Ground and Building Vibration
 

Opus Operandi


We adhere to the old, good, simple
and quite often forgotten business philosophy that the most effective form of advertising is to satisfy our clients.
 

Our strength


We not only pinpoint,
we also effectively resolve
engineering problems.
 


P
ollution Control Consultancy and D
esign (PCCD)
provides measurements and assessments of ground and
building vibration in terms of
:

1.
Environment Protection Authority of New South Wales (EPA) incorporated in New South Wales Office of Environment
and Heritage (OEH) - Assessing Vibration: a technical guideline (February 2006);

2.
New South Wales State Rail Authority (SRA) / Rail Infrastructure Corporation (RIC) - Guidelines for control of rail related
noise and vibration (October 1995 and November 2003);
 
3.


New South Wales Department of Planning - Development near Rail Corridors and Busy Roads - Interim Guideline 2008;
4.

German Standard DIN 4150 Part 3 1999 and British Standard BS 7385 Part 2 1993 - risk of vibration damage
to structures (buildings);

as well as measurements of vibration for:

-    machine condition monitoring; and
-    investigation of structure-borne noise.

 


We carry out our vibration measurements with Class 1:
