Defence

Over the years we have worked on various Defence projects throughout the UK. In some locations, our work was classified but less sensitive schemes we have been involved with include helping with the acoustic design of new accommodation blocks, reviewing noise and vibration from large plant/equipment installations, designing operation/control rooms and protecting facilities from aircraft noise break-in. We are familiar with working to both British and American acoustic standards.

New accommodation blocks

Our input has generally comprised:

  • Surveying environmental noise levels at the site.
  • Completing an acoustic design review to determine whether the current design does or does not meet the relevant acoustic criteria.
  • Providing advice to the design team including input into all relevant tender and construction packages.
  • Attending design team meetings and regularly inspecting the build to check acoustic aspects.
  • Delivering pre-completion acoustic compliance testing.

Specialist plant/equipment installations

Some projects have involved facilities containing specialist items of plant or equipment which presented noise and/or vibration challenges. Our input has usually been suggesting design changes to mitigate the issues.

Operation/Control rooms

With facilities serving this function, noise break-in, privacy between spaces, building services noise levels and reverberation time are key factors to consider, particularly where the spaces are large and open plan.

Noise control from aircraft

Some of the buildings we have been involved with are in close proximity to military aircraft. We have experience of façade design to control break-in to sensitive assets where external noise levels are extremely high.

Firing ranges

To determine the viability of sites for use as firing ranges, we have carried out noise surveys and impact assessments. Our conclusions have then contributed to their layout and design.

Naval vessels

We have worked on various types of vessels, providing input relating to acoustic attenuation of diesel engines and generators, along with noise and vibration levels generally.
