Before any new resource project can proceed it is necessary to assess the environmental impacts and clearly demonstrate to stakeholders that emissions can be adequately controlled.
Noise can be a particularly sensitive issue when facilities are located close to communities, and is no longer accepted as a by-product of development. Noise can cause many unpleasant and harmful effects including stress, high blood pressure, sleep loss, lost productivity and a reduction in the quality of life.
Noise issues can be expensive to resolve retrospectively and need to be addressed as early as possible while there is the most flexibility for modification of designs.
Our industrial experience and familiarity with typical noise emissions of equipment enable us to quickly provide feedback on the likelihood of future issues. Being involved early in your design process we can help mitigate noise issues via design improvements and equipment specification.
Key in our expertise is noise modeling and prediction, identification of key noise sources, evaluation and specification of noise mitigation options and management plans.
