Vibration Claims

In relation to claims involving damages to industrial, commercial, and residential buildings, as well as other structures, allegedly caused by excessive vibration from blasting or construction-related activities NFC has the ability to determine the validity and extent of a loss, identify all subrogation possibilities, and provide expert witness services, if needed. These services can assist in substantially reducing or eliminating potential claim costs before, during, and after construction or demolition.

Our experienced engineers assist our clients in determining the levels of vibration and their effects on structures by interpreting existing data or using our state-of-the-art instruments. This data can be used in claims/loss proceedings and in formulating programs to contain vibration levels within acceptable limits.

Potential applications include:

• Blasting
• Heavy construction
• Pile driving
• Tunneling
• Heavy traffic flow
• Heavy machinery and equipment
• Mining
