Syscom Rock vibration monitor put through its paces

At Campbell Associates, we are committed to providing the UK’s construction, demolition & acoustic industries with the most advanced and reliable environmental monitoring solutions. That’s why we were thrilled to showcase the power of our new Syscom Rock Vibration Monitor at the recent Institute of Acoustics meeting on “Measurement, Prediction and Assessment of Ground Borne Vibration.”

We seized the opportunity to put the Syscom Rock through its paces in a live, practical demonstration, highlighting its exceptional capabilities in real-world scenarios.

Putting the Rock to Work: A Live Demonstration

The practical session involved meticulously testing the vibration emitted by Geomatrix Ltd’s innovative system – a device renowned for assessing ground stiffness by emitting a precise sweep of frequencies (5Hz to 300Hz). This is crucial for understanding how vibration propagates, especially in complex urban areas where drilling, piling, and demolition are needed near sensitive structures.

Our new Syscom Rock monitor was strategically placed just 10 meters from the vibration source, alongside other leading systems, to meticulously measure ground-borne vibration across multiple cycles.

Real-Time Data, Real-World Insights with Sonitus Cloud

One of the Syscom Rock’s standout features is its seamless integration with the Syscom Cloud platform. As vibrations were generated, data was transferred in real-time, allowing us to immediately visualise critical insights. We demonstrated how background vibration levels were instantly displayed in X, Y, and Z directions, with clear indications of peak levels as the vibration source was activated and then scaled down.

The detailed signal files instantly revealed nuanced behaviours, such as the X and Y directions peaking earlier at a 30Hz frequency, indicating an observed decoupling effect of the machine. The Z direction, by contrast, peaked at 50Hz. This level of precise, real-time data empowers our clients to truly understand vibration propagation and make informed, proactive decisions on site.

Engineered for Efficiency: Solar Power & Single-Button Simplicity

Decision-makers in construction and demolition demand reliability and ease of use. The Syscom Rock delivers:

• Exceptional Power Efficiency: Powered by a compact, integrated solar panel, the Rock ensures continuous monitoring with minimal power consumption, even in remote locations.
• Effortless Setup: Its intuitive design means simple, single-button operation to initiate measurements, getting you up and running quickly with minimal training.
