Ground-borne vibration can be produced by a great variety of common construction activities including (among others) caisson drilling, pile driving, and soil compaction. Such vibration produced at a construction site has the potential, in the worst case, to damage buildings or structures outside the limits of the construction site or to create annoyance or nuisance in nearby buildings.

In 2008, the City of Toronto enacted their "Construction Vibration" By-Law (514-2008).  Since then, Valcoustics has worked on countless construction vibration projects, helping clients navigate the application process and quickly and efficiently meet the requirements of this new legislation.  Typical projects of this nature include the following:

Valcoustics has also completed many construction vibration projects beyond the boundaries of the City of Toronto for clients who are concerned for the well-being of neighbouring structures and are keen to mitigate risk.
