Acoustic Testing & Consultancy Services Vibration Ground-borne vibration can be generated by
a number of sources, including road and rail transportation systems,
construction activities, blasting, tunnelling
and the operation of various types of machinery. Its effect on buildings may be to cause varying
degrees of damage, or to affect machinery or equipment that may be vibration-sensitive. Its effect on people may be to cause disturbance
or annoyance or, at higher levels, to affect a person’s ability to work.
Vibration may also to lead to re-radiation as noise. |
Our measurement capabilities allow us to monitor
and assess vibration and ground-borne noise from numerous sources and
to advise on potential methods of mitigation. Certain construction activities (in particular
some piling techniques) can generated very high levels of vibration.
Anticipated vibration levels can be predicted and mitigation methods
can be recommended. We can also provide tailored monitoring solutions,
including long-term unattended systems linked to visual, aural and SMS
alarms for ensuring compliance against vibration limits. Acoustic Testing
