Noise and Vibration Management Ltd (NVM) services

Vibration control and isolation is a specialist area in which NVM has a proven track record gained through working on many diverse projects.

NVM offers a comprehensive service covering all topics relating to noise and acoustics.

Acoustics play a large part in the design of any new building. Ideally noise should be `planned out` at the design stage to avoid costly alterations post-construction. If however you are in this situation, NVM are able to identify acoustic problems in an existing building and provide recommendations for improvements.

Structural dynamics involves many activities from study to on-site testing. The performance of buildings of complex or unusual design for human occupation or special production processes must be considered in a number of ways. Machines must be supported on foundations of one type or another and, inevitably, there will be vibratory motion. There are limits to desirable or allowable vibration in all occupation and constructed situations. Computer models can be built and subjected to forces or motions so that performance may be predicted, or as an aid to solving problems.

Electromagnetic fields (EMF) can affect the performance of certain instruments, `tools` or machinery, in medical research, semi-conductor manufacturing (`wafer fabs`), pharmaceutical industry, etc. It can be critical to avoid siting such equipment in locations subject to strong magnetic fields. NVM are able to carry out site surveys to measure EMF conditions and provide guidance in this area.

We work in a very varied field, many of our projects are unique and our experience gained over the years provides an excellent knowledge base to continue solving problems in the future.
