Background
SRL is one of the most accomplished acoustic and vibration consultancies in the UK. During our 44 years in practice we have been involved in many major developments in the UK and worldwide. We bring this experience to all of our work.
Our capabilities range from planning, performance prediction, design, inspection, troubleshooting, measurement and commissioning. More latterly we have increased our capabilities from the core technology of noise and vibration to air tightness, fire testing and consultancy and BREEAM assessments.
We work for a wide range of clients throughout all branches of industry: architectural; construction; building services; planning; industrial; environmental; and transport. We are not tied to any other company and therefore give independent advice.
We have offices in London, Manchester, Suffolk, South Africa and Dubai. These enable us to service our clients efficiently. At our headquarters in Suffolk we also have an acoustic and airflow test laboratory. Most of our test work is done under the accreditation of a UKAS quality assurance system.
With nearly 50 staff we can cope with the largest projects and work to our clients’ often tight timescales. 85% of our work is repeat business, which shows the close relationships and reputation we develop with our clients.
Our ‘tools of the trade’ include the latest measurement equipment and computer modelling programs. Not only can we graphically represent noise, such as with noise mapping, but we can also reproduce it so that clients can hear what it will sound like once the building is finished. We are also committed to writing in jargon free, plain English. These have proved to be a great help to those not familiar with our technologies.
