Jack Up Floating Floor – Gymnasiums
Mason Industries are the global leaders in providing engineered solutions for the isolation of pipe and ductwork.
We can provide take off services for identifying location and quantity of vibration isolation hangers for plant room and risers.
Our engineers can advise on thermal expansion, riser design and vibration isolation support systems for pipe and ductwork.
For more complicated rise designs we will issue an engineered layout noting sizing and location of isolation mounts within the riser.
Mason Mercer does not charge for this service and is offered on any project where we provide an isolation hanger for.
Please see our full catalogue of isolation hangers below
FSN Jack Up Floating Floor – Gymnasiums
It has been proven that the most fool-proof and safest way to establish the air gap is the jack-up or lift-slab method. The FSN system ensures there is no bridging of the two elements due to slurry ingress.
Where the gym is located adjacent to a critical area, light-weight options simply won’t do. We have developed and tested our jack up floating floor systems to be used in gymnasiums. The Mason Jack up gymnasium floor is a no compromise solution for footfall, shock and vibration isolation. This type of floor system has been installed well into the thousands all over the world with proven performance.

FS Spring Jack Up Floating Floor – Gymnasiums
Situations arise where there is a requirement for a lower natural frequency in the floating floor elements that what can be achieved by a rubber isolator.
We have engineered purpose build jack up isolators which house springs. The springs are installed once the concrete is poured. The slab is jacked into position in the same manner our our FSN type jack up isolators.
Plastic sheeting is placed on the sub-floor as a breaker layer, isolators are placed on the plastic sheeting, reinforcing steel or mesh rests on the isolator housings and the concrete floor is poured. After the concrete has cured, the slab is lifted to elevation by turning adjustment bolts above each isolator to any specified air gap between 25mm -100mm
