Environmental Monitoring

Environmental Monitoring

Instruct Compliance 4 Buildings for Environmental Monitoring
Environmental Monitoring

Environmental monitoring is a general term for the measurement and analysis of environmental conditions on or around a construction site. The role of Environmental Monitoring is to reduce the environmental impact of a development on an area and prevent a nuisance to residents and business. In most cases, Environmental monitoring generally refers to Noise, Vibration and Dust (NVD). On certain construction site the term may be broadened to include additional monitoring modalities. Environmental Monitoring is highly advised for construction activities including excavations, demolition and pile driving.

Five principle reasons motivate sites to undertake Environmental Monitoring:

1.      Compliance with planning conditions

2.      Resolution of complaints from local businesses and residents

3.      Protection against claims

4.      Environmental protection in local area

5.      As a resolution to enforcement procedures

The requirements for environmental monitoring are increasingly mandated by an Environmental Health Officer for a Local Authority as part of permits. Following discussion, a project-specific and cost-effective solution that enables your site to comply with all relevant legislation and planning conditions is produced. On some occasions, a site may be required to conduct Environmental Monitoring due a legal obligation following complaints as part of a Section 60 or 61 order. Our programmes of site education coupled with monitoring are part of a holistic programme to mitigate risk and avoid costly programme delays due to local enforcement actions.

Responsible contractors and businesses have adopted Environmental Monitoring as part of their best practice arrangements to preserve the local environment and reduce the impact of construction to residents and businesses. Many of the major causes of complaints on construction sites are related to noise, vibration, and dust (NVD) from onsite operations during building works.

When Compliance 4 Buildings is instructed to provide Environmental Monitoring real time data is provided with 24-hour alert systems via SMS and Email when trigger levels have been exceeded. Access to systems is provided to Clients with predictive data to prevent exceedances. All our environmental solutions are designed for long term use on site but can also be deployed for short monitoring projects.

Monitoring data is instantly accessible to view online by our Clients on a screen in a Site Office, on a computer, tablet, or even a mobile phone. Compliance 4 Buildings keep a Site informed in real time to remain compliant with regulations.

Noise Monitoring

The Control of Pollution Act (1974) identified noise as a type of pollution with the World Health Organisation identifying the impact to health of those who are affected. The impact of noise can refer to residents and commercial premises that are situated nearby. A construction site contains multiple noise sources, the implications that may result from elevated levels and types of sources needs to be considered in many circumstances. The implantation of monitoring instrumentation before and during construction works provides assurances should disputes relating to nuisance and damages claims occurring.

Compliance 4 Buildings Ltd facilitate the provision of site noise monitoring through close ties with other consultancies to ensure compliance with Regulatory Authority requirements or specified criteria such as BS5228.

Vibration Monitoring

Vibration Monitoring on construction sites is the measurement and analysis of ground-borne vibration levels. Measurement is undertaken before work commences (to establish baseline and background vibration levels). Ongoing Vibration Monitoring can help to protect buildings and local infrastructure from potential damage that could be caused during demolition or construction works.

Local authorities and construction partners often specify a requirement for vibration monitoring to protect the neighbouring environment from possible damage. Compliance 4 Buildings provide continuous long-term vibration monitoring solutions using fully automated equipment with SMS and Email alert triggering functions to maintain real time response.

Dust Monitoring

Dust monitoring on construction sites is the measurement and analysis of dust levels both on and around a work site. Overexposure to dust in the air is known to be the cause of serious health problems. An Environmental Health Officer from a Local Authority will often specify a requirement to monitor the dust levels on and around a construction site. The control of dust is vital to protecting employees and neighbouring residents.

Compliance 4 Buildings utilise advanced equipment to monitor the levels of dust generation during demolition and construction phases of projects. Automatic SMS and Email alerts are generated if pre-defined dust limits are exceeded, allowing site operators to take immediate corrective actions.

Equipment and Education

Unsurprisingly the equipment utilised for Environmental Services is highly specialised and requires regular and consistent testing to maintain accuracy. Several sites have opted for a beacon to be added to our intuitive systems to allow the deployment of a visual and audible traffic light system to work areas. Educational talks can be arranged by Compliance 4 Buildings to aid worker and contractor compliance. By working as a team, we achieve high standards of compliance and a low level of resident and business site complaints.

The scope of Environmental Monitoring can vary from one project to another. Compliance 4 Buildings will review all requirements and create an individual proposal. To receive a proposal and quote please contact Compliance 4 Buildings directly via our page or on 0203 556 2407.
