Vibration Monitoring

British Standard Guidelines


BS 7385 -2:1993 - Evaluation and measurement for vibration in buildings.

Guidance on assessing the risk of vibration-induced damage to buildings from various sources. It also identifies factors that influence a building's vibration response and is used in conjunction with BS 4866. BS 7385-2 provides guide values for vibration levels that could cause cosmetic damage, such as surface cracks, to buildings. These values are specified in terms of Peak Particle Velocity (PPV) in the frequency range of 4–250 Hz. 


BS 5228 -2:2009 - Code of Practice for Noise & Vibration on Construction and Open Sites.

This part of BS 5228 gives recommendations for basic methods of noise control relating to construction sites, including sites where demolition, remediation, ground treatment or related civil engineering works are being carried out, and open sites, where work activities/operations generate significant noise levels, including industry-specific guidance.  

The legislative background to noise control is described and recommendations are given regarding procedures for the establishment of effective liaison between developers, site operators, and local authorities.


This part of BS 5228 provides guidance concerning methods of predicting and measuring noise and assessing its impact on those exposed to it.


BS 5228 -4: Part 4 - Code of Practice Relating to Vibration Control for Piling Operations.


BS 6472 -1:2008 - Guide to Evaluation of Human Exposure to Vibration in Buildings
