FROM PLAN TO SITE
Turn environmental requirements into a working monitoring system
A Section 61 consent, CEMP, SEMP, Dust Management Plan, local Code of Construction Practice or consultant monitoring specification may define where monitoring is required, what parameters need to be measured, applicable trigger or action levels and how data should be reported. Campbell Associates takes those agreed requirements and helps turn them into a practical site monitoring network.
Review the project requirements
Share the Section 61 consent, CEMP, DEMP, SEMP, local Code of Practice, Dust Management Plan or consultant monitoring specification so the monitoring package can be built around the project.
Plan the monitoring positions
Review sensitive receptors, boundaries, access, security, available power, communications and the technical requirements of each measurement location.
Configure limits and alerts
Once the relevant trigger and action levels have been agreed by the project team, consultant or authority, configure compatible monitors, alert recipients and reporting outputs around those requirements.
Monitor and report
View compatible monitoring data remotely, investigate events and distribute agreed automated or project-specific reports to the relevant stakeholders.
REQUIREMENTS TO LIVE MONITORING
Configured for the project. Installed for the site.
MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
Built around the requirements of your project
Local requirements differ. We configure the monitoring system around the project documentation, limits and reporting requirements supplied to us rather than applying generic thresholds from another site.
Section 61 Prior Consent
Monitoring configured to meet agreed noise and vibration limits.
B5-5228-1 & BS-5228-2
Monitoring aligned with recognised construction noise and vibration guidance.
CEMP / DEMP / SEMP Requirements
Monitoring and reporting tailored to your approved environmental plan.
Local Codes of Practice
Equipment, limits and reporting configured to local authority requirements.
Dust Management Plans
Continuous dust monitoring against your agreed action levels.
Project Specific Monitoring
A tailored system for your site risks, activities and stakeholders.
BEFORE WORK STARTS
Establish the baseline before construction begins
Pre-construction baseline monitoring can establish existing environmental conditions before significant works begin, giving the project team and appointed consultant a reference against which later construction related changes can be assessed. Baseline data can also provide useful evidence when appropriate trigger and action levels are being considered.
TRIGGERS & ACTION LEVELS
Configure the monitoring around your agreed project limits
Trigger and action levels should be appropriate to the project, receptor and applicable consent, planning condition, Code of Construction Practice or monitoring strategy. Once the appropriate limits have been agreed by the project team, consultant or relevant authority, Campbell Associates can configure compatible monitoring systems and Sonitus Cloud accordingly.
WORKING WITH YOUR CONSULTANT
You define the monitoring strategy. We make the monitoring system work.
Campbell Associates supplies monitoring systems to contractors, developers and environmental or acoustic consultants. Where a consultant has prepared the Section 61 application, CEMP, SEMP, environmental assessment or monitoring specification, our role is to provide, install and configure the monitoring equipment needed to implement it. Your consultant can remain responsible for assessment and interpretation while Campbell Associates manages the instrumentation, connectivity, cloud platform and technical operation of the monitoring network.
CONNECTED MONITORING
Every monitor. One cloud platform.
Sonitus Cloud provides a central location for compatible project environmental monitoring data. Noise, vibration and other supported systems can be viewed remotely without repeatedly visiting individual monitoring locations.

MANAGED BY CAMPBELL ASSOCIATES
We can manage the monitoring so your team does not have to
Monitoring equipment is only one part of a successful environmental monitoring programme. Campbell Associates can support the monitoring network from initial planning and installation through to maintenance, relocation, reporting support and eventual decommissioning.
Survey
Review monitoring locations, access, power and communications.
Install
Field engineers install and commission the monitoring network.
Connect
Compatible monitoring locations are configured within the project cloud environment.
Monitor
Measurements, alerts and system status can be reviewed remotely.
Maintain
Our engineers can attend when equipment needs servicing or relocation.
Report
Automated and project specific reporting keeps stakeholders informed.<br />
Decommission
At the end of the programme, the network can be removed cleanly.
FIELD & SITE SERVICES
Field engineers who understand the monitoring system
Our field engineering team can support installation, commissioning, relocation, servicing and decommissioning throughout the project.
Site Surveys
Monitor Installation
Commissioning
Relocation
Fault Investigation
Maintenance
Calibration Coordination
Decommissioning
AUTOMATED REPORTING
Environmental reporting without the repetitive administration
Compatible monitoring data can be compiled into scheduled project reports and distributed to nominated stakeholders, reducing repetitive manual administration and keeping project information accessible.
ALERTS
Know when something needs attention
Configurable alerts can help project teams identify elevated measurements and investigate potential environmental events more quickly. Alert thresholds should reflect the limits agreed for the project rather than generic values copied from another site.

Are All MCERTS dust monitors suitable for construction projects?
MCERTS-certified indicative dust monitors are widely specified for construction projects across the UK. However, are all MCERTS monitors truly suitable for construction applications? The MCERTS indicative certification is primarily achieved through comparative measurements against reference-grade instruments in background (ambient) locations. To gain certification, a sample of instruments must demonstrate good long-term correlation with the reference […]

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Construction monitoring FAQs
What is construction monitoring?
Construction monitoring measures noise, dust, vibration, weather and structural movement to help manage environmental impacts, protect nearby properties and demonstrate compliance.
What should be monitored on a construction site?
Requirements depend on the project, but commonly include noise, vibration, dust, weather conditions and structural movement.
Is construction monitoring a legal requirement?
Monitoring may be required by planning conditions, a Section 61 consent, an environmental management plan, a local authority code of practice or the project specification.
When should monitoring begin?
Baseline monitoring should ideally begin before construction or demolition work starts. This establishes existing conditions and provides a reliable comparison for later results.
Can we receive alerts when limits are exceeded?
Yes. Compatible systems can issue automated alerts when agreed noise, dust or vibration levels are approached or exceeded.
Can monitoring data be viewed remotely?
Yes. Compatible equipment can connect to Sonitus Cloud, allowing authorised users to view live data, alerts, reports and monitoring locations remotely.
Can Campbell Associates install and manage the equipment?
Yes. We can supply, install, commission and manage monitoring equipment, provide technical support and assist with reporting throughout the project.
Can the equipment operate without mains power?
Yes. Time stamped monitoring data can be reviewed alongside site activities to help assess complaints and identify likely causes.
What happens if a monitor exceeds an agreed limit?
An alert can be sent to nominated contacts so the result can be reviewed against site activity, weather conditions and any applicable action levels.
How do I know what monitoring my project needs?
Campbell Associates can review your planning conditions, Section 61 consent, environmental management plan or project specification and recommend a suitable monitoring system.
