Environmental Monitoring For Construction: A Focus on Water Management

In the realm of construction, environmental risks are a significant concern. One key aspect of managing risk on construction projects is water management, which is crucial in ensuring the sustainability and safety of construction projects. This post will delve into construction environmental monitoring, focusing on the water aspects of construction monitoring and how Kairos Water's advanced solutions can help manage these risks.

The Importance of Water Monitoring in Construction

Construction sites can be left unoccupied for periods, making them prime targets for costly water damage. A key to preventing excessive water damage is a fast notification of a water release. A job site without a monitoring system could be subject to days of water discharge, leading to enormous losses and schedule delays. This is where the importance of construction environmental monitoring comes in.

A recent study revealed that water leak detection devices could reduce water leak claims by up to 96% and claim severity by as much as 72%. These devices include active and passive monitoring systems. Passive devices sense a predetermined level of water, humidity, or temperature and provide alarms or alerts on a local or remote basis. On the other hand, active monitoring systems combine alert notifications with electronic or mechanical shutoff actions of the water itself.
