Abstract
A network of 50 remote noise monitoring stations has been developed New Zealand wide capable of measuring and reporting 1-second LAeq, LA50(15min), LA90(15min), LA95(15min), LAFmax, LAFmin, one-third octave band data and audio recording in real time to a web server. Fifty SMS commands allow such things as remote calibration, remote configuration and diagnostics from a cellphone. This paper describes a recent application of an unattended noise logger and vibration analyser as an adjunct to hand held monitoring at a bridge building project. Some of the technical advantages of remote monitoring are described, and some technical detail of the equipment used is included
