MONITORING

ENVIROMENTAL MONITORING

Environmental monitoring during the construction phase involves the systematic observation and analysis of the environmental impact caused by construction activities. This includes monitoring air and water quality, noise levels, dust emissions, and the impact on local flora and fauna.

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.

These services are relevant for a range of building types and project sectors, from new build residential developments through to the impact on existing buildings including commercial, retail, leisure and heritage. 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 specifications and ensure you have full peace of mind throughout the construction process and beyond.

Our environmental monitoring programmes deliver three clear benefits…

  • Minimisation of environmental impact – helping identify and reduce negative environmental impacts of construction activities, promoting eco-friendly practices.
  • Regulatory compliance and reporting – ensuring compliance to environmental laws and regulations, preventing legal issues and fines.
  • Sustainable project management – supporting the development of sustainable construction projects that are considerate of their ecological footprint.


Environmental monitoring is essential for ensuring the safety and well-being of the community as well as those working on the construction site. Air quality sensors, vibration, and noise sensors are some of the key tools used for monitoring the environment.

Implementing an environmental monitoring programme of works can deliver a range of benefits including…

Air Quality: Construction sites can generate air pollution, including dust, particulate matter, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Air quality sensors can be used to measure the levels of these pollutants and ensure they are within safe limits. This helps protect the health of workers and the community, as well as prevent legal penalties for non-compliance with air quality regulations.

Vibration: Construction and demolition activities can lead to high levels of vibration, which can damage nearby buildings and infrastructure. Sensors can be used to measure the levels of vibration to ensure they remain within set parameters.

Noise: Noise from construction works can be dangerous and disruptive both on site and to the surrounding community. Sensors can be used to measure the peak and average levels of noise to ensure they are within the designated limits.

Compliance: Construction sites are subject to a wide range of regulations regarding air quality, vibration, and noise. Utilising remote sensing techniques, environmental monitoring can help ensure compliance with these regulations. This helps prevent legal penalties, as well as protect the health and well-being of workers and the community.

Cost Savings: By monitoring the environmental factors, it is possible to identify and address issues before they become major problems. This can help save significant costs associated with repairs and downtime, whilst maintaining the customers reputation.

Community: 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.

Environmental, Social & Governance Benefits

  • Environmental: Directly contributes to the preservation and protection of the local ecosystem during construction.
  • Social: Demonstrates a commitment to community health and safety by actively managing and reducing construction-related environmental hazards.
  • Governance: Provides documented evidence of environmental performance, essential for fulfilling governance responsibilities and stakeholder expectations.

Monitoring Services

Structural 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.
