Case Study: MTA achieves construction noise monitoring with Specto Technology’s AutoSLM-SC

MTA monitors Queens Midtown Tunnel noise with Specto Technology’s AutoSLM-SC during a 4-year, $236.5M rehabilitation

The Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA) faced a challenge with noise pollution from two concurrent overnight construction projects rehabilitating the Queens Midtown Tunnel. The work had a potential environmental impact on the surrounding residential area, and the MTA needed to monitor the magnitude, type, and source of the construction noise. To address this, they turned to Specto Technology for a monitoring solution.

Specto Technology implemented its AutoSLM-SC system, which provided a fully automated data-to-desk solution for environmental noise monitoring. The solution delivered unique sound level data and captured audio clips to identify specific noise sources. This allowed the MTA to effectively monitor and limit the impact of the construction noise on the local community.
