably even when it is subjected to freeze-thaw, corrosion, high water pressure, buoyancy forces, snow, and sometimes even earthquakes.
Bridgewater Condominium Chiller NoiseNoise Control
Noise complaints from rooftop mechanical equipment are common especially in residential buildings where occupants require silence during the nighttime hours.
This noise monitoring project for an energy generation facility in rural Illinois established the project site’s current noise environment prior to startup of a new power generation facility.
ESI provided detailed seismic and stress analysis services for the High Integrity Crane with Manipulator System, designed and fabricated by PaR Systems (Shoreview, MN) and used to transport nuclear waste at the Hanford site.
Over an 8-month period, ESI provided vibration monitoring due to construction activities, which included earthwork, heavy truck and crane traffic, rock removal, and soil compaction.
ESI provided vibration monitoring inside the Tandem Linear Accelerator building to guard against nearby drilling, pile driving, excavation, and the movement of heavy equipment.
ESI supported the selection of a suitable new space for a sensitive laser laboratory near an LRT construction site using comparative vibration measurements, experience, and judgment.
This high profile mixed-use development is located near the new Minnesota Vikings stadium and downtown park. The project houses 1.2 Million SF of office space in two identical 17-story towers for 5,000-6,000 employees.
ESI’s noise consultants offer outdoor measurements and monitoring, propagation calculations, contour plots, and documentation to provide the best possible solution that owners can implement.
ESI Engineering's noise control consultants were a part of the design team for this high-profile luxury apartment high-rise constructed next to an existing LRT station.
ESI provided vibration and noise control services, and worked with the structural engineer to optimize the composite floor framing being designed for very low footfall vibration.
Children's National Medical CenterVibration Control
A state-of-the-art imaging core was installed at an existing hospital that required detailed measurements, design, and recommendations for optimal performance.
University of Minnesota Rec CenterVibration Control
ESI supported this multi-purpose $60M collegiate recreation facility with vibration and noise control for weight rooms, running track, gymnasium, and aerobics.
ESI provided both vibration and noise control engineering services for the new 550,000 square foot hospital and clinic providing state-of-the-art healthcare for the army base at Fort Riley.
ESI provided finite element analysis and structural design services for this crucial component in irrigation and municipal water systems that must perform reliably under severe operating conditions.
The staff at ESI are experts in the design of high force structures. For over 40 years we have been a part of exciting projects that place extraordinary demand on foundations, supporting frames, and connections.
ESI, under MTS Systems as the prime contractor, completed the analysis and design of the Static Structure for the Vehicle Motion Simulator (VMS) at NASA's Kennedy Space Center.
ESI provided engineering services for The Toro Company for a 225 ton reinforced concrete reaction mass structure to react the force of the production press.
O'Neill Engineered Systems teamed with ESI to design and install the rooftop barrier wall at a challenging site. ESI carried out the structural design and drawings for the 20-foot high wall.
ESI provided FEA analysis services for the Multi-Axial Subassembly Testing (MAST) Laboratory, a state-of-the-art facility for testing full-scale building structures under the extreme loads caused by earthquakes.
