Vibration monitoring is a specialized procedure for recording, analyzing, and qualifying vibration resulting from construction operations. Vibration monitoring specialists utilize a seismograph, an instrument that records vibrations in the earth, to examine the extent of vibrations from a contractor's construction procedure(s). The special specification for building condition survey was coupled with a new item to monitor vibrations from construction operations other than blasting. Designers previously used Special Notes which include the cost for vibration monitoring in other items of work.
