Environmental Noise Modelling

We have extensive skills and experience in relation to modelling of road, rail and industrial noise sources. We use leading proprietary acoustic modelling software, i.e. Brüel & Kjaer Type 7810 Predictor, which allows detailed 3D models to be generated.

The use of a computer based noise model lends itself to ongoing evaluation of proposals and provides output that is detailed and extensive.

Assessment of Environmental Noise

AWN is uniquely positioned to carry out detailed assessments of the impact of environmental noise on sensitive receptors. We have the capability to assess both existing noise sources and predict the impact of future noise sources on the environment. Our engineers use their in-depth knowledge of Irish, British and International standards to determine appropriate limit values and the extent of any impact.

In the event that limit values are exceeded, AWN provides detailed advice with respect to practicable and cost effective means to control the noise impact.

Technical reports present the results of the assessment along with clear and concise recommendations for mitigation measures.

In addition, our experienced team is available to provide evidence as expert witnesses if required.
