Our Approach

We follow a rigorous process to deliver accurate, actionable noise assessments tailored to your project’s needs:

Baseline Noise Surveys

• Conduct detailed environmental noise surveys in accordance with ISO 1996, measuring existing noise levels at critical receptor locations.

Predictive Noise Modelling

• Use advanced tools like SoundPLAN to model anticipated noise emissions from proposed developments.
• Assess potential noise impacts using standards such as:
  
  • BS 4142:2014+A1:2019 for industrial and commercial sound.
  • ISO 9613-2:1996 for outdoor noise propagation.
  • ProPG: Planning & Noise Guidelines and Technical Guidance Document E for residential developments.

Impact Assessment and Mitigation

• Evaluate predicted noise levels to identify potential impacts.
• Develop tailored mitigation strategies, such as:
  
  • Optimising site layouts to minimise noise exposure.
  • Designing noise barriers and specifying sound-insulating building elements.

Reporting and Consultation

• Prepare comprehensive noise impact assessment reports detailing findings, methodologies, and mitigation strategies.
• Engage with planning authorities, design teams, and community groups to provide expert guidance and resolve concerns.
