Construction dust monitoring systems, simple hire or fully managed

Dust is one of the most visible impacts a site has on its neighbours, and one of the most common reasons for complaints, planning conditions, and stop notices. Our construction dust monitoring solutions give you continuous, real-time particulate data.

As part of our environmental monitoring solutions, we install our Enviroguard construction dust monitor at site boundaries. This measures PM10 and PM2.5 around the clock. You can hire the equipment on its own, or choose our fully managed service where our team handles everything.

Active dust monitoring, not just equipment

Choose our fully managed service and our monitoring team actively watches your dust data throughout the hire, so rising particulate levels get spotted early, not discovered in next month’s report.

Alerts handled by our team

If dust levels approach or breach your site’s trigger thresholds, our engineers are alerted, send over the details, and if there’s an issue on site, they’ll come out and resolve it.

Dedicated engineering support

From siting monitors and setting trigger levels to reporting for your local authority, our monitoring engineers support you throughout, with advice grounded in current guidance and years of site experience.

Dust monitoring for planning conditions and compliance

Most urban demolition and construction projects now carry planning conditions requiring boundary dust monitoring, with trigger levels typically informed by IAQM guidance.

Our monitors are positioned at the site boundary and sensitive receptors, logging PM10 and PM2.5 continuously. All of this data is available 24/7 through Insite, ready for local authority submissions and complaint investigations.

Short-term and project-length dust monitoring hire

From a six-week demolition to a multi-year infrastructure scheme, hiring your dust monitoring equipment keeps you flexible.

Our engineers handle installation and commissioning. This means monitoring is live when your planning condition says it needs to be, and calibration, maintenance and swap-outs stay our problem, not yours.

Dust monitoring for demolition projects

Demolition generates more dust, complaints and regulatory attention than almost any other site activity. We regularly monitor dust on demolition projects alongside noise and vibration, giving you one environmental monitoring package and one point of contact.
