Industrial Noise/Installation Noise

In addition to traffic noise, we also calculate noise disturbance from industries, wind power plants, etc. We adapt our work to your needs and deliver a report including proposed actions followed by a dialogue. We collect data and/or measure the real pre-conditions and model your environment using this input data.

In urban environments, people are often disturbed by installations such as fans, pumps, cooling machines, etc. In most cases, the installations are run by someone else, limiting possibilities of making the machine quieter. In these cases, the projects are usually driven by the Environment and Health Administration, which places demands on the property owner to conduct sound measurements.

In large cities, there may be many installations in the some courtyard or roof which all contribute to non-compliance with sound requirements. With our measuring equipment, we can verify which installation makes the greatest contribution to the disturbance.

We deliver easy-to-understand reports with educational illustrations with action proposals adapted to the project for meeting official requirements.
