Infrastructure Vibration and Noise Consulting Services
by SF LBE Certified with SFHRC
 
Looking for LBEs for your project with the City and County of San Francisco? While you might expect to find lots of trades, you might not expect to find noise and vibration consulting services. Vibro-Acoustic Consultants is on the LBE (local business enterprise) list with the San Francisco Human Rights Commission. (SFHRC Certificate available upon request.)

We formed Vibro-Acoustic Consultants (VACC, Inc.) to provide vibration and acoustical solutions to a wide range of industries, institutions, and individuals. Building on our broad experience, we offer a full array of vibration and noise design consulting, measurement, and monitoring services. We consider our greatest strength to be our knowledge base and experience – we not only know the rules-of-thumb, but we understand their underlying physical principles. At the same time, we also know our way around construction sites and understand how to provide test, measurement, monitoring, and design solutions that are robust, unobtrusive, and cost-efficient.

As of August 2009, we are working on two different infrastructure projects with SFPUC. We are providing long-term site noise and vibration monitoring for the Crystal Springs Bypass Tunnel project (with Shank/Balfour-Beatty). This project requires continuous high-end real-time monitoring of construction noise and vibration impact on the surrounding community. We are also providing construction-noise impact test services for the Calaveras Dam Replacement project (with URS). This project required simulation of construction activities to help evaluate the noise impact on nearby homes.

Both of these projects are part of the Water System Improvement Program, a $4.4 billion Hetch Hetchy water infrastructure upgrade effort by the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission. Contact us to discuss how we can strengthen your team while fulfilling LBE requirements as you go after projects with SFPUC, and the City and County of San Francisco.

OUtside of San Francisco, but still in the infrastructure industry, we recently began work with the Bethel Island Bridge Replacement project in Contra Costa County. This project requires continuous hydroacoustic monitoring of underwater noise levels due to pile driving activities in the Delta.

 
Background: Vibro-Acoustic Consultants is an established consultancy based in downtown San Francisco. We have been on the San Francisco SFHRC LBE List of certified firms since 2007.
