Real-time data to protect adjacent structures and manage risk during excavation
D.W. Kozera, Inc. provides vibration and instrumentation monitoring services tailored to Support of Excavation (SOE) operations in dense, urban, or sensitive environments. Excavation activities such as pile driving, drilling, or bracing installation can pose risk to nearby buildings, utilities, and infrastructure. Our monitoring programs help track movement, vibration, and structural response during SOE installation giving project teams the data they need to manage risk and maintain compliance.
By combining targeted instrumentation with automated alerts and on-site coordination, we help contractors and engineers respond in real time to changing site conditions. Our approach supports excavation safety, protects adjacent structures, and satisfies permitting and inspection requirements across a wide range of project types.

Why Work with D.W. Kozera?
- Specialized Monitoring for SOE Impacts
We tailor our instrumentation to match the excavation support system, soil behavior, and proximity of at-risk structures. - Real-Time Alerts with Field Coordination
Our team works on-site and remotely to monitor data in real time—helping crews respond immediately when movement or vibration exceeds project limits. - Trusted Experience in Sensitive Urban Excavations
From transit stations to hospital expansions, we’ve supported critical SOE work where structural protection is non-negotiable.
When excavation work gets close, monitoring becomes essential. Contact D.W. Kozera to implement a vibration and instrumentation plan that protects adjacent structures and supports your SOE operations from start to finish.
