Quietly Improving Your EnvironmentAVMs 37 years in offshore – now under condition survey
In 1989, Vibratec delivered three sets of AVM to the offshore platform Snorre A. Each set consisted of three AVMs supporting a gas turbine with total weight 119 tonnes.
Offshore Anti-Vibration Mounts Under Condition Survey
Now it’s time for an overhaul and updating of the turbines. This week the AVMs are undergoing a condition survey to verify their current status and determine whether replacement is required.
On site, Kjetil Vedholm from Vibratec is carrying out the survey together with Panu Lehto from Brekke & Strand, focusing on:
- Vibration measurements
- Height verification of the isolators to detect settlement or creep
- Technical assessment of structural integrity and remaining service life, including potential replacement
Long-Term Offshore Performance
After nearly four decades in harsh offshore conditions, documentation and verification remain essential.
We’re proud to see solutions delivered in 1989 still performing, and equally proud to support the next operational phase with solid engineering follow-up.

Exhaust Pipe Suspension for Marine and Offshore Applications
Engines are vital for generating power in marine and offshore environments, but they also produce significant vibrations and noise, which can lead to long-term structural damage and negatively impact onboard safety and comfort. One important aspect to consider is the suspension of the exhaust pipe to prevent such issues. Vibration isolation is essential to mitigate…
