Vibration-Based Condition Monitoring

Introduction to Vibration Monitoring Services

Vibration-based condition monitoring is pivotal in evaluating potential damages to buildings and infrastructures from unwanted vibrations. These can stem from construction, demolition, blasting, or other related activities. Pre- and post-vibration surveys enable property owners to identify, document, and monitor existing damages, allowing a proactive approach to damage that might not have been previously evident. By employing such services, contractors can notably reduce liabilities associated with their projects.
