Environmental Noise and Vibration Monitoring

Hardware Capability
Since our launch, we have steadily increased our noise and vibration monitoring capacity by purchasing high performance sound and vibration level meters.
This has allowed us to undertake projects requiring from 1 up to more than 10 simultaneous monitoring positions over short and long term periods.

Audio Recording
We are capable of monitoring noise levels as well as triggering audio recording when certain threshold levels are exceeded in order to facilitate source identification and ensure accurate reporting of recorded measurements.
Alert Systems
Our noise and vibration monitoring systems can be set up to send email or SMS messages when threshold levels are exceeded. We also have custom-build solutions for visual alarms when a quick response time is required.
