Seismic Surveys monitors vibration and noise from marine construction projects to measure and document these effects transmitted to adjacent third-party structures, people, and marine life. Our monitoring systems include sensors that measure noise (airborne or underwater) and vibrations caused by blasting, pile driving, demolition, dredging, or heavy equipment operation on these projects. With continual measurement using our state-of-the-art technology, our customers can adjust operations to control noise and vibration effects to accepted safe standards. These data are valuable protection against unwarranted claims and assist in addressing concerns when they arise.
Marine Construction
Why Is Seismic Monitoring Important In Marine Construction?
Marine construction involves building marine structures and shorelines in a marine or shoreline environment. Examples of these marine construction projects are:
- Foundation pile driving for the building of docks and wharves
- Sheet-pile driving for cofferdams or seawalls
- Beachfill construction
- Shoreline revetment/groin construction
- Underwater blasting for channel deepening or widening
- Demolition of marine structures.
The marine contractor must control vibration and noise levels transmitted to adjacent structures, people, or marine life from these projects to accepted safe standards. Vibration and noise levels within accepted safe limits can still result in concerns or a need to demonstrate compliance with regulations or project specifications. Collecting vibration noise data at nearby exposures before and during construction activities is a marine construction contractor’s best tool for demonstrating compliance and minimizing the risk of vibration and noise-related claims.
