Crews will be using specialized equipment during pipeline construction of the South Hillsborough Pipeline that may cause brief, noticeable vibrations in your homes or businesses. This vibratory equipment generates ground vibrations that travel outward from the active work area and will naturally dissipate with distance.
Please be assured that all vibration levels will remain well below the safety limits established by the United States Bureau of Mines for residential and commercial structures.
To maintain compliance and protect surrounding properties, vibration monitors are in place near active work areas. These instruments continuously record vibration levels and send automated alerts to Seismic Surveys LLC and Garney Construction if readings approach allowable limits so adjustments can be made immediately.
Continuous monitoring provides accurate, objective data to confirm that construction activities remain within safe limits at all times.
For more information, please read the Vibration Advisory Letter on the project website, and if you have any questions, please contact the project team at SHPinfo@tampabaywater.org or call (813) 485-6480.
