Our acoustic consultants work on site to measure and monitor noise and vibration before, during and after the design and construction phases of projects. Measurements are used to inform site selection and scheme design, demonstrate compliance with planning, statutory or voluntary noise and vibration limits, commissioning and dispute resolution.

We use a variety of software tools for computer modelling and analysis to predict and assess the acoustic effects of construction and operational noise and vibration sources in complex and challenging environments. We follow International Standards, guidance and codes of practice where applicable, but also provide expert advice for specialist and challenging applications, such as sensitive healthcare equipment, advanced manufacturing facilities, cultural and heritage buildings and specialist education facilities.
