KÖTTER Consulting Engineers provides specialized assessments and analyses to optimize machinery and construction projects.
KÖTTER CONSULTING ENGINEERS
Technology in its application, must be simple and easy to understand. In order to achieve that, the physical and technical relationships involved are usually far more complex. Nonetheless, the desire to solve any problems with an uncomplicated approach is sometimes great. However, it cannot often be fulfilled.
Highest technical understanding and experience are needed instead. KÖTTER Consulting Engineers can offer both. We are a specialized and independent engineering company. Since 1978 we have been finding solutions for particularly difficult problems across the entire spectrum of sound and vibration engineering.

Unusual Shaft Vibrations in Refinery Turbo Compressor Successfully Diagnosed and Fixed
Diagnosing shaft vibration signals has been a proven method for assessing sleeve bearings in rotating machinery for decades. A refinery operates a turbo compressor within the speed range of 7,000–8,700 rpm, exhibiting unusual vibration behavior. In the HD stage bearing, there were sudden changes in the peak-to-peak value between 8,130–8,185 rpm. KÖTTER Consulting Engineers conducted measurements and identified a vibration component at half the rotational frequency, indicating incorrect bearing clearance. After correction, the compressor operated flawlessly.
Office and Commercial Building in Hannover Vahrenwald Nearing Completion
The office and commercial building in Hannover Vahrenwald, developed by LIST Develop Commercial, is nearing completion. Spanning 25,000 square meters of gross floor area, the new office and commercial spaces have been constructed in the Vahrenwald-List district of Hannover, adjacent to the Continental AG buildings. On the ground floor, dm and REWE will open their stores, while Design Offices will offer 6,700 square meters of coworking space on the first two floors. The upper floors have been leased to B&B Hotels. With two levels of underground parking and direct access to the Werder Straße subway station, the location is ideal. The architectural firm léonwohlhage designed the building complex, which, despite its eye-catching features, blends harmoniously into the urban landscape. KÖTTER Consulting Engineers was responsible for all building acoustics and noise control planning to address the high noise levels from Vahrenwalder Straße.
