Abstract
Due to planned renovations for an important Broadcasting studio in Vienna, Austria, vibration monitoring was proposed in the adjacent technical server rooms due to the particularly sensitive requirements. Since the importance played by this Corporation as one of the largest media provider in the country, it must be continuously operational and must respect the latest vibration standards.
To assess ambient vibrations, a first measurement was carried out on February 18, 2019 in the affected areas of the building. This included an assessment of the ambient and random vibrations. Moreover, a short-term measurement was carried out during test construction works to analyze the excited frequencies in the server rooms.
Thus, relevant vibration events were measured and evaluated. The determined impacts were compared with the protection goals from relevant national and international standards and guidelines to give a recommendation on limiting the impacts for the future construction phase. Based on the analysis of various norms, a proper set of limits was developed, tailored to this case, and was finally applied.
Then, a permanent monitoring system was installed with a set of alarms in real-time to warn and take measures in case thresholds are exceeded. Results are here also presented.
