Ground-borne vibration from external sources such as trains, structure-borne vibration from building services equipment, or activities within adjoining properties such as a bowling alley or weights being dropped in a fitness gym can cause significant disturbance to occupants and in extreme cases even result in structural damage to the building itself.
We are experienced in undertaking measurement of existing vibration levels and assessment of proposed new sources in accordance with BS 6472 and other relevant Standards and guidance documents.
Assessments of vibration from proposed new sources including building services equipment or activities such as a fitness gym with potential for high levels of vibration can be undertaken at early stages of the design to ensure suitable mitigation measures are incorporated and acceptable vibration levels are achieved.
