Considering spring and summer are short seasons in Maine, roadside construction needs to be efficient in their hard efforts so their work would have longevity. Knowing the temperature and having the ability to alarm on it is important for the maximum <a title="Best Practices for Asphalt Paving" href="http://www.lrrb.org/apg/bestpractice.htm" target="_blank">effective compaction of pavement</a>.<span id="more-2268"></span></p>
<p>Temperature and humidity sensors will allow construction companies to keep track of peak temperatures and how humid the conditions are. For example, some <a title="Temperature probes in road construction" href="http://www.ravica.com/blog/environmental-monitoring/the-winding-road-ravica-probes-used-in-road-construction/" target="_blank">road construction companies</a> need the outside temperature and humidity of the paving units to always below 89 degrees. This can easily be done by setting a threshold on the water proof temperature and humidity sensor to 89 degrees. Once the threshold breach you can have a siren and strobe light connected to the sensors alarm. This alerts anyone around that the temperature or the humidity breached 89 degrees.</p>
<p>Since most road units have small modular buildings used to manage the project it is perfect to put a BitSight2 in the unit. The BitSight2 will connect to a network and allow temperature and humidity monitoring and trending.</p>
<p>If you work for a road construction company and are interested or just have questions, please leave comments below and I can provide answers.</p>

It sends out alerts for temperature, humidity, smoke, gas, water etc., via email or syslogs and that is fine and good.</p>
<p>I have a suggestion.  For $125.00 we can add a <a title="siren and strobe light sensor" href="http://www.ravica.com/products/is_siren.php">strobe light and audible alarm</a> device to your BitSight or SecurityProbe.</p>
<p>If you leave it in the data room, no one will see or possible hear it.  If you put it in the hallway like we did, it will catch everyone’s attention when something goes on.</p>

<p>If something goes wrong in our data room.  Everyone will know!</p>
