    High performance goals of several facilities at BNL (NSLS-II, RHIC, CFN and future eRHIC) require high mechanical stability of their equipment such as magnets, BPMs, mirrors, monochromators, detectors, and microscopes. The mechanical stability of these components can be compromised by site-wide ground vibrations, local vibration sources (pumps, motors, etc.), and fluctuations in air and water temperatures. This presentation highlights the results of several studies that have been conducted at several BNL sites and facilities over the past five years to characterize the mechanical stability issues and to develop mitigation schemes.
