Introduction

With increasing concerns around dust emissions from construction activities, PMC introduced detailed technical specifications mandating the deployment of sensor-based air quality monitoring systems at all eligible construction sites. These guidelines are aimed at ensuring continuous monitoring, real-time visibility, and regulatory transparency in dust management practices.

Key PMC requirements include:

  • Continuous PM monitoring across sites
  • Wi-Fi–enabled data transmission for real-time access
  • PM₁₀-based LED dust severity updates every 15 minutes
  • Transparent air quality data for regulators
  • Readiness for routine calibration to maintain accuracy

As a PMC-approved provider, Airveda Technologies Pvt. Ltd. partnered with Godrej Properties to deploy a fully compliant monitoring and dust severity system at their Pune site, ensuring timely compliance and improved on-site dust management.

Problem Statement

Construction dust is a significant contributor to urban air pollution. To address this, PMC mandates that construction sites must:

  • Continuously monitor PM₂.₅, PM₁₀, temperature, and humidity
  • Use laser-based light scattering technology meeting defined accuracy standards
  • Ensure Wi-Fi connectivity as the primary mode of data transmission
  • Provide API-based real-time data access to PMC’s Central Dashboard
  • Install LED dust severity displays based on 15-minute running PM₁₀ averages
  • Maintain a minimum of six months of local data backup via SD card

Non-compliance can result in enforcement actions, making rapid, accurate, and PMC-aligned implementation critical for developers.

Solution – Airveda’s PMC–Compliant AQI & Dust Severity Monitoring Setup

Airveda delivered an end-to-end PMC-aligned solution, tailored to Godrej Properties’ site requirements.

Deployment Overview

  • PMC-approved Airveda PM2510TH-EYE-SD air quality monitor
  • Laser-based light scattering technology
  • Integrated temperature and humidity sensing
  • Wi-Fi–first connectivity with secure API-based data transfer to PMC servers
  • 1 ft × 1 ft LED dust severity display Signal with Green, Yellow, Orange, and Red indicators
  • IP65-rated outdoor enclosure for harsh site conditions
  • SD card–based internal memory ensuring zero data loss
  • Web dashboard and mobile app access for client and authorities

Sensors were installed at the recommended 3–5 metre height on the downwind side of the site, while LED displays were placed in locations clearly visible from outside the site, ensuring maximum visibility and compliance with PMC placement guidelines.
