About the Client

Birla Estates, a subsidiary of the Aditya Birla Group, is a leading player in India’s real estate landscape. With a strong portfolio of premium residential and commercial projects, the company is known for combining innovation, sustainability, and a customer-first approach. Birla Estates has successfully executed multiple projects in Mumbai, including high-profile developments such as Birla Vanya (Kalyan) and Malabar Hill (Walkeshwar), showcasing their versatility and commitment to excellence in construction.

The Challenge

During the construction of their flagship projects in Kalyan and Walkeshwar, Birla Estates faced significant challenges related to dust pollution. Construction-generated particulate matter (PM) not only posed serious health risks to site workers but also had the potential to affect nearby communities, resulting in complaints, negative publicity, or even regulatory action. Maintaining compliance with air quality standards and ensuring a safe, productive environment on-site became a critical need.

Key challenges included:

Real-time visibility of dust levels

Risk of respiratory issues among workers

Potential for community disruption and fines

The need for accurate, reliable, and automated air quality data

The Solution

To tackle these challenges head-on, Birla Estates adopted Oizom’s Dustroid Smart device through its technology partner. The Dustroid Smart is a cutting-edge air quality monitor engineered for high-accuracy particulate matter (PM) tracking at construction sites. It simulates human breathing patterns to ensure representative sample collection and delivers dependable, real-time data.

Key features of the solution:

Real-Time Monitoring: Air quality data is updated every 5 minutes and accessible via the intuitive Envizom platform

Smart Data Management: Automated data collection and storage through Envizom eliminates manual processes and ensures data integrity

Expandable Capability: Optional gas sensors can be integrated to detect other harmful pollutants, providing a more holistic environmental overview

With the Dustroid Smart in place, Birla Estates could now take preventive actions the moment air quality declined—such as pausing dust-generating work or activating dust suppression systems.

The Result

The implementation of Dustroid Smart has significantly enhanced Birla Estates’ ability to monitor and manage air quality on-site. With reliable and accurate data delivered through the Envizom software, their teams can remotely track pollution levels and take swift action when necessary.

Benefits realized by Birla Estates:

Increased accuracy in PM monitoring

Improved decision-making through real-time insights

Cloud-based access to data for remote monitoring and compliance reporting

Healthier, safer work environments aligned with their sustainability goals

By choosing Oizom’s Dustroid Smart, Birla Estates reinforces its reputation as a forward-thinking developer committed to environmental stewardship, employee safety, and community well-being.
