Construction Noise & Vibration Planning

Professional Construction Noise and Vibration Management Planning

Residential and commercial construction projects only move forward with the participation and planning of essential professional groups including, architects, developers, and town planners and beyond. The preparatory work that is required requires considerable attention to detail but also must consider how the physical work necessary will impact on the environment that will undergo significant change. Construction noise and vibration are unavoidable in such instances, so it’s advisable to seek professional assessments and guidance as early as possible.

At Koikas Acoustics, we are the leading vibration engineers in our field of expertise. As acoustic engineers, we have considerable experience working with a diverse range of clients and across projects of widely differing types. We are the go-to team both for those that face impending deadlines, and those in the early stages of planning. This is because we bring a personal touch to our work and treat each project as our own. This means that you gain a support partner that is motivated to achieve the highest standards and who will approach your project with the meticulous attention to detail that it deserves and requires.

Construction vibration planning will play a big part in determining whether your project is approved to move forward or not. The good news is that since we started working in 1992, we have yet to receive a single complaint. All of our clients meet the applicable criteria because we take the time and put in the effort to ensure it.

How Much Construction Vibration Planning is Necessary? 

Whether you have plenty of experience with construction projects, or if this is the first time that you are undertaking something of this nature, there are a few things that are always worth bearing in mind when it comes to developing a workable construction noise and vibration management plan.

Here at Koikas Acoustic, we appreciate the value of a pre-construction survey that determines the baseline damage that exists in the structures that could potentially be impacted by the work you carry out. This precautionary step can negate any potential claims either during or on completion of the work since it will record the defects and signs of distress that were present before work commenced.

The documentation that you gather and save throughout your project is important. Attention to detail is especially recommended so that if any stakeholder alleges that the vibration caused during the works led to damage to their home, place of business or other structures. 

To limit the possibility of damage, our specialists can carry out construction vibration monitoring to assess your site. Vibration monitors are a worthy addition to your site, and should ideally be in place for a month before construction begins. Capturing baseline vibration levels, particularly in very populated areas that experience high levels of traffic is invaluable. It indicates what the typical vibrations experienced are, and you can also monitor the impact your works are also having.

Once the build is complete, the monitors can capture the baseline that exists in the aftermath, which rounds out your data and affords you a full record of the project.

Consistently Achieving Compliance Since 1992

At Koikas Acoustics, we have worked with thousands of clients over the past twenty-five years and counting. We are passionate about and committed to the work that we do, and we love the challenge of working on projects of different scopes and sizes.

Rest assured, if you are reviewing construction noise and vibration guideline documentation and want to save time and money while ensuring that you will achieve the compliance standards required, then there is no better team to contact. We look forward to working with and for you soon.
