Vibration assessments including measurement and analysis can be carried out as part of a wider acoustical service. WBM is able to measure vibration levels against client specifications or against structural damage risk and human response criteria. For most of the environmental assessments that WBM carries out, vibration is rarely a significant issue. It is unusual for site plant to generate vibration that is perceptible beyond the site boundaries at sensitive properties. In those cases where vibration is significant WBM can advise on criteria and control. Sources of vibration that we have recently assessed include trains, heavy goods vehicles and construction activity affecting both residential and other sensitive structures.
Noise at work assessments are carried out in accordance with the Control of Noise at Work Regulations 2005. Assessments have recently been undertaken at entertainment venues, factories and educational establishments.
