Combined Noise and Dust Monitoring Equipment with Integrated AI

Each noise monitor used on this project not only captures audio clips when any noise exceedance limit is detected, but it also identifies different sources of noise. Through the integrated artificial intelligence, sounds are automatically analysed and categorised as noise being from: construction activities, impact sounds, music or vehicles.

The recordings are automatically stored on a cloud-based system that is accessible to the contractors operational teams for playback and investigation. Real time environmental noise and dust emission data and weekly performance reports can be accessed at any time but are automatically emailed to key team members for review and action. The apparatus is equipped with a 4G SIM card, allowing a text and email of sound to be sent in real time.

Through use of this technology, the contractor has seen a greater focus on potential noise and dust nuisance impacts, which has resulted in a reduction in complaints from the sites neighbours in comparison to sites utilising conventional noise monitoring equipment.

Should any environmental noise be reported on a site using the equipment, the operational team can rely on the technology to correctly classify the source, negating the need for manual and time-consuming identification.
