Air Monitoring and Personal Gas Detection Support Safe Excavation at One of Australia’s Tallest Buildings
During Stage 1C basement excavation at one of Australia’s tallest buildings, an environmental consultancy was responsible for managing risks tied to the site’s former use as a gasworks while protecting workers operating underground in confined spaces. Continuous monitoring was required for a range of toxic gases, as well as visibility into oxygen levels and exhaust-related hazards at both the site and worker level.
To meet these requirements, the team implemented a layered monitoring approach that combined Aeroqual’s fixed environmental air monitoring solution with Ventis® Pro5 personal gas monitors from Industrial Scientific. This approach provided real-time visibility into changing air quality conditions across the site, while also delivering direct insights into worker exposure in the breathing zone, supporting faster response when conditions changed.
In this case study, you’ll learn:
How layered monitoring helps improve visibility across confined space environments
Why worker-level gas detection is critical alongside site-wide monitoring
How real-time data can drive faster decisions and reduce exposure risk
A real-world example of identifying and mitigating a carbon monoxide hazard
