DID THE EARTH MOVE?

Well, no, not really.

Many residents lately have been wondering about the pronounced vibrations they — and our buildings — have been experiencing when heavy equipment at the construction site rumbles over from one location to another.

Brigil foreman Rhéal Duquette says not to worry. Board members and our property manager met with him onsite this week to discuss a number of issues.

When the question of vibrations arose, he assured us that they were simply due to the nature of the clay in much of our landscape around here. When frozen, this kind of earth transmits noise and vibration much more effectively (and dramatically) than otherwise.


Rhéal tells us that the rumbling we experience from time to time has no impact on our foundations or our structures. Which is certainly nice to know.
