Trusted Acoustic Consultants for Noise and Vibration Solutions
Established in 1990, we are a fully independent team of acoustic consultants dedicated to resolving noise and vibration control issues through prevention or cure. Our Director-led teams deliver high-quality services across aerospace, construction, environmental, and public sectors, leveraging over three decades of experience. We specialise in environmental impact assessments, noise data acquisition systems, and compliance with the Environmental Protection Act. Our BS EN ISO 9001:2008-certified quality management system ensures rigorous standards in all projects, from airport noise monitoring to vibration analysis in healthcare facilities. With offices in Staines-upon-Thames and Edinburgh, we provide tailored solutions for clients ranging from major airports to private individuals.Our expertise extends to acoustic modelling, building services design, and expert witness services for planning appeals. We maintain cutting-edge instrumentation for noise surveys and predictive modelling, ensuring accurate mitigation strategies for both existing and potential noise issues. Our commitment to innovation is demonstrated through partnerships with industry leaders in loudspeaker design and automated testing environments. With a focus on practical, cost-effective solutions, we address challenges from road noise to aerospace acoustics, supported by a robust understanding of regulatory frameworks and technical standards.

Services
Acoustic Modelling
We create detailed environmental noise models using advanced software to predict sound propagation patterns. Our geo-acoustic modelling identifies noise impact hotspots for airports, industrial sites, and urban developments. This enables precise mitigation strategies through barrier design, source control, and zoning recommendations.
Airport Noise Monitoring
We design and maintain continuous noise monitoring systems for UK airports, tracking aircraft movements and environmental impact. Our solutions include real-time data acquisition, noise contour mapping, and mitigation strategies for residential areas near flight paths.
Vibration Analysis
Our vibration testing services assess building structures and mechanical systems to identify resonance issues and transmission paths. We provide mitigation through isolation mounts, damping systems, and structural modifications for both industrial and residential environments.
Environmental Impact Assessment
We conduct comprehensive EIAs for planning applications, focusing on noise and vibration effects from construction, industrial operations, and transportation infrastructure. Our reports include predictive modelling, mitigation plans, and compliance strategies for regulatory approval.
Building Acoustics
We design acoustic environments for auditoria, schools, and healthcare facilities, balancing sound insulation with optimal acoustic performance. Our services include room acoustics design, noise break-out prevention, and compliance with building regulations for both new constructions and refurbishments.
