π΄ Events
With SiteHive Enviro Pro you can investigate and explain onsite events easily, in real time. The events feature provides you with a clear summary of events to show you exactly what's happening on site, detailed images, mapping and audio to identify causes, innovative AI technology that classifies noise to save time and a comprehensive system of records.
Where to set up events π
- Log in
- Navigate to the top menu bar and click 'Settings'
- Look underneath your site name to the second menu bar and click 'Rules'
- You can create your own custom rules or utilise the 'quick rules' we have set up
Rules
Events are generated by rules, which are user-specified thresholds created in the settings section. A rule typically features a parameter (e.g. sound level), a threshold (e.g. 65dB) and a time of day (e.g. 7am-6pm). When creating a rule, users can specify if a rule will generate thresholds only or events.
'Thresholds Only' will generate a threshold line on the Dashboard and Reporting graphs that serve a purely visual purpose.
A rule that is configured to 'Generate Events' will record every instance where data from your site exceeds that threshold, and store that instance as an 'Event'.
Managing events
- All events are stored in the Events tab, where they can be investigated and categorised as 'Reportable' or 'Non-Reportable' exceedances.
- Users can classify events into custom categories like 'Non-project related traffic' or 'windy conditions.'
- The events page filters allow easy access to specific time periods, rules, aspects (e.g. noise or dust), and monitoring points for focused analysis.
- Categories help describe common event explanations under Reportable and Non-Reportable headings for monthly reporting.
- The explanation field allows users to add specific comments for each event.
- Events are now organised by day and rule, making batch investigation and explanation efficient, especially for multiple events triggered by the same cause.
The 'Investigate' button provides contextual information for the exceedance, including images, audio, direction of arrival data, and vibration waveforms. This simplifies on-site event investigation, whether in real-time or during month-end reporting.
Events on dashboard
Events appear on the dashboard for real-time investigation.
Clicking an event bubble displays details such as the rule that triggered it, the exceeded measurement. and any associated media for quick on-the-fly investigation and explanation.
Reporting events
Events is a key feature to incorporate into end-of-month reporting.
Events can be included, reportable, non-reportable, or both, in SiteHive generated PDF reports. This makes it easy to account for and report exceedances of site thresholds.
Details of the exceedance, including the category and explanation are included in the PDF.
Attended Measurements
SiteHive Enviro Pro includes the SiteHive Attended App, which allows onsite measurements to be captured, analysed and reported instantly. Record field measurements for water, noise, dust, vibration and odour.
Add contextual images and weather data. Report on trends over time and between locations.
How to add attended measurement
- Click 'Attended' on the top menu bar
- Next look to the second menu bar underneath your project name and click the 'Attended Monitoring' tab
- Click the '+Add attended measurement' button
- Select the attended measurement
- This will take you directly to a form allowing you to manually enter the data from this measurement
Add additional details with notes
We have a dedicated section called 'Notes' that offers customisation options directly from the main dashboard under settings.
This feature allows you to include additional details that may not be captured in the original form. By editing the Notes section in settings, you can specify the text that will automatically appear each time in the Notes field. This eliminates the need for manual entry on every occasion.
For instance, when measuring noise levels, you may want to include information about the terrain type and the distance from site activities. By editing these details in settings, they will be automatically populated in your form every time, saving you time and ensuring consistency.
Upload files
In the notes section, you can easily add files or images to the attended monitoring points. This handy feature lets you have visual evidence alongside your data.
Generating a PDF
In Attended Monitoring, you also have the option to generate a customised PDF of your data.
This can be tailored based on the aspect and date range you choose.
Visualise your data with graphs
We also provide a graph feature, that presents Attended Monitoring results in a clear and concise graph format. This feature enables easy comparison of trends over time and across different locations, allowing you to gain valuable insights.
You can conveniently filter locations and compare parameters on the graphs.
How to install the Attended App via Safari
iPhone:
Open Safari and login to SiteHive. Navigate to the Attended monitoring page and click the Share icon (middle icon that is a square with an arrow pointing out) on the tool bar, as seen below:
Scroll down and press 'Add to Home Screen'. (Click the plus button [ + ] )
The SiteHive home shortcut will add to your phone - making it easier to access Attended Monitoring.
How to install the Attended App via Chrome
iPhone:
This is how to use the SiteHive attended app if Safari is not available on your phone.
βGoogle Chrome must be installed before and SiteHive login details saved in the browser.
On your device, search for Shortcuts and open the application.
Once the app is open, click the plus ( [+] ) button to use the search bar and type 'Open URL in chrome'.
Click the link 'Open URLs in Chrome'.
Next, open Google Chrome and copy the link for the Attended monitoring page and paste it in the URL section in shortcuts.
Rename the link and then add it to your Home Screen.
Stakeholder View
Positive stakeholder and community relationships are critical for smooth project delivery. Transparency in project performance can help foster these relationships.
SiteHive's stakeholder view is designed to help with exactly this - giving stakeholders and the community a view into how environmental impact is being managed.
The Stakeholder View provides a high level overview of data from site, averaged at a higher level (e.g. 1 or 3 hourly averages) than the raw measurements (e.g. 1 or 15 minute averages), and delayed by 1 day. Each Aspect (Noise, Dust, Vibration) has its own dedicated page.
Each page shows clear summary statistics for the selected period at the top, then detailed graphs for each monitoring device below. The default time selection is the last 30 days, but users can select other time periods (except for data from that day).
How to share with stakeholders
To allow stakeholders to access this information simply press the share button at the top right of the page.
βΉοΈ After the link is generated it is valid for 3 months.
This brings up a modal with a link that can be copied and shared:
When people access the link they aren't required to login, so anyone with the link can see the Stakeholder View.
However, they can only see the Stakeholder View unless the user logs in to SiteHive and will then be able to see other pages.
What is shared can also be configured, with a range of options including:
- Which devices are included
- Whether the summary stats are shown
- Options for graphs, and what is included on graphs (e.g. thresholds, out of hours periods etc)
Benefits of stakeholder view:
- Makes it easier for project teams to keep stakeholders informed
- Should save time in answering queries by providing greater transparency which will lead to better stakeholder relationships
Advanced Reporting
Unlock the power of customised reporting with SiteHive Enviro Pro, allowing you to tailor reports to your needs. These reports can showcase weather details, highlight out-of-hours periods on graphs, provide a comprehensive events list, display device statistics (via stats cards and daily averages tables), and offer attended reporting.
SiteHive recognises the importance of generating reports in project management and provides a variety of features, including periodic reports for weekly/monthly/quarterly insights, point-in-time reports for specific time/location details, and attended reports summarising in-person monitoring sessions using the SiteHive Attended App.
PDF reports can be generated from Reporting > PDF Reports in SiteHive Enviro:
Periodic reports
Periodic reports are the most comprehensive report type and are typically used for generating a report for any number of devices/locations, over periods of time from a week to 6 months.
Reports are generated for one aspect (noise/dust/vibration) at a time.
Periodic reports have a range of configurations available when you generate the report, including whether the report should contain:
- Device List and Map: List of all selected devices and map showing their locations
- Stats Cards: Cards highlighting key stats for the period, typically averages/maximums depending on the aspect
- Telemetry Graphs: Graph per device/location, with configurable options including averaging period, showing thresholds, weather affected and/or out of hours periods
- Device Details: List of devices, showing make, model, calibration status etc
- Attended Monitoring: Summary of all attended monitoring undertaken in the period
Your configuration settings will be saved automatically, so each time you come to generate a report the settings will be the same as last time.
ποΈ Point in time reports
Point in time reports are a quick and easy way to generate a one page summary to show what was happening at a specific date/time/location across your site.
Typically done retrospectively, and often in response to complaints (e.g. someone reckons there was loads of construction noise yesterday).
This report allows you to select a specific device out on site, and time, with the report then containing both context data (e.g. graph of data for the whole day), and specific results from that time (e.g. noise levels, images), and add your own commentary on site activities etc that may have been occurring.
Attended reports
Taking attended noise, water, dust, vibration and odour measurements allows a subjective expert assessment of site conditions, complementing a site's continuous real-time monitoring.
These measurements often need to be turned into more formal reports, including adding a range of contextual details along with the captured measurements.
SiteHive automates this entire process, significantly streamlining the whole attended monitoring workflow.
Teams can use the SiteHive Attended app on their mobile devices while in the field. This allows the instant capture of all key data, which is then immediately available in SiteHive.
ο»ΏEach record in the Attended Monitoring Table now has a PDF button at the far right. Clicking this button generates a PDF document of that attended monitoring result. PDFs are generated whenever the button is pressed, allowing edits to the detail of the form to be undertaken at any time, including adding additional details or attaching relevant files.
Each PDF is formatted to fit a single page and includes information that is captured automatically, including weather at the time of monitoring, and location.
The results section shows the compliance status clearly and breaks down the component results captured.
Any attached images are also shown, creating a complete and easy to understand record for the project.
