Vibration isolation is a commonly used technique that helps to reduce or suppress unwanted vibrations in structures and machines. It is important because reducing incoming vibrational energy can help protect buildings or equipment from excessive wear. Vibration is especially undesirable in habitable spaces, and the oscillation of the ground caused by such things as construction activities and heavy traffic can cause damage to residential and commercial properties. Aside from the obvious reasons, vibration is also a waste of energy and can create unwanted sound.
Finding a reputable company that can provide reliable tests on vibrations and prepare and deliver comprehensive, yet simple-to-read reports on time and within your budget, can be hard to find. Here at Koikas Acoustics we have a professional team of experts who specialise in all aspects of noise and vibration control, including vibration isolation solutions. Construction noise and vibration are unavoidable, but by seeking honest and reliable reports early on can save you time and money later.
Vibration Experts Can Help You Isolate Vibrations
Working with a support partner like Koikas Acoustics in the early stages of planning your project can help you considerably to meet criteria and deadlines and provide a smooth-running project from start to finish. For more than 30 years we have been providing expert knowledge on a whole range of different projects that involve any amount of noise and vibration queries, and that is why we are one of the best consultancy firms in Australia today.
Our specialists can carry out construction vibration monitoring to assess your site and we have lots of advise on how to isolate vibrations depending on the cause. There are different types of isolators including metal springs, rubber mounts and pneumatic mounts.
Vibration monitors are definitely worth placing at your site during construction works, as measuring vibration levels is invaluable when assessing the impact of your work to neighbouring building/s and/or other existing stuctures to avoid any damages to these. During the construction works, such as excavations, rock hammering and similar activities, the monitors can capture the vibration levels and with the alarms and/or SMS installed can alert site workers when vibration levels exceed the baseline vibration levels. We can give you a full breakdown of the vibration levels for your project.
