What we do
Noise impact assessments for development applications and building approval;
- Noise emitting developments of all types (e.g. child care centres, dog kennels, service stations, car wash, restaurants and bars, entertainment venues, mining, industrial and commercial).
- Noise intrusion to sensitive development (e.g. proposed dwellings near road and rail infrastructure including QDC MP 4.4, aircraft flight paths, or commercial and industrial areas)
Architectural and Building Acoustics Design and Improvement
- Façade design to control noise intrusion, noise breakout, and rain or impact noise.
- Noise and vibration transfer between spaces due to:
- Airborne noise (e.g. speech privacy)
- Impact (e.g. footfall and gym weight drops)
- Vibration (e.g. plant and equipment)
- Room acoustics – design of room geometries and surfaces to enhance a sound field or minimise acoustic defects (e.g. excessive reverberation, echoes, late reflections and colouration of the sound)
Typical applications include:
- Recording and productions spaces from professional studios to podcasting rooms;
- Lecture theatres, conference and meeting rooms
- Office spaces
- Restaurants, bars and venues
- Control of services noise within buildings and emission to neighbours (e.g. refrigeration, pumps, air-conditioning, hydraulic, lifts
- Industrial noise control
- Design and assessment of buildings to meet BCA requirements
- Airborne and impact sound insulation
- Services sound insulation
- Sound insulation testing for walls, floors and facades
- Reverberation time measurements for rooms
- Event noise monitoring
- Peer review of acoustic reports
- Compliance/certification measurements and assessments
- Complaint measurements and resolution
- Legal work
- Education and training
- OHS noise assessments and advice
