Effective dust-monitoring at construction and remediation sites can reduce impacts to receptors. At AirLogics, we provide short-term, high-performance air monitoring systems designed specifically for real estate, demolition, and construction use. Our Dust Sentry devices help project teams track site emissions in real time and stay ahead of potential concerns beyond their boundaries. Both systems are ideal for managing airborne particulates where site perimeter awareness is critical. Our clients rent these systems when precision, speed, and flexibility are needed most.
Why Perimeter-Based Monitoring Makes Sense
Construction and demolition activities release dust and airborne particles that may extend beyond the project footprint. While activity inside the site is controlled, monitoring the perimeter gives a more complete view of the impact. Our systems are placed at key boundary points—not deep within the site—so clients can better observe air quality as it relates to the surrounding area.
This approach helps companies remain proactive. Real-time insights allow for timely adjustments to operations, such as reducing certain activities during high wind periods or identifying specific events that may be driving up particulate levels. By placing monitors in the right location, the right data reaches decision-makers quickly.
With AirLogics equipment, project managers gain site-specific data they can rely on. This information helps teams respond early, manage activity smarter, and ensure better outcomes for nearby environments.
Systems That Adapt to Your Site Setup
AirLogics supplies mobile, modular units that fit real project timelines. The AQS‑1 and Dust Sentry systems are lightweight, portable, and ready for short-term deployment. We offer full training to every client and provide support during setup to ensure monitoring starts smoothly.
Our team understands the pace of fieldwork, so our solutions are designed to be operational within hours—not days. Units can run on battery, solar, or power line sources, offering flexibility across different environments and locations.
Both systems are easy to manage using our mobile interface. Once installed, teams can monitor air data continuously without disrupting day-to-day operations.
Technical Strength Built Into Every Unit
The Dust Sentry is engineered with a pumped airflow system that keeps dust and impurities from building up on sensor components. This flow also supports filters that protect sensor health, which means longer life and more stable readings.
For particulate data, the Dust Sentry uses a nephelometer by Met One Instruments. It’s known for durability and performance in outdoor settings. It pairs with a built-in heater to reduce the effect of humidity—an issue that affects low-cost sensors but is managed here by design.
With both systems, reliability comes not just from sensor quality but also from the way each component is engineered to handle field conditions. From calibration to airflow control, every detail supports consistent, real-world performance.
Self-Correcting Accuracy That Keeps You Informed
Sensor accuracy can change over time due to outside conditions. That’s why AQS‑1 features Automatic Baseline Correction, adjusting its internal readings every 60 seconds. This helps eliminate common errors like drift and cross-interference, keeping the data steady even in variable site conditions.
AirLogics uses certified reference gases during both factory and field calibration. These match the same standards used by advanced analyzers, so you can trust the data you’re receiving every day.
Accuracy is only valuable when sustained. That’s why both systems are built with the long-term reliability needed for even short-term projects.
See Data in Real Time—No Waiting
One of the biggest advantages of AirLogics Llc’ equipment is access to real-time air readings through our mobile platform. You don't have to wait for lab results to know what's happening. Whether you need data on PM2.5, PM10, it’s all available at your fingertips.
This rapid feedback is especially useful for urban and high-traffic project sites, where every detail matters and timing is everything.
Users can configure alerts, visualize trends, and export reports directly from the platform, ensuring both transparency and control.
Short-Term Monitoring Without Long-Term Obligation
AirLogics is built around temporary projects. We rent Dust Sentry devices for short-term periods, supporting environmental contractors, real estate developers, and construction teams. You only keep the equipment as long as you need it.
This approach is cost-effective, especially for clients who need flexible, short-duration coverage. Whether it’s a few days or several weeks, we provide the right tools for the job—when and where they’re needed.
We provide setup, guidance, and training to ensure every team is ready to track results with confidence. After the project is complete, the system is returned—no permanent hardware, no long contracts.
In Ending:
When it comes to reducing impacts to off-site receptors from dust, AirLogics provides the data you need with the reliability you expect. Our Dust Sentry units are engineered to perform, backed by tested calibration, and built to deliver results in real time. These aren’t just monitors—they’re practical, site-ready tools that help you stay informed.
