Services

Façade Sound Insulation Design
Insulation Against External Noise

From one studio flat to large multi-use development, we optimise all elements of a building's façade and ventilation method(s) to provide our clients with cost-effective noise mitigation for every single room. Unlike one solution that is a blanket "back of the envelope" approach that results in over-specification which leads to higher costs, we provide our customers with the ability to compare each ventilation and façade sound insulation scheme and control their cost of materials.

Commercial/Industrial Noise Impact Assessments (BS 4142)
From commercial kitchen extracts to entire industrial estates

BS 4142 noise impact assessments, noise mitigation recommendations and noise control specifications to meet local authority requirements.

Sound Insulation Testing
Measured soundproof performance

Field measurements of airborne and impact sound insulation performance covering:
Building Regulations 2010 Part E (Approved Document E)
Building Bulletin 93
British and International Standards:
BS EN ISO 140
BS EN ISO 16283
BS EN ISO 3382
BS EN ISO 717

Nuisance and Abatement Notices
Independent Investigations and Expert Advice

An independent investigation is the first step towards taking or stopping legal action with respect to a noise/vibration nuisance or an abatement notice under Part III of the Environmental Protection Act 1990. We undertake independent investigations with scientifically precise instruments to obtain measurements and form substantive assessments. Our service provides you with high quality evidential reports and expert advice.

Sound Insulation Design
Soundproofing indoor spaces

Sound insulation between flats is critically important when securing Building Regulations compliance. Our services can encompass sound insulation prediction, architectural and/or construction drawing reviews and providing detailed floor, wall and corresponding junction drawings with material specifications. 

Vibration Impact Assessments and Monitoring
Protecting people and property

Gymnasia, railways, construction sites, residential, mechanical services equipment and more.

Noise Modelling and Mapping
Visualising spatial noise levels

Noise prediction models help understand the noise levels over large areas of land - from homeowner gardens to industrial sites and national infrastructure schemes.
