AUDX-NY - NYCDOB - Construction Monitoring Services
Our Construction Monitoring Areas:
- Pre-Construction Survey
- Construction Monitoring Plan and Protocol
- Crack Monitoring
- Vibration Monitoring
- Optical/Displacement Monitoring
Depending on the type of project filing, building location, and surrounding area in New York City, the existing condition surveying and monitoring must be completed prior to construction and must comply with TPPN 10/88 Technical Policy.
The Technical Policy and Procedure Notice # 10/88 (TPPN 10/88) of the New York City Department of Buildings (NYCDOB) requires surveying and monitoring of all landmark buildings located on a 90' radius of a job site in New York City. Vibration Monitoring Equipment and Existing Conditions Photographic Surveys are the steps and procedures needed to take when it comes to complying with this strict construction code.
Initial construction phases, primarily demolition and foundation work, are known to create and emit vibration shocks that affect nearby structures. Landmark buildings, due to their years of existence, might be significantly affected. As a result, building vibration, optical, and crack must be monitored.
Vibration Monitoring may be used for construction activities and/or scenarios including Wireless Vibration Monitoring or Manned Vibration Monitoring:
- Construction
- Excavation
- Demolition
- Dynamic Compaction
- Pile Driving
Monitoring is provided to ensure that no negative effects are caused by the construction process. Vibration and Displacement Monitoring are critical when performing underpinning activities, site excavation, or other soil work as part of foundation construction and design. Data analysis and evaluation are performed immediately following data collection in order to calculate displacements. The project team is notified immediately of any exceedance outside the predetermined limits. Ultimately, AUDX-NY provides the client and the project team with the information necessary to conduct the project work in a safe, efficient, and cost-effective manner with minimized impacts to neighboring properties.
