Environmental Monitoring solutions tailored to your site, helping you measure and manage noise, dust, gas, climate and other hazards that can impact people and the environment.

RVT Group offer vibration monitors, dust monitors, noise monitors and gas monitors. Our monitors provide continuous real-time measurements and will alert you by email or SMS if a pre-set parameter has been breached. Real-time monitoring is ideal for mitigating risks, but the historic data records are also ideal for proving compliance.

The frequency of water quality monitoring depends on the site conditions and local regulations:

• Continuous monitoring may be required for sites with significant runoff water or based in a sensitive area, such as near a water body.
• Regular water sampling may be the preferred option, where samples are taken at least once a week, especially during active construction phases when runoff is most likely to occur.
• Reactive monitoring, such as after a rainstorm, to check for any surge in pollutants or sediment.
• Some sites may monitor only when there’s visible pollution, or if there’s an incident or spill.

Water pollution on construction sites can come from several sources, including:

• Soil erosion from disturbed areas can lead to sediment-laden runoff that affects nearby rivers, lakes, or wetlands.
• Fuel, oils, paints, solvents, and concrete washout water can contaminate surface water if not properly managed.
• Heavy rains can wash pollutants into nearby water sources if there are no effective drainage or sediment control measures in place.
• Water used for cleaning construction equipment can contain pollutants like oil and grease.

Water quality monitoring on construction sites is essential for several reasons, including:

• Construction activities can lead to pollutants (e.g. oils, chemicals, sediment) entering nearby water bodies, which can harm local ecosystems.
• Many projects have requirements to monitor and manage water runoff to meet environmental regulations and avoid fines.
  Polluted water can contaminate drinking water sources and affect public health, especially if the site is near residential or agricultural areas.
• Construction sites often disturb soil, leading to sediment runoff. Monitoring helps ensure sediment levels are within acceptable limits to prevent waterway contamination.

• Excessive vibrations can crack foundations, walls, or ceilings in nearby buildings, causing structural damage, costly repairs and legal disputes.
• High vibrations can compromise the structural integrity of scaffolding, temporary supports, or even cause equipment to malfunction, putting workers at risk.
• There may be strict regulations regarding vibration limits for construction and demolition projects. Failing to comply can result in fines or a project .
• Nearby property owners could file claims for damages caused by vibrations if they are not properly monitored.

Vibrations from various site activities could need to be monitored, including:

• Heavy machinery operations such as excavators, bulldozers, and compactors can cause ground vibrations that affect nearby structures.
• The pounding of piles into the ground during foundation work can cause significant vibrations.
• Explosions or mechanical demolition methods (e.g. hydraulic hammers, wrecking balls) can generate strong shockwaves and vibrations.
• The use of vibrators to settle concrete or compact soil during concrete pouring can cause localised vibrations.

Yes, we set up pre-defined thresholds limits based on your specific project requirements, with automatically triggered SMS or email alerts if vibration levels approach or exceed your pre-set limits, allowing you to take immediate action.

Our solutions are suitable for construction sites, demolition projects, infrastructure works, tunnelling, piling operations and any project where vibrations could pose a risk to structures or sensitive receptors.

Our solutions monitor environmental and structural vibrations generated by construction, demolition, piling, tunnelling and other high-impact activities, giving you accurate data on how your works are affecting the surrounding area.

BS 5288 is the code of practice for noise and vibration control on construction and open sites. Part 1 provides guidance on noise control and recommends the use of the ‘ABC method’ for determining threshold noise levels. This involves measuring existing ambient noise levels outside the dwellings and categorising them A, B or C, with the relevant threshold level derived from the category. For more information please refer to the full code of practice which is available to purchase on line.

Yes, you will receive an alert if the temperature and humidity deviate outside your pre-defined parameters.

Yes, we designed our temperature and humidity monitoring solution to be simple to install and straightforward to use. Once it’s in place, it operates automatically and keeps you informed without needing constant attention.

Yes, early visibility of rising humidity or poor drying conditions allows you to act before problems develop, protecting materials and work that is already completed.

By having real-time visibility of site conditions, it will help you decide when to run heating, drying or dehumidification equipment. This means you can keep materials in good condition, maintain drying schedules and avoid project delays.

We provide continuous monitoring of ambient temperature and relative humidity on site. Our solution automatically logs readings and makes them accessible through a secure, cloud-based platform.

The temperature and humidity monitor is a monitor that affixes to an upright stand and can measure the temperature and humidity of the environment it is in.

Some work areas may be inside a confined area, where workers could be exposed to oxygen deficiency or carbon monoxide (CO) if the area is not well-ventilated. This is particularly true when using equipment like floor grinding machines that might consume oxygen or produce CO.

Submarine and ship maintenance: Submarines have enclosed spaces where oxygen levels can become dangerously low, and gases like carbon dioxide can accumulate. Continuous oxygen monitoring is necessary to ensure air quality is maintained during maintenance operations.

Aircraft and vehicle maintenance: Maintenance on military vehicles, aircraft, and submarines can expose workers to hazardous fumes like jet fuel vapours, exhaust gases, and solvents. Using a gas monitor ensures that these vapours are kept below harmful levels to prevent fire or health hazards.

Tunnelling operations: Tunnels often have low ventilation, and gases such as carbon monoxide, methane, and nitrogen dioxide can accumulate due to machinery and the breakdown of materials. Gas monitors are essential for safety, especially in deeper or confined tunnels.

Confined space work: When workers enter confined spaces like tunnels, silos, or tanks, gases like oxygen deficiency and carbon monoxide can be a risk. Using a gas monitorhelps prevent incidents like suffocation or poisoning.

Excavation and trenching: Workers may encounter hazardous gases such as carbon dioxide when digging in areas with underground pipes, sewers, or landfills.

Welding and cutting: These activities can produce dangerous fumes and gases such as carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Gas monitors can help assess air quality and prevent harmful exposures.

Whether in construction, manufacturing, or industrial settings, oxygen levels can drop due to poor ventilation or high concentrations of gases. Gas monitors are critical in detecting low oxygen levels, which can lead to asphyxiation.

Toxic Gas Leaks: Hazardous gases such as ammonia, carbon monoxide, hydrogen sulphide, or Volatile organic compound (VOCs) may leak from equipment or materials used on-site, posing serious risks. Using a gas monitor ensures early detection and allows for quick response.

Many industrial and construction activities involve the use of flammable gases or materials that can combust if they accumulate to unsafe levels. Gas monitors help detect the presence of combustible gases and prevent explosions or fires.

Conditions can change quickly, especially in enclosed or hazardous work area. Continuous monitoring helps identify issues early, preventing accidents, enabling safer working conditions and reducing risk across your project.
