Here you can view examples of our capabilities and some of the services we provide.
Noise & Vibration Monitoring
We supply attended and unattended noise & vibration monitoring options from a range of audio enabled Class 1 sound level meters and tri-axial vibration monitors fitted with GSM modems for trigger alerts & remote access.
- Vibration Monitoring
- Noise Monitoring
- Remote Access, SMS & Email alerts
Acoustic Assessments & Planning
Planning authorities may require a noise/vibration assessment as part of the planning process. We advise applicants, agents and authorities on noise in the context of relevant policy across England & Wales.
- Acoustic Assessments
- Noise & Vibration Report
- Acoustic Reports: BS 8233, BS 4142
Acoustic Software Modelling
Software modelling allows the user to evaluate a variety of calculation-based options for a range of theoretical scenarios. Our extensive library of calculation software allows us to identify any mitigation requirements quickly and in detail.
- SoundPLAN®
- Odeon A/S
- INSUL™
Acoustic Design of Buildings
The design of rooms for specific uses is driven by an understanding sound will behave in a space based on its geometry and the absorptive effects of the different surfaces
- Sound Insulation
- Control of Reverberation
- Speech Intelligibility
Construction Noise & Vibration
Noise from construction/demolition sites can give rise to complaint which can be avoided by calculating the cumulative levels from multiple sources and applying suitable mitigation.
- Noise & Vibration Monitoring
- Cumulative Level Prediction
- Best Practicable Means
Occupational Noise Exposure
The Control of Noise at Work Regulations place a series of duties on employers and employees designed to ensure legal limits on exposure are not exceeded.
- Workplace Noise Assessment
- Identifying Hearing Protection Zones
- Personal Hearing Protection (PHP)
BREEAM
BREEAM is a credit-based assessment system for buildings which may be used for education, healthcare, residential & non-residential use (such as office, industrial & court buildings).
- Suitably Qualified Acoustician (SQA)
- Hea 05 Acoustic Performance
- Pol 05 Reduction of Noise Pollution
Transportation Noise
The primary noise source affecting residential premises in the UK is transport noise which is considered where a new scheme is proposed or new development is to be located nearby.
- Calculation of Road Traffic Noise
- Calculation of Rail Noise
- Design Manual For Roads and Bridges
Entertainment Noise
Noise control for concerts involves setting limits and carrying out sound propagation tests prior to the event so levels can be set & controlled from the Front of House.
- Sound Propagation Tests
- Event Monitoring
- Licence Applications
Ground & Structureborne Vibration
Sound is a form of vibration, although vibration is usually interpreted as being either groundborne or structureborne. Vibration may also be re-radiated as audible sound.
- Vibration Measurement
- Construction/Demolition Vibration
- Vibration Exposure/Cosmetic Damage
Industrial Sound & BS 4142:2014
Commercial/industrial sound is assessed using BS:4142, for the purpose of investigating complaints, or where a industrial/commercial sound may impact new or existing dwellings.
- Investigating Complaints
- Assessment of Impact
- Click for information on BS4142
Noise Control Engineering
Noise Control Engineering is concerned with limiting the level of sound transmitted by a source by taking into account the mechanisms by which it is produced and transmitted.
- Fans and Ventilation Systems
- In Duct Attenuation
- Silencers, Louvres and Exhausts
