Description
Summary:The negative impacts of construction activities can be controlled and reduced through identification of environmental aspects and impacts of construction activities, implementation of the mitigation measures and site monitoring on a regular basis e.g through surveillance in the framework of the Environmental Management System (EMS).Continuous improvement efforts towards traditional methods and increased needs for factual information and productivity in the environmental monitoring field have been met with latest innovations in mobile information and sensory technology options. This paper through literature aims to review the traditional and technology based surveillance on construction site.Conclusions are drawn about how those methods complement each other and create the possible implementation of emerging mobile information technologies for environmental surveillance at the construction sites.
