Services
Planning Noise Assessment
We conduct comprehensive noise impact assessments to evaluate site suitability for development. Our experts analyse environmental noise sources near roads, railways, and industry to ensure compliance with planning conditions. Services include BS: 4142 industrial noise assessments and development of mitigation schemes tailored to regulatory requirements.
Real Time Monitoring
Our real-time monitoring systems provide continuous noise level data during events and construction. Remote sensors transmit live readings to mixing desks for immediate adjustments, while manned monitoring stations ensure compliance with licensing conditions. This approach balances audience experience with community noise restrictions for festivals and urban developments.
Noise Exposure Assessments
We help businesses comply with the Control of Noise at Work Regulations 2005 through detailed exposure assessments. Our consultants develop risk assessments, recommend hearing protection, and implement control measures to prevent occupational hearing damage. Services include health surveillance and process optimisation to reduce noise exposure.
Licensing Representation
Our Chartered Environmental Health Officers provide expert licensing support through application advice, regulator liaison, and hearing representation. We develop operating schedules and noise management plans while ensuring compliance with statutory nuisance requirements. This service helps clients navigate complex regulatory frameworks efficiently.
Acoustic Modelling
We use advanced acoustic modelling to predict sound propagation for event planning and development projects. This includes pre-event simulations for festivals and construction noise predictions under BS: 5228 standards. Our models inform mitigation strategies that balance project requirements with community impact considerations.
