Vibration monitoring systems are capable of recording and storing vibration data generated by construction activities. Two of the most commonly monitored construction activities are blasting and pile driving. Through the years blasting in urban areas has become less of a widely used method though occasionally it is used under careful supervision. Pile driving and drilling is utilized on nearly every job requiring "support of excavation." These projects are typically located in dense areas and require procedures to monitor the impact on adjacent structures. In this instance, a vibration monitor can be used to determine the likelihood of damaging an adjacent structure.

Applications

The MEMS tiltmeter is a compact, waterproof tiltmeter with a range of ±10° from vertical. It is used to monitor changes in the inclination of a structure. Applications for the tiltmeter include:

Monitoring rotation of retaining walls, piers, and piles.

Providing early warning of potential structural damage.

Documenting any effects of nearby deep excavations.

Outside forces and unaccounted for load over time on a structure can cause fatigue. To monitor this , strain gauges can be placed on various structural components of a building or support of excavation using either epoxy or spot welding technique. This system can be automated and monitored remotely via a customer portal. These metrics provide insight both long term and short term depending on the clients needs to structural integrity analytics. 

Sound/Noise Monitoring

Vibranalysis offers short-term, long-term, permanent, and semi-permanent noise monitoring services. We provide noise level documentation, compliance verification, and operating condition noise impact analysis. Vibranalysis deploys sound level meters to capture the ambient noise levels of a project site before operations begin, and to record noise levels generated by heavy equipment and project activities in effort to reduce its impacts on the community. Noise level data that is recorded is processed and presented in reports for a variety of services, including: Noise Impact Analysis, Ambient Sound Surveys, and Code Compliance Surveys. We provide a unique, fully automated service to our clients that includes direct access to data recorded by our network of noise level meters in real time so they can review audio of noises that exceed ordinance limits or project specifications.

Vibranalysis is a leader in ambient air pollution and meteorological monitoring. Vibranalysis designs, installs, maintains and supports monitoring networks that meet a full range of regulatory and research requirements. Modular and automated monitoring equipment can be utilized when monitoring for VOCs and particulates, to rule out user error. Environmental monitoring during construction or renovation ensures the safety of occupants and the surrounding community, protects vital assets, minimizes liability, and reduces project disruption. Our engineers can efficiently and quickly track the source of the issue and implement modifications (construction practices, ventilation systems), if needed, to protect occupants and resources. Access to real-time information also allows Vibranalysis to quickly differentiate construction impacts from issues unrelated to the project, often without the need for a site investigation. This uniquely allows us to avoid costly and unnecessary delays and potential work stoppages, yet ensures that air quality is maintained at all times.

In 2015, Vibranalysis acquired a proprietary software Construction Photo Docs. Through the utilization of advanced reporting and visualization software, Vibranalysis can document and report existing conditions of structures adjacent to construction unparalleled to its competition. This online portal allows the client to interact with their content in an incredibly simple thorough way. If needed our customers can review progress documentation as the job moves forward with ease.
