CALMFLOOR is pleased to announce a new agent agreement with PowerCept, marking a significant expansion of our Global Strategic Network into the Middle East.
This high-profile appointment partners CALMFLOOR’s world-leading active mass damping (AMD) technology with the Dubai-headquartered organisation’s extensive regional expertise. It creates a direct route to high-performance, low-carbon floor vibration control solutions across one of the world’s fastest-growing construction markets.
PowerCept to introduce next-generation floor vibration control across the Middle East
With more than 35 years in the industry, PowerCept joins CALMFLOOR as an official Agent Partner, bringing deep technical knowledge and a strong track record in testing and measurement across complex engineering environments.
PowerCept provides surveying, engineering and environmental testing solutions backed by first-in-class service. Combining over 50 years of regional management experience across the Middle East, Europe, India, SAARC and Asia Pacific, the company supports clients across civil engineering, materials testing, manufacturing, environmental engineering, defence, research and education sectors.
As part of the CALMFLOOR Global Strategic Network, PowerCept will lead regional engagement, supporting project teams with specification guidance, performance validation and implementation strategy for active floor vibration control technology.
A smarter approach to structural performance
Floor vibration challenges can compromise occupier comfort, disrupt sensitive operations and lead to costly structural redesigns or carbon-intensive retrofits. Traditional mitigation methods often rely on adding excess steel or concrete – increasing embodied carbon, cost and programme risk.
CALMFLOOR AMD technology provides an immediate, zero-disruption alternative. Delivering up to 90% vibration reduction, each 67kg (148lbs) unit can be installed in a matter of hours without structural intervention. The result is measurable performance improvement without compromising programme, sustainability targets or architectural intent.
By combining PowerCept’s expertise in testing, measurement and regional regulatory frameworks with CALMFLOOR’s specialist vibration control technology, this collaboration sets a new measurement-led performance standard for buildings across the Middle East.
Strengthening global reach through technical excellence
PowerCept’s track record includes over 1,000 completed installations in GCC-wide customer base covering government, manufacturing, education, defence and aviation. They provide comprehensive 360-degree support services from procurement and laboratory project management to installation, calibration, training and long-term after-sales care. Its close working relationships with regulatory bodies, technology partners and end users ensure clients receive solutions aligned with international standards including ISO, ASTM and EN.
This depth of experience makes PowerCept ideally positioned to support the specification and adoption of advanced floor vibration control solutions across commercial, research, defence and technical demanding environments in the region.
Colin Davidson, Co-Founder/Director of PowerCept, said of the new partnership:
“Our vision has always been to create a smarter, quicker and better measurement landscape across the regions we serve. Partnering with CALMFLOOR allows us to introduce a truly innovative solution to the Middle East – one that aligns perfectly with our commitment to performance, precision and long-term value for our clients. We’re excited to bring this pioneering floor vibration technology to a market that is constantly pushing the boundaries of engineering and construction.”
Chris Kirk, Global Business Development and Commercial Manager at CALMFLOOR, was quick to agree:
“PowerCept brings an exceptional level of regional expertise, technical credibility and client support to our Global Strategic Network. Their deep understanding of testing, measurement and regulatory environments across the Middle East makes them a natural partner as we expand into this dynamic market. Together, we’re enabling project teams to address floor vibration challenges in a smarter, lower-carbon and commercially efficient way.”
Supporting the next generation of high-performance buildings
As construction across the Middle East continues to accelerate – with increasing emphasis on sustainability, innovation and world-class infrastructure – access to proven, install-ready floor vibration control solutions has never been more important.
Through this partnership, CALMFLOOR and PowerCept are empowering developers, structural engineers and performance consultants with the tools to deliver ambitious architectural design without compromise.
The future of smarter structural performance in the Middle East starts here.
