Quiet the rooftop — before the residents hear it.

Urban vertiports operate on the rooftops of buildings whose tenants did not opt in to the eVTOL acoustic envelope. The vibration mat absorbs 90% of structurally-coupled energy at source, certified compatible with KAS Part 25.

Problem

Vertical lift transfers to the building.

An eVTOL hover transient creates a 0.3-second vibration impulse coupled directly into the rooftop structure. Without isolation, that impulse propagates through the building envelope and reaches occupied floors as a 32–45 dBA low-frequency rumble — well above the tenant-complaint threshold codified in Korean municipal noise ordinances.

Solution

Low-frequency absorbed; high-frequency reflected.

The vibration mat is a layered composite — viscoelastic damping core, constrained-layer reflector, KAS Part 25-rated surface. Low-frequency energy is absorbed before structural coupling; mid- and high-frequency energy reflects away from the building envelope.

  1. 01

    Decouple

    Viscoelastic core converts strain energy to heat at the source — the impulse never reaches the slab.

  2. 02

    Reflect

    Constrained-layer reflector returns mid-frequency energy upward, away from occupied floors.

  3. 03

    Certify

    Surface certified compatible with KAS Part 25 vertiport operating envelope — accelerometer audit at install.

  4. 04

    Document

    Each installation ships with a provenance package — accelerometer baseline, install photos, doctrine references for the operator audit.

Where it lands.

  1. Inquiries open

    Gangnam rooftop — Strategic partner pilot

    A 12-storey commercial tower with mixed retail and office tenants — the dispute envelope that is hardest to wrap into permit terms.

  2. Scoping · 2026-Q4

    Yeouido rooftop — Mixed-use planning

    A flagship K-UAM corridor target — operator early-engagement scoping the install timeline against the building HVAC retrofit window.

  3. Available

    For operators planning 2027 commencement, we offer a framework agreement that locks unit pricing across the first ten installations.

Pricing

Unit pricing — m² basis.

The mat is priced per square metre of landing pad surface. Installation, accelerometer audit, and the provenance package are bundled. Structural retrofits (if the rooftop needs reinforcement before the mat installs) are scoped separately with the building engineer of record.

  1. Per m² · Mat + Install
    KRW 1.8M / m²

    Mat material · two-technician install · accelerometer baseline audit

  2. Per pad · Provenance bundle
    KRW 12M / pad

    Doctrine reference set · install photo log · 12-month accelerometer recheck

  3. Framework · 10-pad rollout
    Negotiated

    Unit-price lock · priority install scheduling · operator audit support

Listed pricing is indicative for a Korean urban vertiport in CY2026. Structural reinforcement scope is excluded and quoted by the building engineer of record.
