Demolition and Construction - Vibration Monitoring London

Demolition works has the detrimental effect of causing actual damage to existing structures through ground-borne vibrations. Two common sources of complaints are direct vibration disturbance to occupants of buildings  and ground-borne noise that radiates from structures that can vibrate. Therefore, vibration impacts may be classified as damaging or intrusive.

There are currently two British Standards which offer advice on acceptable levels of vibrations in structures.
BS 7385: Part 1:1990, Mechanical Vibration and Shock - vibration of buildings - guidelines for the measurement of vibrations and evaluation of their effects on buildings, discusses the principles for carrying out vibration measurements and processing the data.
BS 7385: Part 2:1990, Evaluation and measurement for vibration in buildings.
