is a key activity for assessing the impact of construction works on the environment and surrounding structures. It ensures that vibration levels remain within acceptable limits and allows early detection of potential risks to buildings, infrastructure, and human comfort.
How is Vibration Measurement Performed?
Monitoring is carried out using high-sensitivity seismometers or vibration sensors installed on critical structures or in the ground near vibration sources. Measurements are conducted according to current standards (e.g., DIN 4150-3, PN-B-02170) and can be performed continuously or periodically. Exceeding defined thresholds triggers alerts and corrective procedures.
Identification of potentially affected structures and selection of monitoring locations.
Placement of vibration sensors and configuration of data logging systems
Continuous or interval-based collection of vibration acceleration, velocity, and displacement.
Evaluation of recorded vibration events, comparison to normative thresholds, and preparation of reports.
Service Workflow
The monitoring process is aligned with the construction schedule and risk level. Measurement frequency and method depend on the nature of works, proximity to sensitive structures, and regulatory requirements.
Based on technical documentation
Map structures and infrastructure potentially affected by vibrations.
Standards-compliant sensors
Select proper instrumentation based on required sensitivity and frequency range.
Sensor placementReal-time or scheduled logging
Record vibration data during piling, demolition, excavation, or heavy traffic.
Preventive actions
Assess measurements and recommend technical adjustments or stop-work conditions if needed.
Benefits of Building Vibration Measurement
Reduces the likelihood of damage to nearby structures.
Aligns with national and international regulations.
Helps maintain trust with neighbors, residents, and authorities.
Alert system allows for real-time intervention during excessive vibration events.
Vibration measurements are typically used in the following situations:
In many countries, yes – especially in urban areas or near sensitive structures. It is often mandated by environmental or construction regulations.
Modern sensors provide very high accuracy, detecting even minimal ground motion with resolution down to micro-meters per second.
