Top 3 Benefits of Remote Vibration Monitoring

As residential neighbourhoods continue to flourish construction companies, developers and project managers are under increasing pressure to minimise the risks of damage to nearby properties and structures, reduce nuisance complaints and adopt the most ethical working methods. 

Activities such as Demolition, piling and other construction works generate vibrations that if not managed can cause structural damage and nuisance to residents of properties.

There are a number of vibration monitoring solutions available such as handheld vibration meters, shock and vibration data loggers, vibration monitoring systems (without wireless communications) and vibration monitoring systems (with wireless communications). Caption Data specialise in GSM enabled vibration monitoring systems, and with roaming SIMs they always connect to the mobile network with the strongest signal.
