Professional Dust, Noise & Vibration Monitoring
VIBRATION MONITORING SERVICES
At Vibration Monitoring Services we offer a wide range of monitoring services to suit your requirements from Noise, Dust and Vibration Monitoring during Demolition, Construction and Piling works.
We are independent consultants with over 30 years experience in vibration monitoring in the construction industry, using an extensive range of vibration monitoring equipment to suit your project and can tailor the services to meet your requirements.
Vibration Monitoring Services are accredited through the SafeContractor and ConstructionLine schemes which recognise very high standards of Health and Safety practice amongst UK contractors. Alongside our Gold membership with ConstructionLine we are also verified on Builder's Profile.
What is Vibration Monitoring
Vibration monitoring has become an essential aspect of the construction industry, as heavy machinery and equipment operate on construction sites, they generate substantial vibration amplitude that can propagate through the ground and potentially compromise surrounding buildings and infrastructures'.
To mitigate these risks, vibration monitoring devices are strategically installed at intervals that correspond to defined vibration alert levels. These devices continuously track ground vibration, allowing Project Managers and Engineers to identify any anomalies on the vibration monitor in real time. By doing so, they can take proactive measures such as adjusting construction methods, scheduling, or even halting operations before vibration levels reach a threshold that may cause structural damage or disturbances.
Our Key Services:
vibration monitoring is measuring Peak Particle Velocity (PPV) during heavy works which have the potential to cause the most disruption to neighbouring receptors for example properties or sensitive structures such as Listed Buildings, we work alongside the contractor to prevent vibration levels reaching critical levels using vibration monitoring sensors.
Percussive piling methods can create both intrusive noise and vibration at local receptors and can continue for a long period of time, depending on the size of the new development. Ground vibration monitoring is critical in preventing vibration affecting sensitive structures or underground gas mains, water and sewer pipes. Helping contractors to be fully compliant to BS7385, BS5228 & DIN4150-2.
Buildings surrounding or adjacent to construction and demolition sites can often suffer from vibration and upset the occupants, if you are receiving complaints we can assist you with vibration monitoring to keep you informed of the levels being transmitted.
Following the requirements in Section 61 of the Control of Pollution Act 1974 our Class 1 Noise Monitors can measure the noise levels (e.g Laeq, LA90, LA10, LAmax) on your construction project and keep your Site Manager informed when the noise generated reaches critical levels.
Dust Monitoring using MCerts Certified monitors to follow the 'IAQM Guidance on Monitoring in the Vicinity of Demolition and Construction Sites (Oct 2018)' and our DM30 Dustsens can monitor the PM1, PM2.5 & PM10 levels simultaneously on your construction site and notify Site Mangers immediately when present limits are breached.
Hand Arm & Whole Body Vibration Surveys
If you need to determine whether your staff are at risk of vibration related injuries and need to comply with Control of Vibration at Work Regulations 2005, we can monitor their daily use of hand tools and machinery by carrying out out a HAV survey and issuing a report, this gives recommendations on the use of the equipment to minimize injuries.
Implementing monitoring will enable you to minimise maintenance costs and maximise your plant availability, detecting faults within rotating machinery such as motors, gearboxes, chiller units and generators using vibration analysis. Vibration surveys offer a huge money saving method of reducing downtime, meeting Health & Safety Legislation and carrying out repairs within your planned shutdowns.
Using Fluke Cameras such as the Ti25 provides you with good quality imaging which can be used in a wide variety of applications. Our surveys of distribution boards, control panels, motors and gearboxes determine faults and potential repairs in detailed reports.
