Frequently asked questions

Answers for real facility challenges

Noise violations, vibration monitoring, sound studies, seismic restraint and facility fit-outs — here's how we approach the questions we hear most.

Noise Control & Compliance

Yes. We navigate NYC Noise Code Section 24-232 and NJAC 7:29 to resolve violations. We perform calibrated Octave Band Analysis to isolate your equipment from ambient street noise, providing the technical proof needed for your OATH hearing.

No. We offer off-hour and weekend testing to capture "worst-case" scenarios without halting your line. We can measure ambient noise levels (L90) when your plant is down and total sound levels (Leq) when active, ensuring we isolate the exact source.

A study is critical. You cannot soundproof effectively without one. Installing foam blindly often fails because it misses low-frequency vibration. We diagnose the transmission path first to save you money on materials.

Yes. Our reports are signed by qualified engineers and formatted specifically for regulatory review, including all necessary calibration certificates for our Class 1 Sound Level Meters.

Vibration Testing & Structural Integrity

Yes. We deploy automated seismographs strictly compliant with NYC TPPN 10/88 protocols. Our systems provide real-time alerts if vibration levels approach the historic 0.5 in/sec limit, allowing you to mitigate risk before structural damage occurs.

Yes. We conduct on-site Modal Analysis to determine the floor's natural frequency, then design isolated inertia bases that de-couple sensitive equipment from the building structure — ensuring stable operation and high production yields.

Analysis is a diagnostic tool used to identify specific equipment failures, such as bearing faults. Monitoring is a compliance measure used to track vibration levels continuously over weeks during construction or demolition activities.

Facility Design & Project Management

Yes. We provide a turnkey solution covering equipment layout, utility load calculations, and vendor coordination. We identify design "clashes" early in the CAD phase to prevent expensive change orders during construction.

Yes. We analyze your Process Flow to eliminate bottlenecks and wasted motion. By scientifically re-orienting work cells, we can often recover 15–20% of floor space and increase throughput without physically expanding the building.

Yes. We engineer all anchorage and sway bracing to meet strict IBC (International Building Code) seismic requirements. This ensures your mechanical systems are compliant and you pass the final building inspection on the first attempt.
