What is Vibration Monitoring at a Construction Site?

This week, we're shining a light on our Vibration Monitoring Service!


WHEN DO YOU NEED IT?

As per the New York City Building Code (§ 3306.12), if your project involves full demolition, work exceeding 50% of gross floor area removal, or the removal of one or more floors, your building's bearing masonry or wood-framed structures must undergo monitoring. Our Vibration Monitoring Service ensures compliance with a meticulously prepared monitoring plan, meeting the commissioner's requirements, and safeguarding adjoining structures during these operations.


WHY IS IT CRUCIAL?

Vibration monitoring is pivotal in construction and industrial projects, especially when heavy machinery or dynamic operations like pile driving are involved. Our advanced sensors and monitoring techniques precisely assess vibrations generated during these processes. By analyzing these measurements, we mitigate potential risks to nearby structures, ensuring they stay within safe limits and comply with NYC DOB regulations.


HOW DO I GET IT?

Our team installs vibration monitors on-site, following the Monitoring Plan's requirements. Even in areas without power, our monitors are connected to compact, handy, and IP65-rated batteries, ensuring continuous power for up to six weeks. With real-time visual data, you can confidently proceed with projects, knowing vibrations are monitored, controlled, and compliant with safety standards.


WHAT WILL YOU RECEIVE?

Expect detailed daily/weekly reports summarizing all vibration activities recorded by each monitor. Our proactive notification system alerts project managers, owners, and engineers if thresholds are exceeded, ensuring immediate action. All our reports are meticulously reviewed and stamped by our principal Professional Engineer, offering transparency and compliance assurance.
