Acoustic engineering and noise control for data centres, power stations and energy infrastructure

Allegro Acoustics helps contractors, developers and project teams deliver compliant data centre and energy projects through acoustic modelling, practical noise control strategy and experienced engineering support from planning through to commissioning.

What you’re dealing with

As a contractor leadership team on a hyperscale or energy project, acoustic risk can surface late and hit hard. Here are the challenges we solve every day.

Programme risk from redesign

Acoustic issues discovered late in the programme force costly redesign cycles. Barrier walls get relocated, louvre sizes change, duct routing is reworked, all because the noise model was wrong or never done properly.

Over-engineering costs

Without precise modelling, the default response is to over-specify, thicker barriers, heavier enclosures, more attenuation than needed. That excess directly erodes your margin on every package.

Commissioning failure

If the acoustic strategy is flawed, commissioning verification fails. That means remedial works, programme delays, and strained client relationships, all under time pressure with liquidated damages looming.

Regulatory surprise

Planning conditions, EPA licence limits and local authority requirements can blindside a project team. We ensure you understand the full compliance landscape before groundworks begin.

Accurate acoustic strategy protects margin and programme

A small consultancy package delivers large financial impact. Our engineering-led approach means every recommendation is precise, practical and buildable.

Planning Noise Assessments

We prepare noise impact assessments and environmental noise surveys that satisfy planning authorities, EPA requirements and An Bord Pleanála conditions, ensuring your planning application is robust and defensible from the outset.

Acoustic Modelling

Detailed 3D acoustic modelling of your facility, cooling plant and generator compounds. We model noise propagation across the site and to sensitive receptors, identifying issues before they reach site, not after.

Industrial Noise Control Strategy

We design targeted mitigation, barrier walls, acoustic louvres, enclosures, silencers and duct lagging, that meets compliance without over-engineering. Every specification is buildable and costed to protect your margin.

Commissioning Verification

We verify compliance at commissioning through rigorous on-site testing against planning conditions and EPA licence limits. Our reports are audit-ready and defensible, giving you certainty that the project will close out cleanly.

Allegro Acoustics performed detailed acoustic testing for multiple industrial gas turbine power plant projects in Ireland. They were flexible to schedule around site and weather constraints, with professional reporting of results.
