As African cities grow denser, urban construction often happens next to sensitive heritage buildings, residential homes, or transport infrastructure. Contractors need to demonstrate that their activities—particularly piling, demolition, or compaction—do not exceed vibration thresholds.

Enter the Omnidots SWARM vibration monitoring system, now distributed in Southern Africa by Sub8Tech. Compact, connected, and cloud-based, SWARM devices are quick to install and deliver real-time vibration data directly to engineers and stakeholders.

From downtown Johannesburg to Cape Town’s port expansions, these systems ensure compliance with local vibration standards and help avoid costly disputes or structural damage claims.

Using wireless devices also eliminates the need for permanent infrastructure—ideal for fast-paced, mobile projects. For project managers and site engineers, that means less time setting up and more time focusing on the build.
