Noise Surveys

Planning Noise Surveys

• Conducted in compliance with ISO 1996, our planning noise surveys assess baseline environmental noise levels to support planning applications for projects such as:
  • Residential developments.
  • Energy generation facilities (e.g., peaking plants, solar farms, and wind farms).
  • Industrial sites and data centres.
• Using tools like SoundPLAN, we model noise propagation and provide detailed reports addressing potential noise impacts, ensuring a smooth and efficient planning approval process.

Environmental Noise Surveys for IEL Compliance

• Annual noise surveys are essential for industrial facilities operating under an Industrial Emissions Licence (IEL).
• Adhering to standards such as EPA NG4 Guidance Note for Noise, we measure boundary and noise-sensitive location noise levels and assess compliance with regulatory conditions.
• Our services include detailed reporting and recommendations to address any areas of non-compliance proactively.

Occupational Noise Surveys

• Performed in line with The Safety, Health and Welfare at Work (General Application) Regulations 2007, these surveys evaluate employee exposure to workplace noise.
• Using personal dosimetry and area monitoring, combined with Noise at Work software, we map noise levels across facilities and identify high-risk areas.
• Comprehensive reports include mitigation strategies to protect employee health and maintain compliance with workplace safety standards.

Acoustic Testing

Post-Construction Acoustic Testing

• We provide extensive acoustic testing services upon project completion to validate design performance and compliance with relevant standards, including:
  • Airborne Sound Insulation Testing: Conducted per ISO 16283-1 and ISO 717-1, evaluating the effectiveness of walls, doors, and partitions in preventing sound transmission.
  • Impact Sound Insulation Testing: Performed in accordance with ISO 16283-2 and ISO 717-2, measuring footfall and other impact noise on floors and ceilings.
  • Reverberation Time Testing: Using advanced equipment, we measure and optimise reverberation times in key spaces such as meeting rooms, restaurants, and communal areas.
  • Noise Rating (NR) Testing: Verifying that internal building services meet acceptable noise criteria based on ANC Guidelines.

Testing for Noise Control Solutions

• For industrial and commercial projects, we test and validate the performance of implemented noise control measures, such as acoustic barriers and enclosures, to ensure they meet the intended design criteria.
