Why is Vibration Monitoring Important?

Seismograph information is used to show compliance with regulations or specified limits, to evaluate blast design performance, and to provide valuable evidence if litigation arises. Accurate and timely vibration monitoring and measurements provide immediate results that  assist in reducing the costs associated with your operation.

 

Sauls delivers the seismograph data through NOW AccessSM, our proprietary website. Within minutes of blasting or heavy construction activity, our customers receive validated seismograph readings via text or email. We have found this serves as an excellent data record while making those readings available on our website for blast design, public relations considerations, and regulatory compliance.

How Does Vibration Monitoring Work?

Sauls Seismic’s monitoring experts select locations and properly deploy seismographs to ensure accurate seismic readings. By using Sauls’ NOW AccessSM data management and storage system, combined with telemetry and remote vibration monitoring stations, we deliver immediate data. This optimizes communication when planning the next blasting or construction event and mitigates future concerns.

 

NOW AccessSM offers the latest in computer records availability.

  • Seismic events emailed or texted within minutes of each blast
  • Seismic data filtered so clients are only notified of events from blasts
  • Data entry option automatically calculates and stores K-factor for each blast
  • Customized, date-specific data reporting capabilities with Z-Curve chart
  • Access to data anytime via the Internet
  • Mobile-friendly platform
  • Secure data storage at a leading cloud-based storage provider

Sauls uses Nomis Seismographs, which are manufactured and calibrated to the latest version of the ISEE’s Performance Specifications of Blasting Seismographs. Through historical regulatory testing, Nomis has performed at the top of all brands.

 

Additional monitoring tools to aid in community relations include displacement/crack gauges. These show the effects of environmental changes within existing cracks in a structure compared to the effects of blasting and construction. Digital vibration sensors, which can record changes as small as a micron, monitor real-time widths of separations to evaluate a building’s response to blasting and environmental forces. All data are available via NOW AccessSM anytime you need it. By proving that an existing crack did not widen during a blast, these data can be invaluable when dealing with homeowner complaints.

 

If your job requires a remote monitoring station or a technician on-site, our team will help you find the right solution for your project.
