We are California's leading provider in the measurement and assessment of vibration for construction projects. Whatever you needs, we have the expertise and equipment required to monitor and assess vibration levels. Our range of services include vibration monitoring with our personnel on-site through to long term unattended remote monitoring for projects lasting days, weeks, months or years.
Our Clients Include:
Remote Vibration Monitoring Services
Our remote vibration monitoring service offers continuous vibration monitoring with systems capable of collecting data from up to 16 measuring points simultaneously with dust and noise monitoring options.
These systems log triaxial velocity data, peak particle velocity data and dominant frequency data on the web with access for review and download along with sending alerts to your devices, keeping you up to date and in compliance. Our vibration monitoring systems are suitable for most noise and vibration monitoring projects.
Key Features:
Remote vibration monitors
Triaxial velocity measurements, including RMS and peak particle velocity (PPV)
Continuous collection of vibration data for long term projects.
View vibration data online in real time
View historical vibration data online
Online playback of vibration events that exceed predefined thresholds
Immediate text and e-mail alerts when vibration thresholds are exceeded
Noise and Dust monitoring add-ons available
On-Site Attended Monitoring Services
We provide attended vibration monitoring services. For our attended monitoring service, one of our technicians would remain on-site to start and stop measurements, provide monitoring data to construction personnel and relocate monitors as needed. The equipment used for this type of work is capable of short or long term vibration measurements, logging triaxial velocity data, peak particle velocity (PPV) data, and dominant frequencies. Alarm beacon add-ons provide instant visual alerts when predefined peak particle velocity thresholds are exceed.

Construction Vibration Monitoring Services
We monitor vibration produced by demolition and construction operations for long-term and short-term projects using state-of-the-art construction vibration monitoring equipment.
Vibration produced by construction equipment often requires monitoring to prevent damage to structures or to ensure comfort for people. We are experienced in implementing monitoring solutions.
Heavy construction equipment such as excavators and pile drivers can cause high peak particle velocity (PPV) vibration levels that may damage nearby buildings or cause discomfort to occupants. We are experienced in implementing construction vibration monitoring standards and can provide monitoring solutions to suit your needs. We conduct vibration monitoring during construction phases.
We provide either attended or unattended vibration monitoring services to suit the project’s monitoring specifications.
Attended Construction Vibration Monitoring
Vibration monitors will be set up at the required locations at the start of work. A monitoring technician will be present at the site at all times during the vibration-producing activity and can move the monitors as required as work locations change. The technician will keep a log of the vibration producing activities and can provide real-time data to the equipment operators. Our vibration monitors are equipped with wireless alarm beacons that give an instantaneous warning to the machine operators if a preset threshold is exceeded. Typically, the technician will download the logged monitoring data each day and produce a daily monitoring report for the contractor, indicating the causes of any threshold exceedances.
Unattended Construction Vibration Monitoring
Unattended vibration monitoring is often selected by contractors who do not require real-time vibration information, but need to protect themselves against possible future litigation. Vibration monitors will be set up at the required locations at the start of work and will continuously monitor for the required duration. The vibration monitoring systems can be equipped with wireless alarm beacons that give an instantaneous warning to the machine operators if a preset threshold is exceeded. The logged monitoring data is downloaded periodically during the project and a vibration monitoring report is supplied. On request, a technician can visit the construction site to move the meters or download the monitoring data for review.
