Building code

This paper examines the feasibility of co‑locating an air compressor room with a high‑ and low‑voltage switchgear room. Although codes do not explicitly prohibit such adjacent placement, the vibration and noise generated by the compressor, along with the…

It is generally neither recommended nor permitted to locate an air compressor room directly above a substation. Substations have extremely stringent requirements for waterproofing, vibration isolation, and operating conditions, whereas air compressors generate significant vibrations during operation and…
