Ground-Borne Vibration

Vibration is a rapid periodic movement to and for oscillating movement. Certain activities can give rise to vibration that can cause structural damage and nuisance to nearby receptors such as blasting, piling, quarrying and other construction/demolition activities.

Aeon Environmental can provide the expertise to carry out baseline vibration surveys and vibration monitoring & assessment during site activities based on the following guidance:

BS 5228-2:2009+A1:2014 ‘Code of practice for noise and vibration control on construction and open sites. Part 2 – Vibration’.

BS 7385-2:1993 ‘Evaluation and measurement for vibration in buildings. Guide to damage levels from groundborne vibration’.
