We have issues as HVAC is above us! Sometimes at the switch over from heat to air and vice versa the facilities personnel don't check the drains and we get a flood. Came in one morning to hear dripping and we were going to a self -eval that day.! Most of the water was in my garbage can (Thankfully) Just missed my PC and the TMA arrayer. Got part of the embedding unit (it was a big leak). Facilities had the wet/dry vac up in the ceiling to get rid of the water. Had to have a good chunk of ceiling replaced and repaired after that one. There was even water in the light fixtures! Bernice

Tim Morken and I can attest to that! They installed a new CT scanner in Radiology directly above the EM Lab. They broke some sort of water pipe during the installation and it leaked so much that part of the ceiling collapsed onto the scope! They didn't bother checking to see if there was any damage on the next floor down- they just left. Tim had a huge surprise waiting for him the next morning. We always had to cover the scope with a sheet of plastic at night after that in case they installed something else.

First, relentlessly make fun of your building planner for putting a histology lab underneath a laundry. This is a mistake worthy of pointing and laughing. Second, there are isolation tables and platforms. That's probably the first thing I would try. http://www.taab.co.uk/pdf-details/305_taab_products_1402580607.pdf Gerry -----Original Message----- From: Nancy Schmitt via Histonet [mailto:histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu] Sent: Monday, May 16, 2016 10:03 AM To: 'histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu' Subject: [Histonet] floor vibration Happy Monday! We are moving to a new space and part of our area is above the laundry - there is some vibration from there. Does anyone have any experience with this and could you please share how you accommodated this? Special flooring, pads, etc. Thank you much!
