Do I need noise monitoring, vibration monitoring or both?
That depends on the activities, nearby sensitive locations and project requirements. Noise and vibration address different effects. Our team will review your brief and recommend the appropriate combination and coverage.
How many monitors will my site need?
There is no single number suitable for every site. We consider the site layout, work phases, nearby receptors, monitoring objectives and any specified positions before agreeing the equipment and locations.
Should monitoring start before construction begins?
Where a baseline or existing-condition record is required, monitoring should begin before the relevant activity. We agree the duration and locations around your project’s requirements and programme.
Can you help with Section 61 monitoring requirements?
Yes. Share the application, consent conditions or relevant project documents. Our team can help define appropriate noise and vibration monitoring, reporting and alert arrangements alongside the wider construction management requirements.
What happens when a trigger level is exceeded?
Configured notifications are sent according to the agreed settings and connectivity. Your responsible team should investigate the event, review the work taking place and follow the agreed response procedure. We can provide specialist review at the level included in your scope.
Does a vibration alert mean a building has been damaged?
An alert alone does not establish damage or its cause. It identifies a measurement for investigation. Interpretation depends on the recorded event, monitoring position, criteria and wider evidence, with surveyor or structural engineering input where appropriate.
Can you investigate noise or vibration complaints?
Yes. We can scope targeted monitoring and technical review to investigate a concern. Tell us about the reported effects, timing, suspected activity and intended use of the findings so we can agree an appropriate approach.
How do you maintain the monitoring equipment?
We provide servicing, calibration checks and calibration arrangements appropriate to the equipment and agreed service. Access, maintenance responsibilities and reporting arrangements are confirmed in your scope.
Can monitoring be installed without mains power?
Where suitable mains power is unavailable, we can assess an off-grid solution. Tell us about the proposed location, access and available power so we can review suitable equipment and installation arrangements.
Am I tied into a fixed-term contract?
No. Monitoring is provided on a rolling weekly rate, so you can use the service for as long or as short a period as you need. We work with you to adjust coverage, extend the service or arrange removal when monitoring is no longer required.
