AVT has an in-depth understanding of current legislation and practices necessary to establish acceptable Environmental Noise Levels. Advice can be given on measures needed to achieve noise limits including technical and commercial aspects both at planning stages and for resolving existing problems. Projects have ranged from noise from public houses affecting the neighbours to industrial plant noise to noise from entire power stations.
At the planning stage we can assist by undertaking assessments to:
During the design phase, we can assist by modelling noise emitted from the plant on the site. We allow for location of the noise sources, size and distance to receiver positions in order to predict the likelihood of noise nuisance. Having created the models, we can then, if necessary, derive practical noise control solutions in order to mitigate the problem.
Once the development is complete, we can assist by undertaking surveys of the actual site noise in order to produce:
We are able to assist with new development impact studies, existing problem investigations and noise abatement noise investigations.
