Clear data. Expert support.
From demolition dust to indoor air quality, our expert team helps you understand potential impacts, establish what needs to be measured and use the findings to support informed decisions.
KP Monitoring provides air quality assessments alongside short-term and ongoing monitoring for construction projects, industrial settings and occupied buildings. Whether you need an assessment to support a planning application, monitoring during works or an investigation into existing conditions, we tailor the scope to your site’s activities, sensitive locations and project requirements.
Where monitoring is required, we agree the pollutants, equipment, reporting and alert arrangements, giving your team a clear approach from initial assessment through to ongoing review.
Understand potential air quality impacts and identify the assessment, monitoring and management measures your project needs.
Access received readings online and configure notifications to help your team investigate changes and review site controls.
Bring monitoring data together with activity logs, weather information and specialist reporting where required.
Monitoring services
Monitor airborne particulate concentrations around demolition, earthworks, construction and vehicle activity. We agree suitable positions and criteria around nearby receptors, the work programme and relevant project requirements.
Coverage can be reviewed as activities move across the site or the risk profile changes.
Measure particulate concentrations using equipment selected for the application. Where MCERTS-certified monitoring is specified, we confirm the appropriate instrument and the certification scope for the required particulate fraction.
We agree measurement periods, data review and reporting around the intended use of the results.
Monitor selected gases and volatile organic compounds where these are relevant to the site or investigation. We review the substances of interest, expected conditions and required measurement performance before specifying equipment.
Gas and VOC monitoring is scoped to the application, with the capabilities and limitations of the selected method explained.
Build a clearer picture of conditions in offices, commercial spaces and other occupied buildings. Monitoring can include carbon dioxide, particulate matter, selected VOCs, temperature and relative humidity.
The scope is agreed around building use, occupancy, ventilation questions and the concerns being investigated.
Requirements & investigations
Our team takes the time to understand why you need air quality information, so the assessment and monitoring address your project’s requirements and the decisions you need to make.
Review planning conditions, dust management plans and monitoring specifications. We help define the assessment needed and agree relevant pollutants, positions, criteria and reporting arrangements for your site.
Establish monitoring before the relevant activities where required, then follow conditions during the works. Use the record to help investigate events and review dust-control measures.
Scope targeted monitoring to investigate reported air quality concerns. We consider event timing, nearby activities and the wider setting when reviewing the available evidence.
Understand how measured conditions change with occupancy, building operation and ventilation. Agree the parameters and review needed to support your facilities team’s investigation.
Measurements that matter
Different pollutants and monitoring methods answer different questions. We confirm what the proposed equipment measures and how the results should be used.
Assessment & monitoring
An assessment helps define potential impacts and the controls required. Monitoring provides a record of measured conditions at the agreed locations. Our team can provide either service or coordinate both around your project.
Discuss the assessment required for your planning submission, development or investigation. We agree the scope around the project, local setting and information needed by the relevant stakeholders.
Translate the relevant assessment findings and project requirements into monitoring positions, measurement methods, reporting and response arrangements during the works.
Send any existing air quality assessment, planning conditions or dust management plan with your enquiry so we can respond to the required scope.
Online access & reporting
KPM Monitoring provides secure online access to received readings, with configured alerts and reporting to help your team follow conditions and investigate events.
View the parameters and time periods relevant to your site, with access arranged for the people who need to use the record.
Agree trigger criteria and recipients so notifications reach the people responsible for investigating and reviewing site controls.
Agree weekly, monthly or project-specific reporting, with professional data review and interpretation included at the level your project needs.
Measurement frequency and data transmission are different settings. Online updates and notification timing depend on equipment configuration and connectivity. We confirm these arrangements during scoping.
Our approach
Our expert team reviews your site, activities, programme and relevant documents. We discuss the potential impacts, sensitive locations and questions your assessment or monitoring needs to address.
Confirm the assessment requirements and any monitoring equipment, positions, measurement settings, criteria, reporting and responsibilities. Review access, power and communications before installation.
Complete the assessment and reporting within the agreed scope. Where monitoring is required, install and commission the equipment, establish platform access and configure the notification arrangements.
For ongoing monitoring, service the equipment, manage calibration and performance-check requirements, and provide the agreed data review and reporting. Adapt coverage as site needs and risk profiles change.
People & practical arrangements

Connect noise, vibration and dust assessments with practical site controls, monitoring and response arrangements.
Practical questions
Yes. Share the site details, development proposals and any requirements from the local authority. Our team will review the information and agree an assessment scope suited to the application and its setting.
That depends on the activities, nearby sensitive locations and project requirements. We review your brief and any relevant assessments or conditions before recommending particulate, gas or indoor air quality measurements.
Yes. Where MCERTS-certified equipment is required, we confirm a suitable instrument and its certification scope for the proposed application. The required particulate fraction, measurement method and project specification are checked during scoping.
Where an existing-condition record is required, allow time to monitor before the relevant works begin. The duration, pollutants and locations are agreed around the project requirements and purpose of the record.
There is no single number suitable for every site. We consider the layout, work phases, nearby receptors, likely emission sources and any specified positions before agreeing the monitoring coverage.
We review the project documents, monitoring objectives, pollutants and measurement periods. Alert settings should reflect the agreed requirements and response arrangements for your site.
The responsible team investigates the event, reviews the activities taking place and follows the agreed response procedure. Monitoring results can be considered alongside weather and activity records, with specialist review provided where included in your scope.
No. A recorded increase needs to be reviewed in context. Other sources, weather conditions, nearby activities and readings from other positions may be relevant when investigating the cause.
No. An assessment considers the potential impacts and requirements of a project, while monitoring records measured conditions at specified locations. Depending on your brief, you may need either service or a coordinated combination of both.
Yes. We can scope indoor monitoring for parameters such as CO₂, particulate matter, selected VOCs, temperature and relative humidity. Tell us about the building, occupancy and concerns so we can recommend appropriate measurements.
Monitoring provides evidence to support management decisions. Meeting project requirements also depends on the activities, controls, responsibilities and response to the findings.
No. Monitoring is provided on a rolling weekly rate, so you can use the service for as long or as short a period as you need. We work with you to adjust coverage, extend the service or arrange removal when monitoring is no longer required.
