Industrial Noise Assessment

Existing or proposed industrial developments can have a big impact on surrounding residential areas and a noise impact assessment or and industrial noise survey is usually required, either at the planning stage, or as a result of noise complaints. BS4142:1997 Noise impact assessments / noise survey / noise tests are normally requested by a Planning Officer or Environmental Health Officer due to concerns of increased noise from proposed mechanical noise e.g. Fans, Air Conditioning Systems, Generators etc. applied for in a planning application to the local authority (Council). We can offer a fully integrated service of noise measurement, mitigation and management for industrial and mineral extraction sites. Commercial developments that include retail, offices, sports/leisure and distribution operations can have very different requirements. Where commercial activities are planned adjacent to noise sensitive receivers, appropriate mitigation measures need to be incorporated from the outset.
