Problem Statement

Delhi, has faced severe air pollution issues in recent years. To address this, the Delhi Pollution Control Committee (DPCC) has implemented stringent regulations for construction sites, requiring them to use advanced air quality monitoring systems. These systems must track particulate matter (PM) levels, specifically PM2.5 and PM10, which are particularly harmful to human health.

As a leading construction company operating in Delhi, Varindera Constructions faced the challenge of complying with these tough regulations.

They needed a solution that could:

Provide real-time air quality data: This would allow them to monitor PM levels continuously and identify any potential issues promptly.
Meet DPCC standards: The solution must be accurate and capable of delivering data that meets the strict requirements of the DPCC.
Integrate with a cloud-based platform: This would enable remote monitoring and ensure that the DPCC could access the data easily.

By implementing a suitable air quality monitoring system, Varindera Constructions could demonstrate their commitment to environmental responsibility and avoid potential penalties or legal issues.

Solution - Airveda Construction Pro

Airveda provided Varindera Constructions with a comprehensive air quality monitoring solution. Our Ambient Air Quality Monitor PM2510TH-WP GSM was specifically designed to measure PM2.5, PM10, temperature, and humidity. Equipped with high-precision sensors, these monitors deliver reliable and accurate data.
To ensure seamless compliance with the DPCC's regulations, we directly integrated the data from these monitors into the DPCC's cloud platform. This real-time data stream allowed the DPCC to monitor air quality levels continuously.
For on-site transparency, we installed LED displays that show the current air quality levels in real time. These displays are connected via Modbus, making it easy for everyone on the construction site to stay informed.
To guarantee uninterrupted data transmission, we equipped the AQMs with GSM modules and provided SIM cards. This ensured that air quality data was sent to the cloud in real time, allowing Varindera Constructions to monitor air quality across all their sites.
