SiteBreathe
Cleaner air through smarter site response
SiteBreathe combines calibrated particulate sensing, short-term dust prediction and adaptive suppression to help construction teams manage air quality proactively.
From monitoring dust to acting on it
Urban construction sites operate close to homes, schools and busy streets. Conditions can change quickly as plant moves, materials are cut or the weather shifts.SiteBreathe is conceived as an environmental management system that combines real-time PM2.5 and PM10 measurements with prediction, alerts and targeted suppression.
Project overview
Lead: Bellacet Ltd
Duration: 10 months
Focus: Construction technology
Location: United Kingdom
Readings alone do not prevent exposure
Conventional monitors can confirm that dust has already risen, but site teams need earlier and more localised guidance to prevent an exceedance.The project explores how calibrated sensors, activity data and weather conditions can be interpreted together to forecast risk and trigger an appropriate response.
A closed loop for site air quality
Measure
Rugged calibrated sensing provides continuous PM2.5 and PM10 visibility.
Predict
AI models identify likely dust events from site activity and changing conditions.
Respond
Adaptive misting, alerts and compliance records support proportionate action.
Practical environmental control
SiteBreathe will develop the sensing, communications and control logic needed for reliable operation in a demanding construction environment.The system is intended to support site managers with clear decisions, not simply more dashboards. Suppression should be targeted, efficient and responsive to the actual source of risk.That approach can improve local air quality while strengthening evidence for responsible site management.
