When is Vibration Monitoring Required

Vibration Monitoring is increasingly required for many types of construction activities including bedrock blasting, structural demolition, pile driving, equipment operation during site preparation, and support of excavation.  The requirements for vibration monitoring are detailed in TPPN 10/88 for landmark buildings, and section 1814.3 of the NYC building code.  Our devices can continuously record the measured peak particle velocity (PPV) to prevent the construction activity does not reach a level to damage the surrounding buildings.  We can help provide vibration monitoring for your construction activities.

We have the capabilities to provide the following services:
• Monitor your construction activities with our highly accurate monitoring systems.
• Remote alerts of readings exceeding predetermined limits.
• Highly skilled on-site technicians.
• Thorough and timely summary report.

We start each vibration monitoring job by reviewing the proposed construction work and selecting the number of monitors and locations to measure vibrations.  We can prepare a vibration monitoring control plan, which will set the required threshold and action plan if a reading above the thresholds is recorded.  Our inspectors install the units with remote connectivity providing daily readings, as well as warning notifications if a high reading is recorded.  We provide weekly summary reports of the recordings from each vibration monitor.
