Noise & Vibration Consulting for Sensitive Research and Medical Facilities

Research laboratories and medical imaging facilities have some of the most demanding noise and vibration requirements of any building type. Mainwave brings specialist expertise in predicting, monitoring and mitigating the impact of noise and vibration on sensitive equipment and laboratory activities — including MRI and CT scanners, electron microscopes, and precision research instrumentation.

Medical imaging equipment and high-precision laboratory systems typically require heavy-weight vibration isolation slabs to achieve sufficient attenuation from surrounding sources such as footfall, mechanical plant, road and rail traffic, and nearby construction activity — all of which are common considerations on constrained urban sites in Melbourne and across Victoria.

What Mainwave Provides

Mainwave assists with site feasibility assessments, selection of appropriate noise and vibration criteria for specific equipment types and laboratory activities, isolation slab design input, and specialist monitoring equipment with real-time SMS alert systems to protect sensitive equipment during nearby construction works.
