STRUCTURAL ISOLATION Isolation Solutions for a Quieter World.

WHY CHOOSE TICO TICO have been involved in the design, development, and production of elastomeric components for structural applications for over 75 years. We are a proud British manufacturer that uses raw materials from around the world to create engineered, high performance, elastomer solutions for vibration and movement control in buildings and other structures. Over recent years there has been a large increase in the creation of multiuse structures combining offices, retail and leisure facilities, and residential units. Additionally, development trends have also shown a growth in the repurposing,...

These structures are varied and can range from fairly simple buildings to complex ones with unique architectural features combined with innovative construction methods and materials. Consideration of ground-borne and structure-borne vibration in the building design is important to ensure a quiet environment for the occupants. With vast experience and an extensive range of elastomers at our disposal, TICO are able to design and manufacture solutions to suit all your project requirements.

TICO BEARINGS FOR ALL SITUATIONS Whilst TICO Bearings can be used to attenuate ground-borne vibration through base isolation of a building, other vibration mitigation methods are available where this is not feasible or where it is desirable to isolate only parts of a structure. Noise and vibration can take many forms - including airborne, impact and flanking, and the transmission routes these disturbances can take are many and varied. TICO has a number of solutions to prevent transmission of noise and vibration from one room or floor to another through the flooring, ceiling and wall construction....

View Interactive 3D model STAIRCASES TICO Resilient Seatings can be used to create a resilient barrier to mitigate vibration arising from impact and footfall travelling from the stairs into the surrounding structure. WALL BASES Load bearing walls are a common source of flanking transmission within a structure. TICO Resilient Seatings are used to create a resilient separating layer beneath partition, stud or block walls. SLIDE BEARING ASSEMBLIES TICO Sliding Bearings are designed to accommodate small to large movements within a wide range of applications, e.g. movement joints. FLOATING FLOORS...

SPECIALISTS IN BUILDING ISOLATION TICO Bearing Pads can be installed directly between mating surfaces, in concrete, laminated timber and steel structures. If the application has specialist performance requirements, such as fail safes or shear restraints, then the bearings can be supplied within an assembly for ease of installation. TICO Bearing Assembly. Natural Frequency down to 6Hz Load range from 0.1 to 15.5 MN/m2 Design life of 50+ years Pg 6 - Structural Isolation | Building Isolation Low long term creep Bespoke design to project specifications

PERFORMANCE RANGES Load (MPa) Other TICO Bearings are available on request To achieve a major reduction in structural vibration transmission it is necessary to separate one part of a structure from another, or to isolate the structure completely from its foundations. Different grades of TICO Bearing are available to accommodate a wide range of load conditions. Pg 7 - Structural Isolation | Performance Ranges

View Online Content BEARING PADS TICO Bearing Pads are primarily used for vibration isolation of buildings and structures. They are designed to protect a building from ground-borne noise such as metro, underground systems and road networks. They are also commonly used to isolate sensitive areas of a structure from their surroundings (e.g. in box in box constructions) as well as many other applications. Key Features: Natural Frequency down to 6Hz Used between concrete, steel or CLT connections Pg 8 - Structural Isolation | Bearing Pads Wide range of capabilities TICO Bolting isolation

View 3D component video BEARING ASSEMBLIES TICO Bearings Pads can be incorporated into a steel housing to create a TICO Bearing Assembly, providing enhanced safety and performance features. These assemblies are manufactured in our UK facility and provided as a complete unit ready to be installed on-site. Connectivity of TICO Bearing Assemblies can be tailored for use in concrete and steel structures.
