About Travelers ZoneCheck

Identify potential equipment-generated ground vibration risks with ZoneCheck, our proprietary smartphone app for contractors. The first of its kind, the tool takes the guesswork out of preconstruction. Using industry-recognized ground vibration data, ZoneCheck estimates—in real time—the potential reach and impact to nearby areas and structures. In just a few clicks, gather valuable insights to guide the radius of preconstruction surveys, assess risk, mitigate exposures, and protect against the threat of litigation. ZoneCheck can be a competitive advantage, especially in heavily settled and historic areas, where the stakes for alleged damage can be higher.

Key Product Features

Leveraging the science behind vibration damage, ZoneCheck can help avoid costly vibration damage, potential insurance claims, construction losses, and project interruptions:

• Generate an assessment that predicts the severity and distance of vibration transmissions and an aerial image of the site that indicates potentially impacted structures and nearby areas, using variables like equipment type and soil conditions
• Gather insights to inform the scale and scope of preconstruction surveys and appropriate inspection documentation to enable comparisons in the event of alleged damage
• Evaluate safeguards to protect vulnerable impact zones, such as measuring peak particle velocities during pile driving, compaction, earth moving, and other activities
• Create and share custom preconstruction project surveys in real time, either on the jobsite or from the office
• Quickly deploy investigative resources in the event of alleged vibration damage with the support of a specialized claims team
