Vibration Issues at The Rutland Hotel

The Rutland Hotel, a luxury boutique hotel located in the heart of Edinburgh, experienced unusual vibrations affecting its reception and restaurant areas. The hotel management sought the help of Xi Engineering Consultants for expert vibration measurement services in Edinburgh. Staff and patrons had reported intermittent vibrations at different levels of the building, and the source remained unclear, making it a structural concern that needed immediate attention.

Vibration Measurement and Structural Vibration Analysis Solution

Xi Engineering Consultants provided comprehensive vibration measurement services in Edinburgh, ruling out road traffic or tram vibrations as the cause. The vibration signals observed were stable and consistent, unlike the irregularity of traffic-related vibrations. Our team expanded the investigation to include potential sources from nearby mechanical systems. Through vibration monitoring, we identified two separate sources of vibration, each affecting different areas of the building. Both the reception and restaurant areas experienced unrelated vibration issues stemming from different equipment faults.
