01
Stay inside permit conditions
Limits are set per project in the platform and judged on the same 24-hour averages the authority uses. You see how far each station sits from its limit before an exceedance becomes a notice.
Dust Monitor by GCEEC
Continuous dust monitoring for every site you operate.
GCEEC supplies, installs and commissions the monitoring stations. The platform turns their readings into live dashboards, threshold alerts and the compliance reports your environmental permit asks for, without a technician visiting the site to collect data.
- PM1 · PM2.5 · PM10 · TSP
- Alerts evaluated every 30 seconds
- PDF, XLSX and CSV reports
- Multi-site, multi-user
Built for
- Construction & infrastructure
- Quarries & crushers
- Cement & ready-mix
- Ports, bulk handling & logistics
- Oil, gas & petrochemical
- Mining & aggregates
- Municipal & free-zone authorities
Why industry needs it
Dust is the most visible emission on any site, and the easiest to be fined for.
Environmental permits in the UAE and wider GCC routinely require particulate monitoring at the boundary of earthworks, crushing, batching and material-handling operations. Periodic grab sampling shows one hour of a month. Continuous monitoring shows all of it, and proves what happened when a complaint or inspection arrives.
02
Act while the dust is still in the air
A rule that holds for the duration you set fires an alert to the dashboard and the channels you choose. The site team can wet down, pause a crusher or close a gate in minutes, not after the weekly report.
03
Answer complaints with data
Every reading is time-stamped and kept per device. When a neighbour, consultant or inspector asks about a specific afternoon, you export that window in seconds instead of reconstructing it.
04
Protect the workforce
PM2.5 and PM10 are the fractions that reach the lungs. Hour-of-day and day-of-week analytics show which activities drive exposure so controls go where they matter.
05
Cut the cost of reporting
Monthly reports are generated from stored readings in the GCEEC environmental monitoring format, with charts, compliance tables and annexures, and can run on a schedule so they are ready before they are due.
06
One view across many sites
Group or main-contractor HSE teams see every station on one map and one dashboard, with user accounts scoped to their own company. Add a site by registering a device, not by starting a new system.
Consultant and software from one party. GCEEC is an authority-approved environmental consultant.
The same team that sizes and positions the stations, commissions them and interprets the results also prepares the
submissions, so there is no hand-off between the people who collect the data and the people who defend it.
Platform modules
What the platform does, screen by screen.
Seven modules share one data store. A reading that arrives from a station is on the dashboard, in analytics, checked against alert rules and available to reports within the same minute.
01 · Dashboard
Live site status at a glance
Each station has a header card with battery, signal, firmware and open alerts, followed by one tile per metric showing the current value, a sparkline of the last 40 readings and how far it sits from its limit.
- Live particulate chart for PM2.5, PM10 and TSP together
- PM2.5 band share: readings in the last 7 days split into good, moderate and over-limit
- Last 24 hours hourly and last 7 days daily averages, alerts fired per day and data completeness
- Telemetry log with CSV export, in UAE local time
- PM1 / PM2.5µg/m³, fine fraction
- PM10 / TSPµg/m³, coarse and total
- Temp · RH · kPaon-board weather module
- GPS · battery · signalstation health
02 · Analytics
Find the pattern behind the number
Analytics works on 24-hour, 7-day, 30-day and 90-day windows across all stations of a company, so the question changes from "what is the reading" to "what on this site is producing it".
- Particulate trend with period-over-period change and peak PM2.5 with its timestamp
- PM2.5 heatmap by day and hour, hour-of-day profile and weekday pattern
- Daily range and distribution bins with the applicable standard marked
- Fine-to-coarse ratio to separate combustion and traffic dust from construction dust
- Compliance against 24-hour standards, data availability, alerts by rule and device comparison
- Meteorological conditions from the station's own temperature, humidity and pressure sensors
03 · Alert rules & alerts
Rules you write, enforced every 30 seconds
An alert rule is a metric, an operator, a threshold, a hold duration and a severity. The alert engine evaluates every enabled rule against the newest reading of every station on a 30-second cycle. When a condition holds for the duration you set, an alert opens; when it clears, the alert resolves itself and the whole episode is kept.
- Metrics: PM1, PM2.5, PM10, TSP, temperature, humidity and battery
- Severities: info, warning and critical, with a badge count in the navigation
- Device-offline rule when a station goes silent for longer than allowed
- Delivery channels per rule: dashboard, email, SMS and webhook
- Acknowledgement records who responded and when

04 · Reports
Regulator-ready documents, on demand or on a schedule
Choose the stations, the period and the format. PDF gives a summary with charts, compliance tables and alerts in the GCEEC environmental monitoring report layout. XLSX and CSV include every reading for your own analysis or for submission to a client system.
- Generated in the background; the file appears in the list when ready
- Daily, weekly or monthly schedules add a new file each run, in UAE local time
- Report history stays available until you delete it
- Per-device annexure sheets with limit charts for multi-station projects
05 · Map view
Every station on one map
Stations are placed by the coordinates they report or by a position you set. Markers carry the station's status, so a regional HSE manager sees which sites are online, in warning or in critical without opening each one.
- Satellite, street and terrain base maps
- Status legend: online, warning, critical and offline
- Site overview panel with open alerts and a click-to-focus device list
06 · Devices & users
Administration and access
Devices are registered to a company with a serial, a name and a location. Users belong to that company and see only its stations, alerts and reports. GCEEC registers each station and issues the user accounts, so a new site is ready to view on the day it is installed.
- Readings module with filterable history per device
- Settings for alert rules, report defaults and account details
- Secure sign-in with password reset; access is provisioned by GCEEC
Compliance and reporting
Judged the way the authority judges it.
Compliance in the reports is assessed on 24-hour daily averages against the standard configured for the project. The defaults follow the ambient air quality limits commonly applied in the UAE, and GCEEC sets project-specific limits where a permit, an EIA condition or a client specification requires them.
- 35µg/m³PM2.5 · 24-h average
- 150µg/m³PM10 · 24-h average
- 230µg/m³TSP · 24-h average
- Alert thresholds and report standards are independent, so a site can be warned at 50 µg/m³ while reporting against 35
- Compliance-versus-standard chart shows device-days within and above each limit
- Data availability is reported alongside the results, as inspectors expect

From enquiry to first report
Hardware, installation and software from one supplier.
Dust Monitor is sold with the stations, not as software alone. GCEEC's monitoring team handles siting, commissioning and calibration checks, and remains the consultant of record for the project.
- 1
Site assessment
We review the permit conditions, the activities on site, prevailing wind and sensitive receptors, and recommend the number and position of stations.
- 2
Supply and install
Stations are delivered, mounted, powered and connected. Each is registered to your company account with its own key pair before it leaves our hands.
- 3
Configure and train
Limits, alert rules, channels and report schedules are set to your project. Site and HSE users receive their logins and a short walkthrough.
- 4
Operate and report
Readings flow continuously. Reports generate on schedule, and GCEEC prepares the periodic submissions where the project requires an approved consultant.
Common questions
Before you ask for a demonstration
Can we connect dust monitors we already own?
In many cases, yes. GCEEC reviews the make and model of the existing monitors and, where they can be connected, registers them to your company account. For monitors that only output serial or Modbus data, GCEEC can supply a gateway.
Who owns the data?
You do. Readings, alerts and reports belong to your company account and can be exported in full as CSV or XLSX at any time. GCEEC accesses the account only as your consultant and with your authorisation.
How many sites and users can one account hold?
There is no fixed ceiling. Group accounts with stations across several emirates and dozens of users run on the same installation. Users see only the stations and reports of their own company.
What happens when a station loses connectivity?
The device-offline rule opens an alert after the silence you configure, and the dashboard header shows the last sync time. Data availability is reported alongside the readings so gaps are visible rather than hidden in an average.
Does the report satisfy our environmental permit?
The PDF follows the GCEEC environmental monitoring report format we already submit for clients across the UAE. Where the authority has a specific template or requires an approved consultant's stamp, GCEEC prepares and signs the submission from the same data.
