Noise monitoring on an urban renovation project

The Project

Need to monitor noise disturbance caused by a general contractor during a 3-year long inner city renovation project

Challenge

The government of Monaco has set very strict noise limits for contractors who operate on their territory. These thresholds vary according to the time of day and if they are exceeded, the contractor may be exposed to fines. It was very important to identify clearly whether the disturbances were caused by the worksite or by outside traffic.

Need to monitor sound level

Our solution

We installed UBY Environment noise recognition sensors as well as a  Méduse sensor, both connected to our UBY Environment platform. Alerts are sent in case thresholds are exceeded – notification contain noise identification and location from our sensors. The Director General for Public works can receive an alert if thresholds are exceeded and the Méduse monitor can take a picture to identify whether noise originated from the worksite or from nearby traffic.
