T  Environmental measurements are a critical stage before the start of any construction project or the demolition of a building.

What are environmental metrics and why are they necessary?

Environmental measurements include collecting data to assess the presence of hazardous substances such as asbestos, heavy metals, lead, as well as measuring vibrations and noise pollution that may occur during the demolition or construction of a project. These measurements are necessary because:

  1. They protect public health. When a building is demolished, materials such as asbestos or lead can be released into the air and create serious health hazards. Measurements detect hazardous substances, allowing them to be safely managed.
  2. Contribute to compliance with legislation. They ensure that the project will comply with all national and international regulations for the protection of the environment and public health.
  3. They assess and control risks. They offer vital information to identify potential hazards, helping to make decisions for the safe implementation of the project.

What environmental measurements are carried out before demolition or the start of projects?

The company Mining offers a wide range of environmental measurements necessary before from the demolition of buildings or the start of any construction project.

  • Asbestos measurements. Detection and quantification of the presence of asbestos.
  • Lead measurements. Analysis of the presence of lead in old paints or other construction materials.
  • Measurements of heavy metals. Detection of heavy metals such as mercury, cadmium, and chromium.
  • Water and soil analysis. Control of soil and water contamination levels to avoid environmental impacts.
  • Sound pollution measurements (or noise measurements). Assessment of noise levels generated by operations and planning to minimize them.
  • Vibration measurements. Recording and analysis of vibrations caused by demolition or construction work, to prevent damage to neighboring structures and ensure the safety of the work.

Vibration Measurements. An important factor for the safety and integrity of structures.

Vibration measurements are essential to control the effects that construction work may have on nearby buildings and infrastructure. Vibrations from excavation, demolition or other heavy construction activities can cause cracks, damage or even collapse in neighboring structures. 

Advantages of environmental measurements before the start of projects

Carrying out environmental measurements before starting a project offers multiple advantages:

  • Safety. Protecting the health and safety of workers and residents.
  • Project planning and management. Providing important information for project planning, reducing risks and delays.
  • Environmental protection. Reducing the potential for environmental damage through the identification and proper management of hazardous substances.
  • Structural integrity. Prevention of damage to neighboring structures through vibration measurements.
