Vibration Surveys
Ground borne vibration can be an issue in many industrial, residential and constructions projects. Vibrations can arise from many different sources, including railway lines, road-based traffic and industrial sites.
We have years of experience in offering monitoring and solutions to mitigate ground borne vibrations.
Like noise, ground borne vibration assessment helps to ensure that the activities of the proposed development or project are not negatively impacting nearby residents, community areas or businesses. In addition to the nuisance or distress that this can cause, ground borne vibrations can also damage the structural integrity of nearby permanent structures, which also includes any structures that the noise in emanating from. To prevent such clearly undesirable consequences, a planning permission or environmental health officer may request that a ground borne vibration survey be conducted in accordance with BS 6472.
What is BS 6472?
This British standard provides details concerning measurement and mitigation of ground borne vibration, ensuring that ground borne vibration does not negatively impact surrounding areas or cause structural damage over time.
What type of ground borne vibration survey do I require?
Your local authority (typically your planning permission or environmental health officer) will inform you of the need for a ground borne vibration assessment. The type of ground borne vibration survey required for your project will depend on the specific nature of your proposed development. Some are needed before any work has begun.
