Assessment and design of vibration involves the investigation of how vibration propagates within, and radiates to and from structures. When occurring within a completed structure rather than during construction, vibration problems are often exceptionally expensive and time-consuming to rectify. As such it is important that the assessment of vibration and resulting designs are carried out by a competent and experienced firm.

Over their many years of experience, the founders of Octave Acoustics have been responsible for the successful design and implementation of many vibration isolation strategies for varied construction projects. This experience includes isolation of buildings and sensitive equipment from rail and tramways, tunnelling works, piling, internal mechanical sources, car parks, lifts, and road expansion joints.

This experience also extends to the assessment of vibration problems within existing buildings and the design and supervision of building works to rectify the issue. Experience in relation to the successful rectification and management of vibration problems includes large commercial gyms, tunnelling works, lifts, road expansion joints and mechanical plant.
