Noise management solutions for construction
Manage complex projects, minimise risk, and stay within budget
Construction noise management can be complex —there are many assets that belong to a range of operators, multiple processes, and numerous people. The site is often constrained or surrounded by commercial, residential, and other noise-sensitive premises.
Operating conditions set by regulators can be complex, with restrictive noise limits set for night-time operations in particular. To manage construction noise, most projects will undergo baseline noise modelling to understand the impact, and then will monitor noise to adjust the operations as required. But this baseline modelling can be inaccurate because the model may have no reference to the actual work done on site or any unplanned activities. These activities can result in increased noise levels and become an issue, potentially leading to project delays and increased costs.
Vanguard Technologies can provide you with continuous real-time noise monitoring and predictive modelling tools to monitor and manage environmental compliance, provide auditable records, respond to alerts, identify your noise contribution, and plan your work to optimise and improve efficiency for every aspect of your projects.

Remote Environmental Monitoring System (REMS)
Software and hardware you can rely on
REMS is a cutting-edge cloud-based monitoring platform that delivers high quality and reliable data seamlessly in an easy-to-use interface. Manage compliance, set thresholds, monitor performance, receive instant alerts and listen to audio online from your devices to help with complaint investigations.
In order to produce high quality data, REMS uses EPA-approved Class 1 instruments from leading brands. REMS integrates noise, vibration, dust and weather data, and can be tailored exactly to your needs. Pick and choose the equipment you want and what you want to measure with REMS. REMS also supports third-party hardware via API, meaning existing equipment can be fully integrated and thus reduce costs.

Nexus Noise Modelling
How does Nexus help with construction noise?
Nexus is a comprehensive noise management system that offers real-time noise predictions, based on complex data retrieval, through a simple, easy-to-use interface that converts technical data into easily-understandable visual representations and contours.
The system is versatile and can be seamlessly integrated with other operating systems to provide planners and decision makers with a powerful tool that facilitates risk-mitigated long and short term planning as well as adaptive management.
Plan, model, and predict
Nexus Scheduler: Plan out of hours work
Nexus Scheduler is a noise management tool that allows contractors to predict noise impacts instantly, allowing them to plan out of hours work and understand their noise impacts from construction activities. Quick and easy to use, simply drag and drop equipment to see instantaneous noise contours and noise compliance assessment at surrounding houses. Predict noise in both the short term (i.e. hours) and medium term (days and weeks) in advance.
Scheduler allows contractors to schedule planned work, make informed decisions, and export detailed reports. Work up to noise limits and comply with the regulations.
Manage compliance
Nexus Execute: real-time noise management
Nexus Execute is a real-time noise management tool that provides you with a clear understanding of noise emissions. Execute allows you to manage your worksite and see your noise contributions in real-time, meaning you can adapt in real-time.
Nexus is a fully integrated system that utilises operational data (such as GPS, FMS and SCADA), noise monitoring and observed weather data to provide accurate predictions using industry-standard algorithms.
Execute allows you to stay within your noise limits, meaning you can proactively manage your construction site with up-to-date, accurate data from a predictive analytics engine.
