You don't isolate the pier from the pad. That would defeat the whole purpose and leave the pier inadequately supporded/rigid.
You isolate the pier/pad as a whole from whatever other floor you decide to put in your obs - so when you're bumping around in the middle of the night, your movements are not translated from the floor to the pad/pier/scope etc.
