Physical vibrations from transport or industrial activity can damage buildings by cracking foundations, walls, or windows, leading to costly repairs. The CIPS L3M6 module notes this as an environmental and economic concern in supply chains—e.g., a warehouse near a busy rail line might face structural fatigue over time. Mitigation (e.g., dampening systems) adds expense, reinforcing the statement’s truth. LO2 emphasizes minimizing such impacts to balance sustainability and cost.
