Compliance you can show
at any time

Industrial sites, developments with operating noise conditions and long construction programs carry noise conditions that have to be met every day, not just on the day of a survey. We install and maintain the monitors, bring the data back remotely to a live dashboard, and turn it into the periodic compliance reports your conditions call for — so a complaint or an audit is answered with a record rather than an opinion.

When you need one

+
-

When a development approval, environmental authority or construction management plan requires ongoing noise monitoring or periodic compliance reporting; when a site has a history of complaints and needs a continuous record; and when an operator wants to know where it stands before the regulator asks.

What the standard requires

+
-

The monitoring requirements are set by the conditions themselves — the location, the descriptors, the assessment periods and the reporting interval. Measurement follows AS 1055, with the monitor positioned and configured to match what the condition actually specifies.

What you receive

+
-

A monitoring program designed around your conditions; monitors installed, maintained and checked; remote access to a live dashboard; wind speed and direction logged alongside noise so that downwind periods and extraneous events can be identified; and compliance reports at the interval your approval sets.

How long it takes

+
-

A program runs for as long as the conditions do — months for a construction project, years for an operating site. Set-up is a site visit to install and commission the monitors.

How fees are quoted

+
-

As a retainer for each site and term, covering the equipment, data, maintenance visits and reporting, so the cost is known in advance.

Common questions

Why monitor continuously instead of commissioning a survey when needed?

+
-

A survey shows one day. Continuous data shows the pattern — which operations, hours and weather drive the levels — and gives you a record to answer a complaint about any night, not just the night someone measured.

How do you deal with noise that isn't from the site?

+
-

Wind data, the time history and the frequency content are used to separate site noise from rain, insects, traffic and other extraneous sources before levels are assessed.

Can the data be shared with the regulator?

+
-

Yes. Reports are prepared for submission, and dashboard access can be arranged if your conditions or relationship with the regulator call for it.
