be required and the standards those instruments should adhere to, so care should be taken to check before implementing any measurement technology.
It can be diffi cult to understand which parts of these regulations apply to individual construction projects and some companies may not have a dedicated professional on site, so it is always recommended to consult environmental experts for as needed. Local authorities and environmental agencies may also impose specifi c restrictions that site management must be aware of as failure to comply can lead to signifi cant penalties.
Modern boundary monitors can produce automated reports that display the level of emissions escaping the site with locational data, automatically sent at specifi c time to individuals of choice. These reports can be used in conjunction with other reporting methods to prove compliance with the standards listed above ensure limits have not been breached.
Educate your staff
Site operatives must receive clear instructions on managing noise and dust, including knowledge of site limits and performance standards. In addition to basic training on the operation of monitoring equipment, operatives should be educated on proper maintenance practices, such as how to prevent damage to units and how to conduct regular calibration to sensors like noise monitors. If any equipment is accidentally damaged, it’s crucial that staff understand the reporting procedures to ensure timely repairs or replacement.
Those in charge of boundary monitoring procedures should be experienced and trained on the implementation of a comprehensive boundary monitoring network with an understanding of the unique risks that individual projects will present. Once they have conducted a reasonable assessment, proper working practices, such as control and mitigation measures should be distilled to other employees to prevent issues with the monitoring systems that may lead to a pause in construction activity until rectifi ed.
Being proactive
Traditional monitoring techniques such as dust deposit gauges limit a company’s ability to be proactive. Boundary monitors can now provide real-time noise, dust and vibration level analysis, meaning that site operators can be proactive when they receive immediate alerts that prescribed levels have been exceeded, and act rapidly before any legal limits have been passed.

Flow Calibrator mod. CF1
Call the CF1 a “fl ow calibrator” is quite reductive because, of course, it measures the actual/normalized fl owrate but it also measures the volume passing through the cell, ambient pressure, gas temperature and pressure drop of the line. A second version named CF1-UR is available and, through an external sensor, also measure ambient temperature and relative humidity.
The CF1 features an annular laminar fl ow cell which grants a fl owrate range with a very wide dynamic 1:100 (from 0,45 to 45 l/min) and capability to measures fl ows both sampled or delivered by the pump.
CF1 is compact and light (only 300 gr) and is equipped with LiPO batteries which makes it perfect as secondary reference for fi eld operations. But all CF1 sensors can be ISO17025 certifi ed, which makes it suitable also as primary reference for fl owrate, volume, pressure, temperature and rH% in lab.
CF1 has also wireless communication capabilities, it will be supplied with USB dongle for direct communication of all the readings through the software (under development) for long lasting sampler tests. The software will also allow to program the certifi cates into the unit. A high accuracy calibration is available as option to deliver the unit with fl owrate accuracy of 0,8% ± 0,1% f.s.!
What else can be asked to fl ow calibrator? Yes, yes, we
know....the price!
Well, you will be positively surprised also by its price! More information online:

A robust boundary monitoring program is essential for any project committed to compliance and the safety of the public, as well as environmental responsibility. Implementing an appropriate boundary monitoring program will ensure environmental limits and guidelines are met while safeguarding your fi nances and reputation.
Where necessary, always employ the services of an external consultant and read the latest guidance and advice from regulatory bodies and industry experts. Ensuring employees understand the correct boundary monitoring procedures allows operations to proceed effi ciently and safely, benefi ting everyone on and off site.
