Choose measurements around the work being performed, the conditions at your site, and the records your project requires. Temperature, relative humidity, and dew point can support blasting and coating activities. Wind data adds context for weather-sensitive work, while water level and water quality measurements help document conditions around runoff, drainage, and nearby water bodies. Identify the relevant parameters and monitoring locations before selecting sensors, and review them as the project moves through different phases.

A stand-alone logger can suit locations that staff visit regularly to inspect equipment and retrieve measurements. A remote system is useful when you need access between visits, notifications about changing conditions, or measurements from several locations across a site. HOBOnet connects compatible wireless sensors to a supported RX station for cellular uploads to LI-COR Cloud. Plan the sensors, station, power, network layout, cellular coverage, and data plan together, taking account of site access and changing construction activities.

Temperature, relative humidity, and calculated dew point records can help teams document environmental conditions before and during coating work. Review these measurements alongside coating-manufacturer instructions and the specifications that apply to the project. A logger or compatible remote system can create a continuous record and make changes easier to investigate. Select sensor locations and logging intervals around the work area, and use the measurements together with required surface checks, inspections, and application records.

Monitoring records can support project documentation by showing when, where, and under what conditions measurements were collected. Plan the required parameters, measurement methods, logging intervals, calibration checks, and reporting format around the applicable project requirements. Keep deployment and maintenance notes with the data so reviewers can interpret changes or gaps. Combine monitoring records with the specifications, inspections, and reporting procedures required for your project.
