If your business is located near the source of physical or acoustical vibration, it is important that you remain continually aware of any changes in that vibration. Whether the source is a predictable, necessary result of machinery, or a momentary occurrence that may disrupt your day to day operations without warning, monitoring and evaluating these vibrations helps you establish solutions and strategies for dealing with them. Vibration modeling services play a key role in these solutions and strategies.

 

The acoustical properties of a building space are always the result of design. They should never be accidental. Noise and vibration consultants can use modeling methods to determine in advance how your acoustic space will behave, once fully constructed. The comfort and safety of your building’s occupants is a crucial component of your business, whether those occupants are customers, tenants, or visitors. When changes happen in your environment, the continued comfort and safety of your occupants may depend on noise and vibration mitigation, applied through the use of recommendations from a vibration measurement service. 

 

Mechanical vibration from a building’s equipment can propagate through the building structure, radiating into the working space from the structural components. This structure borne noise is the result of some type of physical movement, and can disturb occupants directly or indirectly. Direct movement examples would be vibration of floor or table surfaces, and indirect disturbances might include noise transmitted from a wall, floor, or ceiling. Both of these sources can be an annoyance that leads to reduced productivity. In addition to the occupant comfort issues, vibration can also be a functional problem in a building, ranging from the disruption of sensitive test equipment to vibrating ceiling-mounted video projectors. Noise and vibration consultation will usually conclude that building vibration is caused by machinery such as mechanical system fans, pumps, chillers, and electrical machinery like generators and transformers. In some cases, the footfall of a building’s occupants may be transmitted into a work space as a disturbing vibration.

 

Through the use of vibration modeling and measurement services, your business’ productivity can be returned to its former high level, or boosted to a level previously unattainable. A noise and vibration consultant can present ideas and solutions that might be otherwise overlooked. Vibration modeling services are able to simulate the eventual results of the various noise and vibration mitigation methods. You’ll be able to experience the projected improvement in your acoustic space even before any mitigating actions are taken.

 

Vibration analysis can also help predict equipment deterioration and failure before any outward signs are noticed. By establishing a base level of vibration characteristics, changes in this base state can be taken as early warning signs, allowing your equipment repair and replacement to be executed in a controlled, predicted manner, rather than as an emergency measure.
