WHIS®damper in Groningen, the Netherlands

In the city of Groningen, The Netherlands, 4Silence has successfully implemented 850 m of WHIS®damper, an innovative solution designed to reduce structural vibrations and associated noise on bridge structures. This project showcases how modern infrastructure can benefit from targeted vibration control technology, improving both comfort and environmental performance.

About the Project

The WHIS®damper was installed on a bridge in Groningen to address issues of low-frequency vibration and structure-borne noise caused by passing traffic. This solution ensures a quieter experience for nearby residents and protects the structural integrity of the bridge over time.
