Portable Monitoring
Product TypeThe perfect solution for shorter term or multiple ad-hoc measurements, these portable monitoring solutions have been specifically designed to be robust and easy to use – ideal for construction and demolition environments.
FAQ
Mabey Hire’s portable monitoring solutions include:
- Noise monitors, hand-held devices that measure environmental or occupational sound levels.
- Vibration monitors, portable units in rugged, IP-rated cases for site-wide vibration measurement.
- Dust monitors, real-time measurement of airborne particulates, fumes, and aerosols.
- Gas monitors, protects against the four most prevalent gas hazards: carbon monoxide (CO), hydrogen sulphide (H2S), flammable gases (eg CH4) and oxygen (O2) depletion.
Data is stored locally on the monitoring units (e.g., noise monitor memory, vibration monitor memory) for later download. Downloaded data (e.g., via USB) can be analysed later, enabling detailed review of trends and threshold breaches.
For some units, live or real-time data can be streamed to Mabey’s Insite web portal, allowing remote access and instant management of environmental readings.
Yes, the devices are designed to meet relevant industry and safety standards:
The portable vibration monitor is compliant with BS 7385, BS 5228, and DIN 4150-
Noise monitoring equipment follows standards like BS EN 61672-1 and BS EN 61672-3, and can perform measurements according to ISO 1996 and BS 4142.
Dust monitors are mCERTs-approved (depending on order specification) for reliable particulate measurement.
Portable monitoring from Mabey Hire is ideal for:
Short-term or ad hoc measurements, such as during particular phases of construction or demolition works.
Projects where mobility is needed, for example when equipment needs to be moved around site as works progress. (Especially true for their portable vibration monitors.)
Regulatory compliance checks, such as ensuring noise levels meet local authority or contractual limits (e.g., Section 61 notices).
Health & safety assessments, such as walk-through surveys for airborne dust or verifying effectiveness of dust control measures.
