We support projects across planning, construction, industry, and occupational health, ensuring full compliance with relevant regulations and standards.
With in-house expertise in noise control engineering, mechanical vibration analysis, structure-borne sound, and environmental acoustics, we provide reliable, actionable advice for every stage of your project—from planning consent to operational compliance.
Our Noise Consultancy Services
Environmental Noise Assessments
Planning-stage environmental noise surveys and reports compliant with BS4142, BS8233, WHO, and ProPG. Ideal for residential, commercial, and industrial developments.
BS4142 Industrial Noise Assessments
Objective assessments of industrial and commercial noise impact on surrounding communities. Reports designed to support planning submissions and mitigation strategies, including for structure-borne sound transmission.
Construction Noise & Vibration Monitoring
Baseline surveys, Section 61 applications, real-time site monitoring, and mitigation guidance for both small- and large-scale construction projects. We assess airborne and structure-borne noise from construction machinery and activities.
Occupational Noise Surveys (Noise at Work)
Noise exposure assessments for compliance with Control of Noise at Work Regulations 2005. Includes measurement, risk evaluation, and mitigation of both airborne and structure-borne noise exposures in complex work environments.
Sound Insulation Testing & Acoustic Design
Pre-completion sound tests and acoustic design for buildings in line with Building Regulations Part E. Our services address both airborne and structure-borne sound paths, such as impact noise through floors and building elements.
Noise Modelling and 3D Mapping
Predictive acoustic modelling for planning and EIA support. Visualise sound propagation using 3D maps for greater transparency in public consultations. Includes consideration of structure-borne transmission where relevant.
Vibration & Ground-Borne Noise Assessments
Evaluate impacts from rail, construction, and mechanical plant sources. We offer expert vibration isolation and structure-borne sound control design for sensitive receptors and building services.
Expert Witness & Legal Support
Independent expert advice and reporting for appeals, disputes, and legal compliance in environmental or workplace noise cases, including structure-borne noise disputes in buildings and shared walls/floors.
