We are often asked by our clients to assess vibration for planning applications or consult on how to solve existing vibration problems.

Typically, man-made sources of vibration which we have experienced are:

• Piling Operations
• Road Traffic
• Railways
• Blasting
• Rotating Machinery
• Drop Forging

When tackling these problems we may need to consider either of the following:

• Human response to vibration. Are people likely to be concerned over the operation of one of these sources?
• Building response to vibration. Is a particular source likely to be at a level at which damage to a building is possible?
