Allegro Acoustics supports utilities, network operators and their design teams to manage noise risk on the assets that keep the country running, from transmission and substations to water and wastewater infrastructure.
Utility assets are long-lived, highly visible and operate close to communities. Noise is one of the most common grounds for objection and complaint.
Infrastructure projects attract scrutiny. Noise and vibration assessment that stands up to An Bord Pleanala and third party review protects the consent programme.
Transformers, pumps and standby plant generate tonal noise that carries. Complaints are costly to resolve after commissioning and easier to design out beforehand.
Utility assets rarely come offline. Surveys, modelling and any physical noise control must be delivered around continuous operation and strict access control.
Decisions taken at design stage govern noise performance for decades. Getting the acoustic criteria right early avoids expensive retrofit later.
Baseline noise surveys, predictive modelling and the noise and vibration chapters of Environmental Impact Assessment Reports, prepared to withstand scrutiny during consenting.
Assessment and control of transformer tonal noise, cooling plant and switchgear, including compliance against planning conditions and community noise limits.
Noise assessment and control for pumping stations, treatment works, blowers and standby generation, where plant frequently sits close to residential boundaries.
Where a noise problem needs solving rather than reporting, we design, supply and install the acoustic solution and verify it in place. Silencers, enclosures, barriers and damping, delivered on live sites.
One of Ireland's most significant electricity infrastructure projects, strengthening the transmission network between Ireland and Northern Ireland to improve security of supply, network resilience and the integration of renewable energy.
Our engineers are used to operational constraints, permit systems and access control on energy and utility sites, so surveys happen without disrupting supply.
Where a problem needs fixing, we design, supply and install the solution and verify it works. Few consultancies carry that capability, and it removes the gap between advice and outcome.
Infrastructure consents attract objection and review. Our assessments are prepared to be defensible in front of regulators, planners and third party experts.
