SVANTEK Academy

The Svantek Academy is an educational platform created by Svantek to provide expert training, technical knowledge, and best practices in the field of sound and vibration measurement. It serves as a knowledge resource for professionals working in environmental monitoring, occupational safety, building acoustics, and related disciplines throughout the United Kingdom.

Noise measurements

World-class experts in the field of sound and vibration measurements explain everything professionals need to know about noise monitoring. One of the most important aspects of sound measurement is understanding that it involves the transmission of energy through vibrating air particles, which is a form of vibration. As a result, noise measurements focus on changes in local air pressure caused by noise energy.

Vibration measurements

Vibration measurements are often the only reliable method to detect and prevent damage to structures, machinery, or even human health. Understanding the different indicators used in vibration monitoring is complex but essential to comprehend how RMS and PEAK values are calculated from distinct vibrational velocity and acceleration signals.

Environmental effects

Noise and vibration emissions can have a significant impact on natural ecosystems and human environments, affecting health, behaviour, and structural integrity. These effects are often interconnected and cumulative, particularly across urban and industrial areas in the United Kingdom. Effective monitoring and mitigation are essential for maintaining environmental health, ensuring structural safety, and meeting UK regulatory standards.

Knowledge Base

The Svantek Academy serves as a knowledge base — combining a structured learning environment with a technical information hub for professionals involved in sound and vibration monitoring across the United Kingdom.

Instrument configuration and operation

Step-by-step training on how to set up and operate Svantek devices (e.g., SV 307A, SV 803), including calibration, sensor orientation, and environmental adaptations for accurate field measurements under British environmental conditions.

Standards and compliance interpretation

Guidance on key international and UK national regulations such as DIN 4150-3, BS 7385-2, PN-B-02170:2016-12, ISO 1996, and others, including practical advice on applying them in real-world monitoring scenarios across the UK.

Data acquisition and signal analysis

In-depth instruction on capturing and interpreting time-domain signals, frequency spectra, FFT analysis, and 1/3 octave band data for noise and vibration assessments, aligned with British monitoring standards.

Use of SvanNET and PC software

Training on remote access, real-time monitoring, cloud integration, and detailed data analysis using Svantek’s proprietary platforms and analysis tools, tailored to meet the needs of UK professionals.

Project-specific measurement techniques

Application-focused tutorials on monitoring in construction zones, airports, railways, or urban centres, with methods adapted to the unique noise and vibration profiles typically found in the UK.

Troubleshooting and maintenance

Best practices for diagnosing measurement anomalies, performing firmware updates, managing sensor drift, and ensuring long-term instrument reliability through routine servicing — essential for UK compliance and operational efficiency.

Integration with environmental systems

Techniques for linking Svantek devices with meteorological stations, dust monitors, or smart city infrastructure to support multidisciplinary environmental monitoring initiatives throughout the United Kingdom.

Reporting and visualization

Guidance on generating clear, standards-compliant reports, using visual tools to present measurement results, threshold exceedances, and compliance summaries for stakeholders — fully aligned with UK regulatory expectations.

The Svantek Academy addresses core principles, regulatory frameworks, measurement methodologies, and data interpretation relevant to a wide range of professionals in environmental acoustics, occupational health, building vibration, and urban noise management — regardless of the equipment brand they use, with a particular focus on UK standards and practices.
