How we work

One consultant, start to finish.

You deal directly with the person who measures your site and signs your report.

  1. Scope

    Send us the site, the plant and any planning condition. You get a fixed-fee proposal with a clear scope.

  2. Measure

    Attended and unattended surveys with Class 1 sound level meters, logged weather and audio recording.

  3. Model and assess

    SoundPLAN modelling where the site needs it, hand calculations where it doesn't.

  4. Report

    A concise report written with the Environmental Health Officer in mind, with mitigation that can be built.

Noise modelling

Grid noise maps in 3D.

3D noise models show how sound from plant and yard activity spreads across a site, where buildings and barriers screen it, and where mitigation is needed.

Drag to look around this example, switch between day and night, or raise the surface to see the levels as a landscape.
