A new clean room facility is in progress at the Division of Solid State Physics / Nanometer Consortium (FTF) at Lund University. On site measurement from road excitation at a speed bump located at a distance of 25 m from the site and from main roads situated at a few hundred meters distance revealed high vibration levels. A complicating matter was found in high lateral vibration levels at the 2 Hz to 3 Hz range. Various set ups using piling and dig out were investigated and found not to improve
