Environmental Noise Monitoring for Construction & Infrastructure in Asia

Norsonic noise monitoring systems are deployed on construction sites, metro tunnel projects, airport developments, and industrial facilities across Malaysia, Singapore, Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam, UAE, and Saudi Arabia for real-time authority-compliant monitoring, exceedance alerting, and automated reporting.

Construction Site Noise Monitoring

  • Continuous logging of LAeq, Lmax, Lmin, L10, L50, L90, L95 at 1-minute intervals
  • Real-time exceedance alerts via NorCloud — email and SMS on threshold breach
  • Audio event recording triggered by Lmax exceedances — evidence for authority and neighbours
  • Automated PDF and Excel reports formatted for authority submission (weekly or monthly)
  • Instruments: Nor145 for temporary deployments; Nor1545 for long-term or permanent installation

Types of Environmental Noise Projects

  • Urban construction: deep excavation, tunnelling, and demolition in dense residential areas
  • Infrastructure projects: metro rail lines, expressways, bridges, and airport expansion monitoring
  • Industrial fence-line: factory and power plant boundary noise compliance with permit limits
  • Airport perimeter: aircraft noise contour monitoring and community complaint management
  • Road and highway: long-term traffic noise assessment for barrier design and EIA reporting
  • Quarry and mining: blasting vibration and noise impact assessment at nearest sensitive receptor

NorCloud Data Management Platform

  • Web-based dashboard accessible from any device — no software installation required
  • Real-time LAeq time history and Lmax event list with audio playback
  • Configurable alert levels per time period (daytime, evening, night)
  • Multi-station network view — manage up to hundreds of monitoring points from one account
  • Export data in CSV, Excel, and standardized formats for third-party analysis

Regional Regulatory Standards

  • ISO 1996-1/2: Environmental noise
  • IEC 61672: Class 1 accuracy
  • Singapore BCA/NEA code
  • Malaysia DoE guidelines
  • Thailand PCD standards
  • Vietnam QCVN 26
  • UAE Federal Law No. 24
  • Saudi Arabia GAMEP
  • Philippines DENR
  • Indonesia KLHK

Case Studies

  • Metro construction, Kuala Lumpur — 24/7 tunnelling monitoring with 6× Nor1545 stations; zero authority exceedance notices across weeks of continuous operation; real-time NorCloud alert notifications to contractor and authority
  • Airport access road, Manila — baseline noise survey and EIA reporting using Nor145 with GPS and NorCloud
  • Hospital zone, Bangkok — construction noise managed below WHO healthcare facility limits throughout project duration
