Vibration due to Noise
Vibration due to Noise
(OP)
Dear Colleagues:
I'm working at the moment in a project were our client is asking us to comply with the following Noise Vibration levels.
Category Vibration limit (?)see com: 1 Rooms/ areas Comments
1 < 0.02 m/s2 Central control room
2 < 0.04 m/s2 Workshops, laboratories, control rooms, offices and equipment rooms,
3 < 0.07 m/s2 Process and utility areas
4 < 0.25 m/s2 Locally to equipment
5 < 3 m/s2 Normally unmanned areas
Can a normal construction comply with these limits or special construction has to be provided. I appreciate everyone's support.

There is nothing wrong in bringing in an expert to aid you in your design. I would not dare venture into areas where I ma vulnerable and week. I also think it is very unprofessional.

RE: Vibration due to Noise
This is not an area of 'normal' engineering. Specialists in acoustics may well be your first choice.
I note that the reqirement for area 5 is radically different from the other values.
Has your client asked for any method of verifying compliance? I imagine that there may be significant costs in site testing vibration performance.
