Keeping a lid on
dust and noise
K
eltbray has been working on the
demolition of Mitre House in the
City of London, a location that
presented the company with a major challenge
in maintaining good relations with the
occupants of nearby structures in this densely
built-up part of the UK’s capital city. Of
particular concern was the control of noise
and dust, with Mitre House being situated in
very close proximity to a private educational
institution, and as a result an appropriate
monitoring system was installed on the site.
According to Keltbray’s health and
environment advisor Altin Lieshi: “The dust
and noise associated with the deconstruction
work we were carrying out had to be carefully
managed. This required real time 24-hour
monitoring. We chose the Casella Boundary
Guardian because it has some new features
such as local alarms and e-mails that inform
us when dust or noise limits are exceeded,
plus a dedicated website for viewing real-time
and historical data from the unit.”
“What’s more”, he concluded: “The Local
Authority Environmental Health Officer
welcomed the use of the Boundary Guardian
because the versatility of the monitor helped
us to achieve full environmental compliance.”
The Boundary Guardian was mounted on
a pole above hoarding level, as agreed with the
City of London, and proved easy to operate
with minimal training. Casella claims that
the system is the first simultaneous multi-
parameter monitor for dust, noise, wind speed
Kirkby Skips Ltd, one of the largest waste
recycling companies in the Liverpool, Merseyside
and surrounding areas in the UK, recently acquired
an Anaconda TD516 trommel. It has been using the
machine to produce high volumes of processed
waste material in applications such as skip
waste fines, shredded waste, soil remediation,
composting and wood chip. Anaconda offers the
TD516 with a wide range of drum designs and
screen sizes.
The Casella Boundary Guardian
is providing a noise and
dust monitoring solution for
Keltbray in the City of London
and wind direction available in the UK from
a single manufacturer. It provides accurate,
reliable data in harsh outdoor environments
and helps ensure that conditions that have the
potential for causing adverse health effects
are reduced or eliminated. Keltbray engineers
were able to extract data and produce reports
wherever they were, 24 hours a day, by
accessing a private log-in dedicated website.
