MONITORING

ENVIROMENTAL MONITORING

Environmental monitoring involves the systematic observation and analysis of the impact caused by construction activities. This includes monitoring air quality, dust emissions, noise and vibration levels, and the effect caused on the local environment. These services support various project sectors from the build of new developments through to measuring the impact caused by existing buildings including commercial, retail, leisure and heritage.

The effects of Noise, Dust and Vibration on the environment

Air Quality: Construction sites can generate air pollution, including dust, particulate matter, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Measuring the levels of these pollutants ensure they are within safe limits protects the health of workers and the community, as well as prevent legal penalties.

Vibration: Construction and demolition activities can produce high levels of vibration which can have an adverse effect on nearby buildings and infrastructure. Measuring vibration levels ensure they remain within set parameters.

Noise: Noise from construction works can be dangerous and disruptive both on site and to the surrounding community. Measuring the peak and average levels of noise ensures they remain within their designated limits.

What are the benefits of Environmental Monitoring?

Measuring noise, dust and vibration as part of environmental monitoring is mitigates risk of site closure while supporting the safety and well-being of the community. Other benefits include:

Compliance: Construction sites must adhere to Section 61 regulations which involve Noise, dust and vibration (NDV). Environmental monitoring programmes can ensure compliance is being upheld, and remedial measures can be quickly implemented if any breaches were to occur to prevent legal penalties.

Efficiency: Identifying and addressing concerns at the earliest opportunity saves significant costs associated with repairs and downtime, whilst maintaining the customers reputation.

Planning: Construction sites can be a source of frustration and concern for nearby residents. By monitoring the environment using a range of sensors and taking steps to address any issues that arise, construction companies can help build positive relationships with the community.

Our Environmental Monitoring programmes deliver…

  • Regulatory compliance and reporting: Make sure compliance is upheld, preventing site closures and legal penalties.
  • Reduce environmental impact: Reporting on negative environmental impacts of construction activities to allow for correct remedial action.
  • Sustainable project management: Supporting the development of sustainable construction projects that are considerate of their ecological footprint.

We can support your project with a range of environmental monitoring services where the scope of the project can extend to monitoring impacts such as noise, dust and vibration. This can be included within the specification alongside a structural monitoring programme or as a bespoke package of work.

We can work with you from an early stage to see how our full range of monitoring services can be combined into one customised package of work to meet your project

Monitoring Services

Structural Health Monitoring

Our monitoring surveyors record and measure the movement or deformation of a building or structure across a broad range of projects. From new build developments through to historic and heritage landmarks, a monitoring scheme can help identify any potential issues within a structure and allow a plan of remediation to be established before further problems develop.

Asset Condition Surveys

Asset condition surveys are an ideal solution for assessing the impact of major infrastructure and construction projects on the wider built environment. They can help establish whether there has been any consequential damage to neighbouring buildings or structures during the work by carrying out pre- and post-construction surveys.
