Construction
Noise
Noise generated by construction activities
can be significant and, for large projects, may last for lengthy periods.
This can therefore lead to considerable impacts on adjacent residential properties
or other noise sensitive developments. The impacts may be greater still
if the works must be carried out during ‘out of hours’ during the evening
or night-time, when people are generally more sensitive to noise.
Construction noise calculations can be
undertaken using our powerful in-house acoustic software modeling capabilities.
This allows possible mitigation options to be assessed prior to commencement
on-site and the effects of using different plant/techniques or reprogramming to
be assessed.
We have an extensive database of noise
levels for various types of plant and activities, based on measurements that we
have undertaken during numerous site visits. We are familiar with
construction techniques and can advise on alternative plant and techniques that
may be used to control noise, to reduce the environmental implications of a
noisy work environment.
Acoustic Testing
& Sound Testing
In the
We are experienced in the production and submittal
of applications for the "Prior Consent for Works on Construction Sites"
under Section 61 of the Control of Pollution Act and can provide guidance
on the steps which must be taken to ensure that Best Practicable Means (BPM)
is being operated (acoustic
testing).
Noise and/or vibration monitoring is often
required for construction activities, for example to demonstrate compliance
with noise or vibration limits. We can provide a broad range of
monitoring solutions, which can be tailored to meet the requirements of clients
and the local authority. These may include long-term unattended noise and
vibration monitoring and attended monitoring.
