Vibration Monitoring Services
Our Services
Saltus provides comprehensive vibration monitoring services with two specialized approaches: wireless automated systems and manned monitoring solutions. Our professional vibration monitoring services help protect structures during construction activities in New York and surrounding areas.
Wireless Vibration Monitoring
Our certified technicians deploy advanced real-time seismographic monitoring equipment to continuously track vibrations affecting surrounding structures during construction projects. This wireless vibration monitoring system automatically records vibration data and generates instant alerts when predetermined thresholds are exceeded, ensuring immediate notification to project stakeholders and protecting neighboring properties.
Manned Vibration Monitoring
Our manned vibration monitoring services utilize on-site certified technicians who actively monitor seismographic data in real-time. This hands-on approach ensures immediate response to any vibration levels that could impact adjacent structures. Our experienced monitoring specialists maintain direct communication with site managers and engineers, providing instant notifications when construction activities generate concerning vibration levels. This monitoring method is particularly valuable for sensitive projects involving MTA infrastructure, subway tunnels, and critical urban structures.
Applications for Professional Vibration Monitoring Services
- Construction
- Excavation
- Demolition
- Blasting
- Dynamic Compaction
- Pile Driving
- Remote Access
- Tunnel/Subway
- Underwater

Frequently Asked Questions
What is construction vibration monitoring? Vibration monitoring uses specialized seismographs to accurately measure and record vibrations produced during construction activities. This ensures that the impact on surrounding structures remains within safe limits and complies with local regulations.
How does vibration monitoring protect neighboring buildings? By tracking vibrations from activities like excavation, demolition, or pile driving, we can detect if levels exceed the permissible threshold. If a spike occurs, our systems trigger real-time alerts so construction teams can take immediate corrective action to prevent structural damage or cracks.
What is the difference between Wireless and Manned Vibration Monitoring?
Wireless Monitoring: Uses automated seismographic equipment that records and reports data in real-time, sending automatic triggers to the client if thresholds are breached.
Manned Monitoring: Involves an on-site technician who manually monitors the seismographic data. This is often required for high-sensitivity areas like MTA properties or tunnels.
When is vibration monitoring required for a project? Monitoring is typically required for projects involving blasting, pile driving, deep excavation, or demolition, especially in dense urban environments like New York City (e.g., to comply with TPPN 10/88) or near historic landmarks and sensitive facilities.
