  • Noise Control Design: partitions, floor/ceiling systems, privacy & isolation
  • Test & Measurement: environmental studies, permitting support, compliance testing
  • Mechanical Systems: machinery selection & layout, vibration isolation, HVAC noise and vibration control
  • Environmental Noise: 3-D computer-based emissions modeling
  • Transportation Impact: testing and modeling noise & vibration impact of road, rail and aircraft systems
  • Structural Dynamics: structural vibration design and finite element vibration & acoustical modeling
  • Construction Noise & Vibration Monitoring: real-time remote monitoring, exceedance alerts, regulatory compliance

A WORD FROM COMPANY FOUNDER

I founded Vibro-Acoustic Consultants in 2000 with a unique perspective and vision. I entered the industry as a structural dynamics engineer designing nuclear power plants for 8 years working on AISC, ACI, and ASME code jurisdictions systems and components and was fortunate to work on complex dynamics problems.

Looking back, I am proud to say that our company has brought a unique problem solving approach to vibration and acoustic problems. We have solved complex one-of-a-kind problems and have brought value-added design solutions that often has resulted in saving costs for our projects. We are equally qualified and experienced to solve difficult vibration (at macro, micro, and Nano levels) and acoustic problems.

CERTIFICATIONS

Vibro-Acoustic Consultants holds a number of local and national certifications and licenses.

We are certified as LBE/MBE (Local Business Enterprise / Minority Business Enterprise) by the San Francisco CMD (Certificate #CMD011814325) and are in the City’s procurements system as Vendor #61644.

We are also certified as SBE/micro-small (Small Business Enterprise) by the California OSDS (SBA#1216481).

Unlike some consultancies, we perform all work in-house. We do not subcontract out any work (such as environmental testing); therefore 100% of our budget is applicable toward LBE/MBE/SBE goals.
