Environmental Monitoring

Automated and Manual Noise, Vibration and Dust Monitoring Solutions

Comprehensive environmental monitoring services that help project teams understand and manage the effects of Noise, Vibration, and Dust throughout the lifecycle of construction and infrastructure works.

These services are designed to ensure regulatory compliance, reduce the likelihood of complaints, protect sensitive structures, and maintain positive relationships with local communities. Sixense combines advanced monitoring technologies with expert analysis to provide accurate insights into construction site environmental performance and impacts.

Noise monitoring includes the deployment of precision acoustic sensors to measure and analyse sound levels generated during construction activities. Sixense can supply, install, configure and manage automated noise monitoring stations that continuously record sound data and issue alerts if thresholds are approached or exceeded. This enables proactive management of high-noise activities, planning of working hours, and mitigation measures such as temporary barriers or alternative working methods. Clear reporting ensures that data can be easily communicated to regulators, stakeholders, and the public.

Vibration monitoring is essential for projects located near sensitive structures, utilities, or occupied buildings. Sixense employs robust vibration sensors and geophones to measure ground-borne and structural vibration in real time. The system provides immediate warnings when vibration levels approach predefined limits, helping site management adapt operations before damage or disruption occurs. These insights support both asset protection and reassurance for building owners and occupants in the surrounding area.

Dust monitoring helps manage air quality and limit environmental and health impacts associated with construction activities. Sixense deploy particulate monitoring equipment to measure dust concentrations, enabling teams to identify dust-generating sources and implement mitigation strategies such as water suppression or material handling adjustments. Data is made available in real time and supported by trend analysis to demonstrate compliance and provide transparency for environmental regulators.

All monitoring instruments are integrated into Sixense’s Beyond Monitoring Software, which consolidates Noise, Vibration, and Dust data into a single, easy-to-navigate interface. This platform provides real-time dashboards, automated reporting, and configurable alarm notifications, enabling site teams and stakeholders to make informed decisions quickly. The system is accessible from any device, ensuring that environmental performance is visible and manageable wherever project teams are located.

Sixense can also provide expert environmental support, including permit guidance, liaison with regulators, community engagement, and interpretation of monitoring results. This advisory role ensures that data is not only collected but understood and acted upon. With this combination of technical capability and consultancy expertise, Sixense enables safer, more considerate, and more compliant construction projects across a wide range of sectors and environments.

Our approach in three key stages:

1

Situational diagnostics

to assess your environment, model and simulate the environmental and health impact of your projects, and analyse the associated risks and opportunities.

2

Assessment and solution design

tailored to solving your problems and meeting your regulatory, contractual and QHSE requirements, as well as your budgetary constraints. We examine the most effective scenarios, and support you in your decision-making.

3

Support with monitoring

the implementation of impact reduction measures and measuring their effectiveness. We explain technical issues and proposed solutions in understandable terms, and facilitate communication with all stakeholders using personalised communication tools, attendance at public meetings, dedicated training and other resources.
