Environmental monitoring from Survey Solutions
Site Eye is part of Survey Solutions, the UK’s largest engineering surveying group. Its environmental monitoring measures the impact of construction on the surrounding area, from new developments to existing commercial, retail, leisure and heritage buildings.
Construction sites must comply with Section 61 consents covering noise, dust and vibration. Monitoring shows compliance is being upheld, so remedial measures can be put in place quickly if a limit is breached, reducing the risk of site closure and legal penalties.
What they measure
- Air quality
- Dust and particulate matter
- Volatile organic compounds (VOCs)
- Peak and average noise levels
- Vibration from construction and demolition
- Impact on nearby buildings and infrastructure
With structural monitoring
Monitoring can be included in the specification alongside a structural monitoring programme, so one team covers movement and environmental impact.
Real-time sensors
Integrated noise, dust and vibration sensors give real-time readings, so concerns are picked up and addressed at the earliest opportunity.
What a monitoring programme gives you
- Regulatory compliance and reporting, helping to prevent site closures and penalties.
- Lower environmental impact, with the data needed to take the right remedial action.
- Better relationships with neighbours, by showing issues are measured and addressed.
Project example: Haverstock Hill. Survey Solutions used integrated noise, dust and vibration sensors on a demolition site near Chalk Farm, delivering real-time environmental monitoring. Read the project
