Monitoring systems

Air Quality, Dust, Odour, Noise and Vibration

ALS offers extensive capabilities in real-time with continuous environmental monitoring systems. Our widespread experience in long-term monitoring using advanced instrumentation under challenging and remote conditions mean ALS is able to provide robust Air Quality systems information on:

• Gas concentrations
• Dust concentrations
• Odour

Our Noise and Vibration systems provide environmental managers with the data to properly evaluate circumstances ranging from straightforward complaints to complex environmental impact statements. With more than 50 instrument technicians, we have the resources to fulfil all environmental monitoring projects. We are accredited nationwide and our high-quality instrumentation group offers custom designed systems for gas, noise, dust and vibration monitoring. Our services and capabilities include:

Air Quality

ALS has air quality systems that provide environmental managers with the data to properly evaluate circumstances ranging from straightforward complaints to complex environmental impact statements and various other management strategies. ALS designs and supplies a wide range of products for the unattended, long term, continuous monitoring of ambient gas, stack emissions, and soil gas vapour. Our stations can be fitted with a full range of meteorological sensors and be customised for use with a variety of third party analysers.

All ALS monitors are based on quality instrumentation with a proven track record, are versatile and reliable, and are used by government, business and industrial organisations within Australia and around the world.

ALS has a strong record in monitoring Air Quality parameters including:

• Sulphur Dioxide (SO2), Hydrogen Sulphide (H2S) and Ozone (O3)
• Nitrogen Oxides (NOX, NO and NO2)
• Carbon Monoxide (CO) and Dioxide (CO2)

We have completed and currently maintain projects for the mining industry, infrastructure projects, oil and gas industry and industrial operations. ALS provides data that is scientifically valid, of known and acceptable precision, and is legally defensible.When paired with meteorological measurements, ALS is able to produce real-time fume and odour risk maps.

Dust Monitoring

ALS is able to provide, install and maintain integrate depositional gauges, high volume air samplers, TEOMs and Beta Gauge particle samplers. We are able to integrate the automated samplers into or control and monitoring systems to provide continuous real-time data.

When paired with meteorological measurements, ALS is able to produce real-time dust risk maps.

Noise Monitoring

Noise monitoring is becoming an increasingly important parameter for continuous monitoring to monitor the impacts the health and well being of employees and surrounding communities. A variety of noise measurement solutions are available for integration with our systems. We have successfully installed and commissioned several large noise monitoring networks for customers, ranging from simple omni-directional sound level meters for short or long term deployments to fully integrated, directional, continuously recording noise monitors.  

Vibration

ALS designs and supplies a wide range of products for the unattended, long term, continuous measurement of vibration.

Data management

Accurate and reliable data is an essential component in the operation and management of monitoring systems. ALS provides a wide range of data management systems and services to complement its range of measurement devices for the automated, long term, continuous management of data from nearly any system, including weather, air quality, water, wastewater or geotechnical systems.

Customised instrumentation

ALS has extensive experience in the design, fabrication, installation, operation and maintenance of some of Australia’s largest monitoring networks. With qualified instrument technicians able to design instrumentation to meet the requirements of specific projects. Utilising a specialist instrument workshop and ISO9001 accredited quality management systems all systems are designed and built to a high level with repeatable results.
