What happens next
Setup is fast and minimally disruptive.
We attend, position monitors, configure thresholds and telemetry, and provide ongoing weekly compliance reporting through the project lifecycle.
No unnecessary disruption. No generic paperwork. No unnecessary complexity.
Whether exposure is controlled
A clear yes or no, backed by measurement.
Where the highest risks are
Locations, tasks and roles ranked by exposure.
What actions matter most
A prioritised plan you can budget and schedule.
What you get
Four answers. One clear plan.
You need to know what your workforce is exposed to, whether your controls are effective, what actions matter most, and how to demonstrate control confidently.
That is exactly what we deliver.
Continuous LAeq
Class 1 Leq monitoring at boundary or receptor positions, weather-protected and tamper-resistant.
Real-time alerts
SMS / email alerts on configurable trigger and action thresholds.
Compliance reporting
Weekly reports referencing planning conditions and any Section 61 limits.
Source diagnosis
Identify the activity behind exceedances and propose proportionate controls.
Why clients call
If any of this sounds familiar, you're in the right place.
- 01
An auditor is asking
HSE, your insurer or a client wants evidence — not assurances
We provide measured boundary noise data and a clear technical report that resolves the issue quickly.
- 02
Your team is worried
Operatives are reporting concerns or symptoms
We attend site, quantify workforce exposure and provide clear evidence of current risk levels.
- 03
You suspect a problem
You know there's a risk and you want measured data before it becomes a crisis
We quantify exposure, assess it against current limits and provide a prioritised corrective action plan.
What we answer for you
Three questions, settled.
- Where your people are exposed
- We map the tasks, areas and shifts where boundary noise matters, then sample what your team actually breathes — not a generic site average.
- Whether your controls are working
- An independent review of your LEV, ventilation, PPE and work practices — what is effective and what requires improvement.
- What you need to fix first
- A prioritised, costed action list — the smallest set of changes that gets you compliant and measurably safer.
How we work with you
From your first call to your action plan.
- 1
We listen first — your site, your concerns, your deadline.
- 2
We walk the workplace with your team to see exposure as it actually happens.
- 3
We sample on the people most at risk, using validated occupational hygiene methods for boundary noise.
- 4
We assess your existing controls honestly — what's working, what isn't.
- 5
You receive a clear technical report suitable for operational, compliance and regulatory readers.
- 6
We hand you a prioritised action plan you can budget, schedule and defend.

Background
Boundary noise monitoring, in detail.
Why and when
Most major construction projects carry planning or Section 61 limits expressed as LAeq values at named receptors over defined working periods. Continuous monitoring provides the evidence needed to demonstrate compliance and to defend the project against complaints.
What we deploy
Class 1 noise monitors at receptor or boundary positions, weather-protected and tamper-resistant, with mains or solar/battery power, telemetry to a hosted dashboard and configurable trigger / action thresholds.
Thresholds and alerts
Day / evening / night working categories, planning condition limits and Section 61 commitments are combined into a clear threshold framework with SMS / email alerting.
