Why should you be remotely monitoring shock and vibration?

All sorts of structures can suffer from shock and vibration. From major iconic structures to regular houses and factories near sources of disturbance like construction sites; and whether the cause is new construction or renovations, piling or groundworks, demolition or heavy vehicles – remote shock and vibration monitoring can limit liability for damage to structures and equipment.

What are the key benefits of remotely monitoring shock and vibration?

Comply with a tender document to provide monitoring of vibration levels throughout the construction cycle
Monitor sensitive properties during the construction cycle to ensure vibration levels do not create damage
Provide an audit trail of proof that vibration levels did not exceed acceptable levels
Provide instant email/SMS alerts if vibrations do exceed user-set limits
Limit liability for damage to structures and equipment which is an increasingly important consideration for insurance companies

Introducing the Nano ULTRA-Vibe for shock and vibration monitoring

Nano ULTRA-Vibe

Whether your work is the cause of shocks and vibrations or the sensitive structure that is being disturbed by them, we can help reduce the risk of damage and/or limit the liability of damage.

Our shock and vibration monitoring equipment, the Nano ULTRA-Vibe is optimised for low power usage and is powered with double Lithium D-Cell batteries, in addition, it can also accommodate an external power supply. It constantly monitors vibrations and shocks at user-selected frequencies from 10Hz to 500Hz.

It has inputs from two tri-axial geophone sensors typically with low frequency response down to 4.5Hz (With an optional very low frequency geophone of 0.3Hz). Minimum trigger levels are 0.18mm/s while maximum sensor levels are 43.4mm/s. Alarm thresholds can be set to alert any number of recipients by email or text when predefined limits are exceeded. An alarm “event” is captured at high speed for a pre-set number of samples. Nano ULTRA-Vibe uses a fully roaming SIM to lock onto the most appropriate GSM network at any given time.
