Noise and vibration are significant issues affecting many aspects of society in both the environment and the workplace. The life-changing effects range from general annoyance and sleep disturbances to life-changing physical effects such asnoise-induced hearing loss要么hand-arm vibration syndrome (HAVS)由在危险条件下工作的长期暴露引起的。

元件’s team of experts are members of the Institute of Acoustics (IOA) and the British Occupational Hygiene Society (BOHS). We can provide specialist testing, assessment, and modeling services in all areas of environmental and workplace acoustics with cutting edge equipment and technology. These include:

Noise assessments

元素的环境噪声评估服务利用最先进的噪声建模软件,其考虑住宅和工业项目的气象条件,当地地形等外部影响,提供高度准确的结果。

  • Environmental noise and vibration assessments to support the planning process
  • 环境影响评估(EIA)
  • Environmental permitting support
  • BS 4142:2014 + A1:2019评估
  • 建设和拆迁评估
  • Road traffic, rail, and aviation noise assessments

Acoustic noise modeling

声学噪声建模提供现有和提出的条件的3D模拟,并将两者进行比较以确定环境影响。元素可以提供预测环境影响的视觉噪声轮廓图。

  • Environmental noise and vibration modeling in support of planning applications
  • Noise modeling using Computer Aided Noise Abatement (CadnaA) software

地面振动

Many residential and industrial areas have a legal vibration limit. Construction, demolition activities, railway lines, and busy roads provide a significant vibration impact. It is critical to determine the potential vibration impact on the surrounding areas and structures before any construction or demolition activities commence. Element’s vibration surveys will provide you with certainty that your project remains below the vibration limit.
