Vibration, settlement and noise predictions

At SOCOTEC, we help you predict and manage the impact of vibrations, settlement and noise disturbances on your project site. Whether you’re dealing with construction activities, traffic, industrial processes or other environmental factors, our reliable prediction models provide crucial insights to minimise risks, ensuring your project runs safely and smoothly.

Vibration predictions

What is a vibration prediction?
Vibration predictions simulate the expected impact of vibrations from activities or processes. These forecasts help prevent structural damage and nuisance to nearby environments.

How does it work?
Our models use advanced software and historical data to forecast vibration intensity, frequency and impact. This enables us to map out potential effects accurately and control risks proactively.

Applications of vibration predictions:

Construction projects: Predicting vibrations from heavy equipment and activities such as piling and drilling.
Infrastructure: Analysing vibrations from traffic, trains and other sources affecting bridges and tunnels.
Industrial processes: Assessing the environmental impact of machine-induced vibrations.

Settlement predictions

What is a settlement prediction?
Settlement predictions forecast soil movement and subsidence during or after construction activities. These insights guide foundation design and help prevent damage caused by unexpected ground shifts.

How does it work?
Our models account for soil structure, construction loads and factors such as groundwater levels. This allows us to accurately predict settlement effects and advise on the appropriate measures.

Applications of settlement predictions:

Construction projects: Planning foundations and estimating soil movement.
Infrastructure: Monitoring settlement in bridges, tunnels and other critical structures.
Geotechnical research: Assessing site stability for new developments.

Noise predictions

What is a noise prediction?
Noise predictions estimate expected noise levels around your project. This is essential for minimising disturbance and complying with regulatory limits.

How does it work?
Using advanced modelling and measurement data, we forecast the acoustic impact of sources such as construction machinery, traffic, or industrial operations. This allows you to anticipate issues and take timely action.

Applications of noise predictions:

Construction projects: Predicting noise from machinery and on-site work.
Infrastructure: Evaluating traffic noise and other sources such as railways.
Industrial processes: Measuring noise output from factories, machines, and installations.
