T he summer season in Greece brings with it particularly intense weather conditions.

In particular, high temperatures and prolonged drought directly affect the operation of technical projects. Therefore, construction companies must adapt their strategy to the new data in the field. Maintaining proper and legal working conditions is now an imperative. For this reason, environmental site measurements are the most critical tool for every modern construction site.

Dust, noise and vibrations. The challenges of summer.

During the summer, the soil loses its moisture. However, excavation and blasting operations continue unabated. As a result, engineers face three key factors that require constant monitoring:

  • Airborne dust. Dry soil is easily converted into fine dust. Furthermore, the wind carries these particles over long distances.
  • Acoustic propagation (noise). High temperatures and dry air alter the speed and direction of sound.
  • Ground vibrations. The dryness of the ground affects the propagation of shock waves from heavy machinery.

The imperative need for legal operating conditions

Every major technical project must comply with the approved Environmental Terms (AEPO). At the same time, Greek and European legislation impose strict limits on noise and dust emissions.

EXORIXI S.A. helps companies to meet these requirements accurately. In particular, the environmental site measurements we perform offer:

  1. Valid data. We use only calibrated, high-fidelity instruments.
  2. Legal protection. We provide official technical reports that prove the project's compliance with the DIN 4150-3 standard.
  3. Continuous monitoring. We install measuring stations that operate continuously under the hot summer sun.

Modern telemetry equipment 

Technology now offers immediate solutions for monitoring these parameters. Specifically, our company installs autonomous vibration and noise measurement stations on the construction site.

These stations have built-in 4G/5G telemetry systems. Therefore, they send measurement data directly to your office in real time. The system also sends automatic alerts (alarms) when values ​​approach the maximum permissible limits. In this way, project managers take immediate measures before any exceedance occurs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What do construction site environmental measurements include? 

They include the continuous recording of ground vibrations (through geophones), the measurement of noise levels (through special microphones) and the recording of suspended dust particles in the atmosphere.

What is the importance of measurements during the summer months? 

In the summer, dust increases due to drought, while noise and vibrations propagate differently. The measurements ensure that the project operates legally and within the limits of environmental licensing.

How is the validity of noise and dust measurements ensured? 

Validity is ensured by the use of certified instruments that undergo annual calibration, as well as by the signing of reports by specialized engineers.

The successful completion of a project during the summer requires responsibility and proper planning. Finally, environmental site measurements are not a formal obligation, but the guarantee for the smooth progress of your work. EXORIXI S.A. remains your leading ally, offering the necessary know-how and the most reliable equipment on the market.
