Environmental acoustics include the measurements and analysis of noise and vibration in the environment.
These noise and vibrations measurements in the environment are performed to enable mediation and mitigation of all types of environmental noise and vibration sources, ranging from transportation and industrial sources to outdoor entertainment facilities.
In this field we can perform the following activities:
noise monitoring
vibration monitoring
noise barrier design
site suitability studies
environmental impact analysis
applications for site plan approval
aircraft an ground transportation planning
ground borne and structure borne vibrations assessment
analysis, mediation and mitigation of environmental noise sources
Site surveys can be performed to determine the noise levels at the boundaries.
Diagnostic tests can be conducted to determine the primary noise and vibration source(s). Resulting noise levels can be compared to local, provincial or federal requirements. Geonoise can help you to evaluate whether the noise could or should be considered annoying. Predictions can be carried out to determine if the noise radiated from stacks, openings or external equipment can contribute to excessive noise.
For construction sites or outdoor activities we can assist in determining the noise levels resulting from the operation of various construction equipment and supply guidance on the optimum noise control approach.
Controls can be applied to the construction equipment or by means of barriers.
