Which services does my site need?
Start with your work activities, nearby receptors and any project documents. We can review the brief across noise, vibration, air quality and structural movement, then recommend appropriate monitoring equipment and coverage.
Do we need baseline monitoring?
It depends on the project and its requirements. Where an existing-condition record is needed, allow time to collect it before the relevant works begin. The duration and locations should be agreed during scoping.
Can you support local authority requirements and Section 61 applications?
Yes. We can review the relevant conditions or application requirements and help define the noise, vibration and dust monitoring arrangements. Share any existing documentation so the scope, reporting and responsibilities can be agreed around your project.
How are trigger levels decided?
Criteria should follow the project requirements and the assessment of the setting. The parameter, averaging period, monitoring position and action expected all matter; a single generic threshold is not suitable for every purpose.
Will monitoring guarantee compliance?
Monitoring provides evidence to support management decisions. Meeting project requirements also depends on the work methods, mitigation, responsibilities and response to results.
Can monitoring support a dispute or party wall investigation?
Yes. We can agree a targeted monitoring and reporting scope with you and the relevant surveyors, engineers or legal advisers. Discuss the intended use of the findings with us at the outset so the investigation addresses the questions and evidence required.
What if an alert is caused by something outside our works?
Review the event time, other monitoring positions and the activity record before attributing the source. Tell us what level of professional review you need included.
Can you work with limited power or connectivity?
Tell us about access, available power and communications during scoping. We can assess suitable arrangements, including off-grid power where required, and explain the proposed configuration and any limitations.
What if our programme or monitoring requirements change?
We adapt monitoring to your site’s needs and risk profile. Sensor numbers, monitoring positions and coverage can increase or reduce as work progresses. Our team will discuss the changes with you and coordinate any equipment relocations, additions or removals.
Am I tied into a fixed-term monitoring contract?
No. We provide monitoring on a rolling weekly rate, so you can use the service for as long or as short a period as you need. If site control changes, your programme moves or monitoring requirements develop, we work with you to extend, adjust or end the service and arrange equipment removal when it is no longer required.
