Monitoring
 

We are fully experienced and equipped with state-of-the-art Measurement instrumentation to custom install short term and long term vibration and noise monitoring systems at your facilities. 

Noise Monitoring
Noise monitoring is often employed to record noise levels at property lines as part of determining compliance with local ordinances under normal operation of the facility or during construction activities.  We also use noise monitoring data as part of full 3-D computer-based environmental noise evaluation of facilities.  Whatever the need, from minor dispute resolution to long-term community-wide compliance monitoring, we are confident we can employ our extensive experience and measurement capabilities to address your unique problems and needs. 

Vibration Monitoring
Vibration monitoring is often needed to protect an operating facility -- for example, a semiconductor fab or other Advanced Technology Facility -- from construction activities associated with a new facility immediately adjacent.  Because fast-track construction schedules and ongoing protection of high-yield production are often in conflict on issues of vibration and noise, monitoring is essential in maintaining the goals of both. 

We can employ our sophisticated multi-channel instrumentation along with our extensive knowledge on the design of fabrication facilities and the nature of tool sensitivities to supply customized monitoring systems. These systems are capable of providing real-time monitoring and transmit warning and alarm signals to appropriate individuals (construction managers, tool owners).  We are uniquely qualified to supply a complete system and support through field installation, subsequent remote access to the system, data processing and reporting.

Sometimes, it may be plausible to continue using a noise or vibration monitoring system even after the initial need (construction, resident complaints, etc.) has passed.  Continued vibration monitoring is particularly useful in tracking changes which often occur throughout the life operating fabs.  In our experience, these facilities undergo considerable changes (as after major retooling) and continuous vibration monitoring should be an integral part of a fab maturation process.  One can readily realize and appreciate the value provided by such a system relative to it’s small cost.

Our Services
We can supply noise and vibration monitoring hardware customized to fit the needs of a particular project, assist in field installation, train your personnel, and support the monitoring system through the completion of the project.  We invite you to contact us to discuss not only your monitoring needs but also the design and deployment of corrective measures, if they become necessary.
