Environmental Vibration Monitoring Equipment for Ground and Buildings
Environmental vibration monitoring is crucial for assessing and managing the impact of vibrations on structures, equipment, on the ground and surrounding environment. Industries involving construction, road works or demolition rely on this monitoring to protect neighbouring buildings, infrastructure, and sensitive equipment, while also ensuring compliance with environmental regulations.
Measuring and Monitoring Ground Vibration
Ground vibrations can originate from activities such as construction, mining, or heavy transportation. If left unchecked, these vibrations can affect nearby structures, disrupt operations, and endanger public safety.
Ground vibration is measured using Seismographs which detect and record the intensity, duration, and frequency of seismic waves. These vibrations are measured in terms of Peak Particle Velocity (PPV) which is the speed at which particles in a medium within the ground (such as soil or rock) move in response to external forces or disturbances.
Specialised equipment has also been developed to measure and record vibrations on buildings or structures, both externally and at ground level.
