Construction sites are busy places with a lot happening at once. Activities like demolition, excavation, and heavy machinery operation can create noise, dust, and vibrations. These factors can affect the environment, nearby communities, and the health of workers. Monitoring and managing them is essential to minimize negative impacts. Noise on Construction Sites Sources of Noise: Machinery:  Equipment like excavators, drills, and jackhammers are loud. Vehicle Movements:  Trucks and other vehicles contribute to overall noise levels. Demolition and Piling:  Activities like breaking down structures or driving piles into the ground create high-intensity noise. Characteristics of Construction Noise: Intermittent:  Noise levels go up and down, with loud periods followed by quieter times. Impulsive:  Short bursts of loud sounds, such as hammering. High-Intensity:  Overall loudness can be very high, especially near active machinery. Impact of Noise: Community Disturbance:  Excessive noise can annoy residents and disrupt daily life. Health Effects:  Prolonged exposure can lead to hearing loss or stress for workers and nearby people. Managing Noise: Use Quieter Equipment:  Choose machines designed to produce less noise. Regular Maintenance:  Well-maintained equipment operates more quietly. Modify Equipment:  Add silencers or acoustic enclosures to reduce noise output. Operational Practices:  Avoid unnecessary revving of engines and minimize drop heights when unloading materials. Barriers and Screens:  Erect fences or walls that block or absorb sound. Plan Work Hours:  Schedule noisy activities during times that are least disruptive to the community. Dust on Construction Sites Sources of Dust: Demolition:  Breaking down buildings releases dust particles. Earthworks:  Digging and moving soil can create dust clouds. Construction Activities:  Cutting, grinding, and mixing materials generate dust. Vehicle Movement:  Trucks driving over unpaved surfaces stir up dust. Types of Dust Impacts: Soiling:  Dust settles on surfaces, making them dirty. Health Risks:  Fine particles (like PM2.5 and PM10) can be inhaled, potentially causing respiratory issues. Environmental Effects:  Dust can harm plants and animals by covering leaves and contaminating habitats. Managing Dust: Site Planning:  Position dust-generating activities away from sensitive areas when possible. Dust Suppression:  Use water sprays or misting systems to keep dust from becoming airborne. Cover Materials:  Keep stockpiles of soil or sand covered to prevent wind from picking up dust. Wheel Washing:  Install stations where vehicles can have their wheels cleaned before leaving the site to prevent dust from spreading. Limit Vehicle Speeds:  Slower-moving vehicles kick up less dust. Regular Cleaning:  Keep site roads and access points clean to reduce dust buildup. Vibration on Construction Sites Sources of Vibration: Piling:  Driving piles into the ground causes ground vibrations. Demolition:  The force of structures collapsing can transmit vibrations. Heavy Machinery:  Equipment like bulldozers and compactors produce vibrations during operation. Effects of Vibration: Human Discomfort:  Vibrations can cause discomfort or annoyance to people nearby. Structural Damage:  High levels of vibration can damage buildings, especially older or fragile ones. Equipment Interference:  Vibrations can disrupt sensitive equipment in places like hospitals or labs. Managing Vibration: Choose Appropriate Methods:  Use construction techniques that produce less vibration, such as auger piling instead of impact piling.

Environmental concerns and evolving legislation are reshaping how European construction sites manage noise, dust, and vibration. Across the EU, continuous on-site monitoring is becoming vital to meet existing directives and anticipate future requirements. These developments point to a market demand for cutting-edge sensor-based solutions, such as Sensorbee, that can help construction companies remain compliant and protect public health. Under the Environmental Noise Directive Directive 2002/49/EC, Member States measure and map noise pollution, then develop action plans to reduce harmful exposure. While this directive focuses on broad noise management, some national regulations require on-site, continuous measurement when construction activities are likely to exceed certain decibel levels, often referencing EN 61672 for measurement accuracy. Dust is governed by the Ambient Air Quality Directive, which sets limits for particulate matter (PM10, PM2.5) in ambient air. Although not construction-specific, Member States often impose stricter controls on projects generating large amounts of dust, with real-time monitoring requirements informed by bodies like the European Environment Agency (EEA) and the Institute of Air Quality Management (IAQM). Vibration, though less visible, can threaten structural integrity and human comfort. Standards like ISO 4866:2010, DIN 4150 (Germany), and the SBR guidelines (Netherlands) define vibration thresholds; Directive 2002/44/EC also addresses worker health and safety, influencing on-site monitoring practices. Looking to the future, EU initiatives such as the European Green Deal and the Zero Pollution Action Plan suggest a move toward stricter, harmonized rules for noise, dust, and vibration. Although no single EU-wide regulation has yet emerged, there is a clear trend toward transparent, data-driven compliance. The UK, which has a history of stringent measures—evidenced by BS 5228, the Control of Pollution Act, and the Control of Dust and Emissions During Construction and Demolition SPG in London—often serves as a benchmark for evolving EU policy. For developers, contractors, and technology providers, real-time monitoring solutions are key to ensuring immediate detection of exceedances and quick corrective action. Solutions like Sensorbee integrate seamlessly into site operations, offering accurate measurement and instant reporting.

Hornsgatan in Stockholm has been known as the most polluted street in the Swedish capital for several years. In the spring of 2021 the Swedish National Road and Transport Research Institute, VTI , installed 12 of our Sensorbee Air Quality sensors around the crossing of Hornsgatan and Ringvägen. The reasons behind the high emissions on Hornsgatan are the heavy traffic and low dispersion of pollutants. During some days the street can be trafficked by as many as 23 000 vehicles which can have several negative effects on people's health as well as to the environment. In this study the aim was to look into how air quality can vary and change within very small areas, comparing the traffic crossing and straight road. Therefore the air quality units were placed very close to each other (20-40 meters). We wanted to measure the air pollution and particles with more sensors than we had done before. 12 sensors would give us great data. - Nina Svensson, Researcher Air quality, VTI The sensors used in the study were powered using solar panels, no other energy source needed. The air quality units were installed on portable posts and traffic signs around the crossing of Hornsgatan and Ringvägen. During two months, May - June in 2021, they were collecting data for the study. The data was then visualized with the software platform EdevaLive from Edeva , who was a partner in the project. We couldn't see any large differences between the crossing and the straight road, but we did find out that the particle levels sometimes varied between the north and south side of the road. - Nina Svensson, Researcher Air quality, VTI The sensor model used in the study was Sensorbee Air Quality sensors .

Smart City In today’s industrial landscapes and smart city networks, precision in air quality monitoring isn’t just a luxury—it’s a necessity. From detecting toxic leaks in chemical plants to ensuring compliance with stringent emissions regulations, the ability to track gases like nitrogen dioxide (NO₂), sulfur dioxide (SO₂), carbon monoxide (CO), and ozone (O₃) at ultra-low concentrations is critical for safety, operational efficiency, and environmental stewardship. Yet, maintaining sensor accuracy over months or years of deployment remains a persistent challenge. Sensor drift, caused by aging components or environmental stressors, can silently compromise data integrity, leading to false alarms, missed hazards, or regulatory penalties. Enter Sensorbee’s high-accuracy gas sensors with Automatic Baseline Calibration (ABC) —a groundbreaking solution designed to eliminate drift and deliver reliable, drift-free measurements for industrial and urban air quality monitoring. The Hidden Cost of Sensor Drift Gas sensors, whether electrochemical or NDIR-based, are not immune to the passage of time. Gradual degradation of components, humidity fluctuations, or exposure to harsh environments can shift a sensor’s baseline readings. Imagine a scenario where a drifting CO sensor in a manufacturing plant fails to detect a leak, risking worker safety, or an over-reporting NO₂ sensor triggers unnecessary shutdowns in a refinery. Traditional solutions require frequent manual recalibration using bottled reference gases or factory resets—a process that demands downtime, specialized labor, and ongoing costs. How Automatic Baseline Calibration Works At the heart of Sensorbee’s innovation lies ABC technology , a self-correcting system that intelligently adapts to changing conditions. Inspired by advancements in CO₂ sensor calibration, our sensors leverage periods of “clean air” exposure—when pollutant levels naturally dip—to autonomously recalibrate their baseline. For instance, during off-hours in a factory or at night in urban areas, the system identifies these low-concentration windows to reset the zero point, effectively neutralizing drift. Additionally, span calibration checks are performed against embedded reference points, ensuring both baseline and measurement range accuracy. This dual approach mimics the rigor of lab-grade calibration but operates seamlessly in the field, 24/7. Why Sensorbee Stands Out While competitors rely on manual interventions or post-processing algorithms to compensate for drift, Sensorbee’s ABC-enabled sensors are built for real-world reliability. Key advantages include: Minimal Maintenance : Reduce site visits and labor costs by up to 70%, as sensors self-tune without human intervention.

Abstract This paper examines the commercial viability of Sensorbee’s integrated monitoring solution for noise, dust, and vibration (NDV) within UK construction and demolition contexts. By analyzing its deployment through a partnership with Survey Solutions , a leading survey and monitoring firm employing over 200 staff across 12 offices, this study demonstrates how Sensorbee’s platform addresses key regulatory requirements, including Section 61 of the Control of Pollution Act (COPA) and BS 5228. The findings indicate that Sensorbee’s technology is not only technically robust but also financially sustainable, thereby reinforcing its broader scalability potential in European markets. Introduction The construction industry continues to face growing environmental scrutiny, particularly concerning air and noise pollution. In the United Kingdom, legislative instruments such as COPA (1974) and BS 5228 impose stringent guidelines for reducing the impact of noise, dust, and vibration on surrounding communities and ecosystems. Although numerous monitoring technologies have emerged to address these issues, many fail to integrate the three key parameters—noise, dust, and vibration—into a single, efficient platform. This paper reviews how Sensorbee’s NDV solution, when implemented in collaboration with Survey Solutions, offers a comprehensive approach to environmental compliance and site management. Methods and Implementation Sensorbee’s Air Pro 2 devices, equipped with particulate matter sensors (PM1, PM2.5, PM10) and a class-2 digital microphone, were installed at multiple Survey Solutions sites to record noise levels and dust concentrations in real-time. To address vibrations, an external triaxial sensor module was developed and connected seamlessly to Sensorbee’s core platform. Survey Solutions selected Sensorbee due to the recognized need for a modern, three-in-one monitoring system capable of generating legally defensible data. The study period extended over a full quarter (Q4), ensuring that Sensorbee’s technology was tested under varied operational conditions and construction phases. Results and Observations The deployment showed notable improvements in data accuracy, response time, and compliance workflows. Survey Solutions subsequently introduced 50 or more Sensorbee NDV devices across multiple sites, reflecting substantial commercial confidence. Further validation was observed in the firm’s decision to dedicate specialized teams—composed of sales personnel and technical leads—exclusively to Sensorbee-related projects. This commitment indicates an enduring demand within the UK market for technology that efficiently captures noise, dust, and vibration data while aligning with local regulations. Additionally, Survey Solutions ’ collaboration with SCCS (a part of Hexagon Group with revenues exceeding €5 billion) underscores Sensorbee’s credibility among high-value global partners. Discussion Sensorbee addresses an important gap in the environmental compliance market by integrating three separate monitoring processes into a single platform. Previous solutions have often required clients to work with multiple suppliers, resulting in fragmented data and challenges in regulatory reporting. Sensorbee’s single solution consolidates data streams, automates reporting, and provides immediate alerts for exceedances of thresholds specified in Section 61 or BS 5228. This efficiency is particularly relevant for large-scale construction or demolition activities where swift action can avert environmental harm and legal repercussions. Survey Solutions’ endorsement, accompanied by tangible personnel investments and the expansion to additional distributors, highlights the system’s resilience and value proposition. Conclusion The partnership between Sensorbee and Survey Solutions serves as a compelling case study for the commercial and operational efficacy of an integrated NDV monitoring system. The successful rollout of over 50 devices across diverse UK sites demonstrates Sensorbee’s technical robustness, rapid scalability, and strategic fit within existing regulatory frameworks. Evidence from this deployment further indicates potential for broader adoption, particularly in European regions instituting parallel or stricter environmental guidelines. The observed interest from large-scale industry stakeholders, including SCCS , confirms Sensorbee’s viability as a sustainable, high-impact solution for contemporary environmental monitoring challenges.
