Vibration Engineering

Scenic Acoustic and Vibration Engineering Ltd (SAVE) provide a diverse range of Vibration Engineering services and solutions, including Vibration Analysis, Rotor Dynamics, FAT/SAT, Bump Testing, Modal Analysis, ODS, Structural Vibration, Pipework Vibration, Occupational Vibration (HAV / WBV), Human Response to vibration (BS6472), Vibration damage in building (BS7385), and Planning Application Vibration Impact.

Vibration Engineering is applicable to all industry sectors and can be utilised to assess and find solutions for many problematic process and engineering conditions. Whether your requirement is to diagnose a problematic vibration in a machine, building or other large structure, or for the measurement and assessment of the correct vibration isolation mounts or hangers for machinery foundations and pipework. Also for the assessment of vibration exposure to Human beings in the form of Hand Arm Vibration and Whole Body Vibration as required for Occupational Vibration Measurement and Assessments; or even for design purposes to ensure that operating conditions of a machine or process do not amplify the Natural Frequency of the system, SAVE have the expertise required to perform any vibration engineering task.

Some of the advanced Vibration Engineering methods and techniques offered by SAVE include:

• Vibration Analysis (VA) – is used to detect faults in rotating and reciprocating equipment…
• Natural Frequency ‘Bump’ Testing – determination of any Natural Frequencies…
• Modal Analysis – study of the dynamic properties of systems…
• Rotor Dynamics – a specialized area concerned with the behaviour and diagnosis of rotating structures…
• Structural Vibration – behaviour of a system when subjected to dynamic ..
• Operating Deflection shape (ODS) – visualisation of the vibration of a machine or structure…
• Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) / Site Acceptance Testing (SAT) – assessment of new/overhauled machinery…
• Vibration Induced Pipework Fatigue Failure Analysis  – a Risk Based Inspection (RBI) assessment of pipework fatigue and failures resulting from vibration…
• Occupational Vibration Measurement (HAVS)/(WBV) – vibration exposure to Humans…
• Human response to vibration – assessments in accordance with BS6472…
• Building response/Damage criteria – assessment of nearby activities, Pile driving, quarrying…
• Planning Guidance – Noise and Vibration studies in accordance with planning requirements…
• Mechanical & Electrical Noise and Vibration in buildings – mitigation for vibration/re-radiated noise problems…
• Rail impact studies – planning noise and vibration applications.
• Triaxial monitoring of vibration Peak Particle Velocity and event Vibration Dosage Values (VDV) – Quarries, blasting, rail vibration.
• Speed bump annoyance (vibration and noise for residential dwellings)

SAVE are a member of the Institute of Acoustics (IOA) and the British Institute of Non-Destructive Testing (BINDT). SAVE sits on the BINDT Vibration Analysis Working Group Committee.
