Noise and vibration are significant issues affecting many aspects of society in both the environment and the workplace. The life-changing effects range from general annoyance and sleep disturbances to life-changing physical effects such asnoise-induced hearing loss或者hand-arm vibration syndrome (HAVS)由长期暴露在危险条件下工作。

Element’s team of sound testing experts are members of the Institute of Acoustics (IOA) and the British Occupational Hygiene Society (BOHS). We can provide specialist noise testing, assessment, and modeling services in all areas of environmental and workplace acoustics with cutting edge equipment and technology. These include:

Noise assessments

Element’s environmental noise testing services utilize state-of-the-art noise modeling software, which considers meteorological conditions, local terrain, and other outside impacts in residential and industrial projects, providing highly accurate results.

  • 环境噪音和振动评估以支持计划过程
  • 环境影响评估(EIA)
  • 环境的permitting support
  • BS 4142:2014+A1:2019评估
  • 施工和拆除评估
  • Road traffic, rail, and aviation noise assessments

Acoustic noise modeling

声学噪声建模提供了现有条件和建议条件的3D模拟,并比较两者以确定环境影响。188金宝搏手机端元素可以提供预测的环境影响的视觉噪声轮廓图。

  • 环境的noise and vibration modeling in support of planning applications
  • Noise modeling using Computer Aided Noise Abatement (CadnaA) software

地面传播振动

Many residential and industrial areas have a legal vibration limit. Construction, demolition activities, railway lines, and busy roads provide a significant vibration impact. It is critical to determine the potential vibration impact on the surrounding areas and structures before any construction or demolition activities commence. Element’s vibration surveys will provide you with certainty that your project remains below the vibration limit.
