What’s Involved in a Vibration Assessment?

Our vibration assessments evaluate the potential impact of vibration on both structures and occupants. We consider the vibration source, intensity, proximity to sensitive receptors, and structural vulnerability.

Following thorough analysis and modelling, we produce a detailed report with findings, compliance status, and mitigation recommendations. These might include changes in equipment, damping materials, or revised working practices. Where needed, we also implement real-time monitoring solutions to track vibration throughout the project lifecycle.
