Remote Ground Vibration Monitoring Systems

Vibration Monitoring Compliance

The number of tender guidelines and risk assessments requiring remote vibration monitoring continues to grow. Plus a range of international, national and corporate standards exist to inform project managers and contractors on the best practice for measurement of shock and vibration in buildings. By using the RDL//Vibe you can demonstrate compliance with the above requirements (in most cases).

Long Battery Life

Typically 1-2 months battery life (mains power adaptor available for long-term applications).

Easy to Install and Go

The RDL//Vibe's design offers minimal effort to install and set up the equipment - meaning you can be monitoring vibration levels on multiple sites almost instantly.

Product overview

Remote Ground Vibration Monitoring with RDL//Vibe Wireless Equipment

The RDL//Vibe is a complete ground vibration monitoring system - that offers wireless (mobile) connectivity, long battery life (usually 1 - 2 months), alarming (Email and SMS), and constant access to data online via the CDLSmartHub portal.

Caption Data began manufacturing the RDL//Vibe in 2012 and it was originally designed to be robust for use in harsh environments such as construction sites, yet simple to use and sensitive enough to capture low frequency vibrations.

Since 2012, RDL//Vibe ground vibration monitoring systems have been used on hundreds of construction sites to monitor vibration levels arising from activities such as: piling, demolition, blasting, excavation, heavy truck use as well as monitoring ground vibrations generated from road and rail traffic.

In addition, RDL//Vibe ground vibration monitoring equipment has been used to remotely monitor vibration levels in some of the UK's most prestigious buildings, landmarks such as the Natural History Museum and the most iconic lighthouse in the British Isles.

The company we keep

"It was invaluable in ensuring that we closely reviewed the piling operation and that it did not impact on the neighbouring community. The data that was captured and recorded also has provided us with transparent information which coupled with pre commencement surveys confirmed that the whole operation was carried out with no impact to the neighbouring properties. We would highly recommend your product and would not hesitate to use it again" - Managing Director, Construction Company

“The system was able to find mobile network coverage with ease by using roaming sims that offer an uninterrupted supply of data” - Vibration Monitoring Consultant

“The ability to remotely access live motion data from this iconic landmark, and to be able to change the threshold at which we acquire such data has been a tremendous asset for our research project” - Associate Professor, Plymouth University's School of Marine Science and Engineering
