Environmental noise assessment, noise impact reports & noise monitoring is an essential part of planning applications. Our experience with British Standards & noise planning enables us to identify potential noise impacts within the environment, apply appropriate sound criteria & recommend noise mitigation strategies for your project.
Noise modelling, or ISO 9613 noise dispersion modelling, is a noise mapping software used within environmental acoustics to predict the effect of road, rail or industrial sources on new or existing dwellings. Development layout, earth bunds and acoustic fencing can all be predicted in advance enabling you to understand the affect of noise across the site.
Building acoustics, whether your project is a simple flat conversion or a major commercial development, getting the sound insulation design 'correct from the start' is essential. We can assist in achieving sound insulation design to meet the Approved Document E (2003) testing guidance, your reverberation targets or BREEAM and BS8233 interior ambient noise levels.
Sound Testing was introduced in 2003. Developers must provide Building Control with an Approved Doc E (ADE 2003) sound testing certificate to demonstrate that the sound insulation is met for new semi-detached, or terraced homes, conversions, historic buildings & rooms for residential purposes. We are accredited & fully insured South West sound testers, providing sound testing in Devon, Cornwall, Somerset, Dorset and the UK.
