Mobile air quality measuring unit in a commercial vehicle

Junta de Andalucía – Empresa de Gestión Medioambiental, S.A.

Areas of Activity: Environmental Quality

Sectors of Operation: Air Quality

 

 

Ensuring compliance with applicable regulations, and with the aim of facilitating rapid and safe movement, this project was for the supply of a mobile laboratory/workshop equipped with the necessary accessories to carry out the function of multi-parameter air quality measurement.

In keeping with the client’s needs, the project included the phases of design, manufacture, commissioning and legalization of the mobile unit, which was delivered to the client in fully operative condition and ready to undergo the periodic regulatory tests.

The unit manufactured is finished to a high degree, making it a model prototype for this type of application. It is also notable for the solutions provided, different from those available on the market.

Functionality: the unit can be used on any terrain, with stabilizers and steps fitted on the vehicle’s chassis. The workshop and office space allows two people to work in absolute comfort. The inner climate is guaranteed and optimized, even with extreme outer temperatures. Every space in the vehicle was studied and made use of for cabinets for storing accessories and parts.

Versatility: the design of instrumentation racks and facilities, both inside the unit and on the outside, provide operational flexibility and versatility in measuring tasks, depending on the service to be carried out. Compliance with specific measuring requirements is ensured in all cases.

The mobile unit concept caters for various scenarios, and quick deployment and ease of conversion were key factors in the choice and optimization of this format.

Safety: Adasa treated the mobile unit as a workspace in which the safety of the staff using it and of third parties is an overriding factor. Occupational health and safety are combined with vehicle traffic safety.

Moreover the concept involved a sealed exterior and restricted access, even with measuring work in progress, thereby ensuring that the unit may be used in public places with no risk of third-party interference.
