What types of equipment are used for construction boundary vibration monitoring?

The main tool used is a vibration monitor fitted with a tri-axial geophone. A geophone is a small sensor that measures ground movement in three directions.

Modern units usually include:

• Real-time data logging

• SMS/email alerting if limits are exceeded

• Secure remote access

• Weatherproof casings

• Battery or mains power options

Some systems also measure noise and dust at the same time, giving a complete picture of environmental impact.
