Minimising metro induced ground borne vibration for new homes Xi Engineering Consultants combined on site vibration measurement and numerical modelling to design an anti vibration trench for a residential development beside the Newcastle Metro, helping the project secure planning permission without redesigning the building structure. The Challenge Designers of residential and commercial buildings must consider…
Reviewing a prototype medical pressure pump, Xi identified the main noise and vibration sources and set out a clear development strategy to make the device quieter and more comfortable for patients.
For a new pathology unit beside a busy road, Xi quantified ground borne vibration and compared it with limits for sensitive equipment, allowing the hospital to proceed with confidence in its microscope performance.
Xi Engineering Consultants has developed a safe on tower measurement system that captures high quality noise and vibration data from modern wind turbines while engineers remain on the ground.
Xi Engineering Consultants carried out an expert noise and vibration review of a novel compressor, resolving current issues and uncovering hidden risks before launch.
Xi Engineering Consultants reviewed wind microclimate assessments for major urban developments, strengthening Environmental Statements so planning authorities could approve schemes with confidence.
Xi helped Reactec move from tool mounted sensors to a body worn personal vibration monitor.
Xi worked with Arrayjet to build solid mechanics and CFD models of their modular microdroplet dispensing system.
Xi Engineering Consultants combined on site vibration measurements and advanced simulation to design a mitigation strategy for a new residential building beside the Newcastle Metro line.
Xi Engineering Consultants evaluated the aerodynamic, structural and acoustic behaviour of a new solar shading louvre system to de risk performance and avoid costly redesign.
