Brüel & Kjær teams up with Instantel for construction noise and vibration services

DENMARK, SEPTEMBER 2011

Large infrastructure construction projects take several years to complete and are often located within built-up areas. This can give rise to significant noise and vibration nuisance which, if left unmanaged, can lead to project delays and significantly increased costs.  Importantly, excessive vibration from pile driving and other construction activities can lead to damage to nearby property and potential litigation.

Brüel & Kjær has been active for many years providing noise monitoring solutions to manage noise nuisance around the world and is pleased to announce a partnership with Instantel to add vibration monitoring to its Noise Sentinel managed services.

“We’ve chosen to partner with Instantel as they have field-proven instrumentation that we can integrate with our established noise monitoring technology to target solutions at the Construction industry,”  said Phil Stollery, Product Marketing Manager for Brüel & Kjær Environment Management Solutions. “Simultaneous noise and vibration monitoring will enable us to deliver unique solutions to the Construction Industry that will help to reduce impact on communities, demonstrate compliance with regulations and manage project risk.”

About the partnership, Ron Mask, Sales Manager for Instantel said, “We’re obviously delighted that Brüel & Kjær has chosen Instantel and the Minimate PRO4. Brüel & Kjær is synonymous worldwide with high-quality instrumentation and we are very pleased to be associated with them.”

Brüel & Kjær and Instantel will exhibit joint solutions at the FMGM 2011, Field Measurement in Geomechanics, 12 - 16 September in Berlin.
