Environmental Noise & Vibration Impact Assessments
Studies for permits, planning, and peace of mind.
Overview
What we do
We conduct studies to evaluate the potential noise impact from sources such as industrial facilities, transportation systems, construction activities, and recreational events, while assessing compliance with local, national, and international noise regulations and standards.
Approach
How we work
Impact studies
Evaluating the potential noise impact from industrial facilities, transportation systems, construction activities, and recreational events, and the impact of ground-borne vibrations on nearby structures and sensitive receptors.
Baseline measurements
Establishing baseline measurements of existing noise and vibration levels in a given area before the introduction of new developments or activities.
Ambient monitoring
We use specialized equipment to measure and monitor ambient noise levels and ground-borne vibrations over time, identifying sources and assessing their contributions to the overall environmental impact.
Predictive modeling
Utilizing computer models to predict the potential noise and vibration impacts of proposed projects or activities before they are implemented.
Mitigation design
Recommending and implementing measures to control or mitigate noise and vibration emissions, such as sound barriers, vibration isolators, and engineering controls.
Permits and community
Assisting clients in understanding and complying with relevant noise and vibration regulations and permitting requirements, while engaging local communities to understand concerns and share clear information.

FAQ
Common questions
Industrial facilities, transportation systems, construction activities, and recreational events, plus ground-borne vibrations affecting nearby structures and sensitive receptors.
Measurements of existing noise and vibration levels in an area before new developments or activities are introduced, so change can be quantified objectively.
Yes. We utilize computer models to predict the potential noise and vibration impacts of proposed projects or activities before they are implemented.
Measures such as sound barriers, vibration isolators, and engineering controls, selected for the specific sources and setting.
Yes, we assist clients in understanding and complying with relevant noise and vibration regulations and permitting requirements.
We assess the potential health effects of prolonged exposure to elevated noise and vibration levels on nearby residents and workers.
