EMSOL Enabled City of London to Reduce NO2, PM10 and PM2.5 by over 50%
The City of London Corporation has consistently delivered innovative initiatives to improve air quality and Walbrook Wharf was one of their key initiatives. Walbrook Wharf is a large waste transfer site right on the Thames, just east of Southwark Bridge. However, they had some challenges with pollution.
A series of pollution challenges
The City of London Corporation faced several challenges:
- High pollution from surrounding roads
- Frequent HGV access to the site compounding the pollution problem
- The site had poor ventilation leading to a build-up pollutants
- Concerns about the air pollution exposure of workers on the site
- No way to identify specific pollution vehicles and fix the problem
Current air pollution monitoring solutions were not working
The City of London Corporation deployed multiple indoor and outdoor monitoring solutions to gather data and develop a plan.
The problem was that all of these systems were not real-time, so there was no high-resolution information about when breaches were occurring. There also was no information about which specific vehicles were responsible. Even after all of these investments and collaborations, they were unable to identify specific, polluting vehicles.
That’s where EMSOL came in. Read the rest of our story with City of London Corporation.
“The EMSOL platform has enabled us to track
the vehicles causing breaches and which parts of the facility
we need to manage more closely.”

These insights enable the council and contractor to take targeted action in mitigating the environmental impact of the site and pinpoint specific problem assets or
