Case Study: Laing O’Rourke manages noise and dust across rail upgrades with SiteHive

Laing O’Rourke - Customer Case Study

Laing O’Rourke faced the challenge of proactively managing noise and dust impacts across a 100km stretch of rail upgrades in NSW, where pinpointing the exact cause of environmental events was difficult due to proximity to highways and sensitive communities. They partnered with vendor SiteHive to implement a monitoring solution using the SiteHive Hexanode Multi device and Enviro Pro software.

The SiteHive solution provided real-time, continuous monitoring of noise, dust, vibration, and weather, all integrated into a single dashboard. This allowed Laing O’Rourke to quickly identify that many exceedances were unrelated to their work, leading to a massive reduction in community respite costs from 110 vouchers to just 10 on a weekend, saving thousands of dollars and paying for the system many times over.
