VIBRATION AND ACOUSTIC ANALYSIS FOR MECHANICAL SYSTEMS

Our Vibration and Acoustic Analysis services investigate noise disturbances, structural vibrations, and mechanical equipment performance issues that affect occupant comfort, building integrity, or code compliance. These forensic evaluations focus on identifying the sources and transmission paths of excessive noise or vibration from HVAC systems, pumps, compressors, fans, and piping networks. Using field measurements, modeling, and system diagnostics, our engineers assess compliance with local noise ordinances, building codes, and design standards. Findings support mitigation strategies such as isolation enhancements, damping modifications, and corrective design, helping to resolve disputes, protect property value, and improve indoor environmental quality.

Vibration Source Identification

Pinpoints equipment or structural elements causing disruptive vibrations, which is particularly beneficial in residential or office buildings where noise impacts occupants. This analysis suggests corrective actions like isolation pads or dampening techniques.

Noise Impact Assessment for Occupant Comfort

Measures acoustic levels and suggests solutions to reduce noise, essential for spaces where excessive noise may disrupt work or comfort, like offices, classrooms, or healthcare facilities.

Enhancement Recommendations for Stability

Recommends structural or equipment modifications to reduce vibrations and noise. For example, in high-rise buildings with mechanical systems on upper floors, this may involve adding vibration isolators to improve occupant comfort and protect equipment.
