Vibration monitoring construction site

When a construction project takes place next to a hospital, a historic monument, a museum or residential buildings, vibrations are no longer a detail. Even moderate levels can cause cracks, weaken structures or spark complaints from local communities. That is why vibration monitoring has become a standard requirement in many urban projects.

Monitoring starts with the right placement of sensors. Engineers position accelerometers at strategic points close to the most exposed structures. These devices capture vibration levels in real time and create a clear baseline of data. Having this reference is essential to understand whether the works remain within acceptable thresholds or if corrective action is needed.

Technology also plays a key role. Traditional wired systems are heavy to deploy, while modern equipment such as our TREMOR sensor is compact, autonomous and designed for demanding environments. Powered by a standard 24V supply and equipped with 4G connectivity, it works directly on site without complex cabling. Once installed, the data is sent to the Recovib Cloud Platform, where project managers can visualize results, set up alerts and share reports instantly with stakeholders.

This approach makes vibration monitoring not only a compliance exercise but also a practical way to build trust. Contractors can demonstrate that their works are under control, while architects and engineers gain the confidence that sensitive buildings are protected. In the end, reliable monitoring ensures that construction can move forward without unnecessary disputes or costly interruptions.
