Importance of Monitoring Systems

A properly installed and maintained tunnel monitoring system is crucial for ensuring the safety and well-being of tunnel users, operators, and nearby populations. Vehicle emissions contain harmful gases and can create smog, impacting visibility, while water drainage can discharge pollutants into nearby water sources, harming the ecosystem.

Road and tunnel projects are subject to strict standards and planning approval conditions, and environmental regulatory compliance requires expert knowledge of advanced air quality monitoring equipment and approved testing procedures and methodology. Norditech specialises in the design, installation, and maintenance of all leading brands of tunnel sensors, providing turn-key solutions and maintenance services to cover all regulatory air monitoring requirements. Norditech’s environmental monitoring expertise includes continuous emission monitoring systems (CEMS) of ventilation stacks, in-tunnel air quality monitoring, portal emissions monitoring, and community-based ambient air quality monitoring stations.
