Bedrock AM100 — Long-Term Acoustic Monitoring System for Environmental Noise

The Bedrock AM100 is a professional acoustic monitoring system designed for long-term unattended environmental noise measurement in outdoor and semi-outdoor environments. It combines continuous noise monitoring capability with remote data access, automated reporting, and event detection to support environmental permits, construction site noise management, industrial facility compliance, and infrastructure project noise assessment.

Long-term noise monitoring is required in a growing number of regulatory scenarios: construction projects in noise-sensitive areas, industrial facilities with permit conditions, wind farm and infrastructure projects, urban planning environmental impact assessments, and noise enforcement investigations. The AM100 provides the measurement infrastructure for these applications, with robust weatherproof construction suitable for extended outdoor deployment.

Key Capabilities

• Continuous long-term noise monitoring — unattended operation over weeks or months
• Remote data access via network connection — view data and reports from any location
• Automated statistical and trend reporting — Leq, LAeq, Lmax per time interval
• Lden, Lnight, Lday calculations per ISO 1996 and EU Environmental Noise Directive
• Event detection — automatic flagging of noise events exceeding configurable thresholds
• Audio recording associated with detected events — for source identification and evidence
• Weatherproof construction for year-round outdoor deployment

Applicable Standards and Applications

• ISO 1996-1 / ISO 1996-2 — environmental noise description and measurement
• EU Directive 2002/49/EC — Environmental Noise Directive, Lden and Lnight indicators
• Construction site noise monitoring per local regulatory requirements
• Industrial facility environmental permit compliance monitoring
• Infrastructure projects (roads, railways, wind farms) — construction and operational phases
• Urban noise mapping and environmental impact assessment support

AM100 vs i-Series for Long-Term Monitoring

For permanent or semi-permanent monitoring stations requiring continuous unattended operation with remote access and automated reporting, the AM100 is the purpose-built solution. For medium-term deployments (days to weeks) where an engineer installs and retrieves the instrument, the i10 or i9 with data logging is more flexible.

Data Access and Reporting

The AM100 provides remote access to live and historical measurement data via a web browser or dedicated software — no specialist software installation required for routine data review. Automated reports can be scheduled daily, weekly, or monthly and delivered by email in PDF or CSV format, making it easy to fulfil permit compliance reporting obligations without manual data extraction. The event-triggered audio recording feature allows reviewers to listen back to the sound that caused a threshold exceedance, supporting source identification and dispute resolution without requiring a site visit. All data is stored locally on the AM100 as well as uploaded to the remote server, ensuring no data loss if the network connection is temporarily interrupted.
