Noise and vibration during construction are a critical concern for any major development because of the potential effect on nearby businesses and residents. Failure to adequately assess and put in place appropriate control measures can lead to a site being closed down until appropriate management is put in place. Assessment and management of site impacts can distract from the construction in hand. With extensive experience obtained working on some of the most significant construction projects in the UK, we have the capability and competence to assess, manage and monitor noise and vibration impacts so you can focus on construction.

Noise is a major environmental factor when assessing the feasibility of new or modified infrastructure schemes. Assessment of construction and operational impacts is required in accordance with appropriate standards and methodologies. Developers are likely to be required to consider multiple options if the adverse effects of noise on residents and businesses are to be avoided. We believe that a partnership and collaborative approach working a broad range of stakeholders, including developers, contractors and local authorities is the key to ensuring successful infrastructure projects whether road, rail or air.

The acoustics of buildings can be the defining item for a successful development this includes: Residential sound insulation and acoustics to meet the requirements of the Building Regulations or other standard such the Code for Sustainable Homes. Assessment of the local noise environment on noise levels in response to National Planning Policy as presented by local authorities. Advice typically on layout and building facades to meet appropriate conditions for residents or workers - BS8233 and WHO standards are normally applied.

Airports are significant economic generators but they can also have impacts on local communities. Noise remains the single most significant local environmental concern and is considered the biggest inhibitor of growth. Management of this issue is about more than decibels - it is about balance, context, communication and consideration of wider sustainability issues.

Environmental noise assessment appies to all developments where there is the potential for a noise impact to arise on others from your project or if there may be a noise impact arising for your development from existing environmental sources that are not part of your scheme.
