Hi gang,
In a month or so they have to bring down a cinder block wall in a
room adjacent to the NMR lab, so there will be some light demolition
work. This wall is 20 feet away from the center of the magnet, and
there is a wall (drywall) between the wall to be demolished and the
magnet (i.e., magnet - 10 feet - drywall - 10 feet - cinder block
wall to be demolished). There will be little dust from that getting
into the NMR lab, but I'm a bit concerned about vibrations. The
magnet sits on TMC legs, but I wonder if there is anything extra I
can do to ensure that nothing bad happens. I know that I will get
vibration artifacts if I'm taking spectra while the demolition crew
is hammering away next door, but I am concerned about things that
could actually break due to heavy vibration.
Any suggestions? Should I even be that concerned?
Thanks!
Guillermo
