Acoustic Integrity Testing of Foundation Piles

Insights from Research Using the Profound SIT Series Acoustic integrity testing of foundation piles has been an important technique in the foundation industry for many decades. Internationally it is known as low strain integrity testing. On construction sites it is often simply called the hammer test. The goal is straightforward. The method provides a quick […]

Why the VIBRA5+ and the Profound Portal Are Essential for Modern Vibration Monitoring

Why the VIBRA5+ and the Profound Portal Are Essential for Modern Vibration Monitoring Vibration measurements have become an important part of construction and infrastructure projects. Where monitoring used to be limited to large piling works, it is now a standard requirement for many types of activities. Municipalities set strict rules, residents expect transparency and contractors […]

What is Vibration Monitoring

What Is Vibration Monitoring Vibration monitoring is the continuous measurement of motion in buildings, ground or machinery. It helps engineers, contractors, and plant operators understand risk, performance, and compliance. In practice, vibration monitoring means measuring velocity or acceleration, tracking Peak Particle Velocity (PPV) and dominant frequency, and comparing the results with accepted limits or historical […]
