Construction site noise as Internet of Things (IoT) - Schulhausplatz Baden

On August 18, 2018, the redesigned schoolhouse square in Baden will be officially opened after a 3-year construction period. During the entire construction period, Grolimund + Partner operated the corresponding noise monitoring

Construction site noise as Internet of Things (IoT) - Schulhausplatz Baden

The measurements were an important tool for monitoring and minimizing construction noise, for preserving evidence (how great was the disturbance really at that time), and for communication.
The measurement results were automatically evaluated and continuously published on the Internet. The core of the evaluation was the identification of highly disturbing events as a function of traffic noise exposure. Thanks to this method, which was specially developed for the project, it was possible to document the disturbing effects of the construction site in a simple and transparent manner. The method has proven itself and will certainly be further developed in new projects.
