clients & projects

CTLGroup was approached by a major state university medical research campus to examine the long-term effects of construction noise and vibrations on research buildings on the campus.  The noise and vibration effects, it was worried, might have a negative impact on the test specimens (animals) within the facilities, potentially causing disturbance on the research being conducted.  To be quite direct, concerns were raised that the mice might not reproduce at their usual rates.  Our consultants were brought in to determine if the vibrations were to blame.

CTLGroup designed and installed a custom noise and vibration monitoring system.  CTLGroup also worked with a clinical specialist to develop and alert system that constantly checks the noise and vibration levels and automatically responds to designated individuals if levels exceed threshold criteria.  The sensor systems are all developed in-house via CTLGroup's structural diagnostics and monitoring group.

Using a collaborative approach, our consultants were able to provide solutions to the university.
