Casella Solutions’ Boundary Guardian helps to control dust and noise on site

1 Mar 2016

With the US construction and waste industries continuing to grow it is critical that these sectors take care of their workers, neighbours and the environment.
With this in mind Casella Solutions, industry leading experts in providing effective dust and noise monitoring solutions has developed the Boundary Guardian; a comprehensive web based remote monitoring system for dust and noise exposures suitable for use at construction and demolition recycling sites. 

The Boundary Guardian monitors for noise, dust and vibration levels around your site and it also alerts companies to hazardous levels before they are the subject of complaints. Companies have to comply with planning permission on dust and noise emissions but also be socially responsible for their businesses and be good neighbours to the surrounding communities.  As the demand for construction and demolition recycling services increases, companies need to ensure that they are taking into account all possible factors affecting the surrounding areas.

 With heavy fines per noise violation a possibility, preventing noise and dust from exceeding agreed emissions levels directly affects the profitability of a company. Therefore, implementing a reliable and effective noise and dust monitoring programme is essential to local authority and neighbourhood relations as well as profitability.

Casella’s Boundary Guardian enables site operators to conduct web-based monitoring of noise and/or dust emissions to ensure compliance with regulatory limits. This prevents any adverse effects to people and communities within the local area. It sends out text and email alerts when noise or dust levels are approaching ‘trigger’ levels, enabling site operators to manage site activity to ensure noise and dust impact to those in the area is minimised at all time. In addition, the Boundary Guardian ‘pushes’ data automatically to a dedicated website that uses a private login and is accessible in real-time, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. In the event that a report is required for compliance reasons, one can be readily produced quickly and easily.

 

Once installed, the Boundary Guardian ensures compliance with regulatory limits.  This is done via a simple installation service.  The unit automatically starts up and begins receiving data as soon as it is fixed to a wall and supplied with power. 

 

There is no other system currently available on the market that offers the same levels of functionality and performance. Commenting on the Boundary Guardian, Neal Hill, Product Manager at Casella Solutions said, “At Casella Solutions we are dedicated to providing data through our systems that leads to positive outcomes and changes for the global workforce. The Boundary Guardian has provided that solution as it encompasses noise, dust and vibration monitoring, ultimately helping to monitor high risk occupational sectors including the construction and demolition recycling industry, enhancing the long term health and quality of life, not only for a vast workforce, but also improving a company’s social responsibility for the area surrounding its work site. ”
