DEMOLITION VIBRATION MONITORING
Requirements for vibration monitoring during demolition works are becoming increasingly common to protect surrounding buildings or sensitive structures from the potential excessive vibration levels during the demolition of large structures and heavy vehicle movement on site.
To effectively monitor vibration during demolition works it is crucial to carry out a pre-demolition site assessment to identify potential risks, catalogue the condition of nearby structures and determine monitoring locations.
Local Authorities often require vibration monitoring to be undertaken before work starts on-site to establish baseline levels. Continuous vibration monitoring can then be required for the duration of the work.
Our Vibration Monitoring Services
We offer a cost-effective & convenient service throughout the monitoring period including:
- Baseline Monitoring
- Beacons available if visible alarm alerts are needed
- Continuous Long-Term Environmental Monitoring
- Dedicated Officer Monitoring the levels on your site
- Liaison with Site Manager via Phone Call/Text Messages/Emails
- Real-time data available via an online portal
- Text & Email alert alarms will be provided
- Flexible site visits, to suit the Contractor
- Detailed reporting is provided every week of monitoring
- Working within the Local Authorities specification (BS7385, BS5228 and DIN4150-2)
- Convenient, Secure Positions, Agreed with Contractor
- Monitors come with battery packs that have 3 months of battery life
Vibration Monitoring Services use the latest equipment to monitor vibration on demolition sites remotely, with pre-set trigger levels programmed into the units so our friendly staff can keep your Site Manager informed by phone, text message, or emails with the vibration levels their works are generating on-site.
With years of experience working closely with demolition contractors across the country, we can offer the full vibration monitoring package to help you meet your client's brief, if you would like to know more about the services we offer please call us on 0208 108 0440.
Vibration Monitoring during Demolition - Mitigation measures to be considered:
- Utilise low-impact demolition methods such as non-percussive plant wherever practicable.
- Avoid the transfer of noise and vibration from demolition activities to adjoining occupied buildings through cutting and vibration transmission path or by structural separation of buildings.
- Rather than breaking in situ, consider the removal of larger sections by lifting them out and breaking them down either in an area away from sensitive receptors or off-site.
- Vibratory compaction equipment to be used in a mode that minimises the incident vibration at nearby residential and other sensitive properties. Consideration should be given to engaging concentric weights only when running at speed to avoid run up, run down resonances, the use of smaller equipment, or turning off the mechanical vibration on vibratory rollers and undertaking more passes for areas where there is a particular risk that disruption may occur at neighbouring properties.
- Use rotary drills and “bursters” activated by hydraulic or electrical power, or chemically based expansion compounds, to facilitate fragmentation and excavation of hard material.
