Addiscombe Environmental Consultants Ltd provide clients with a range of services related to noise and vibration levels. Our work has a wide variety of applications across several industries. We are a small, flexible and dynamic company, combining the technical expertise and experience of a large company with the lower costs and overheads of a small company, ensuring our clients the best possible service at a cost-effective price.
As environmental consultants our work often involves several processes such as calculating the potential noise level of planned development work, assisting with applications for the ‘Prior Consent for Works on Construction Sites’ under Section 61 of the Control of Pollution Act, providing ongoing measurement of noise levels and creating noise control solutions where necessary.
Each section of our services page provides more detail on the various roles we fulfil as noise level consultants to the various industry sectors. Taking construction noise as an example, here follows a brief rundown of how we might assist a client’s project:
Construction noise is significant and can exist for long periods of time. The increased noise level impacts on residential areas in the immediate environment, as well as any other noise sensitive structures and work will often be carried out during the night as part of the development plan. All of which needs to be considered during the planning and controlled for during the development work.
- AECL have a database of noise level information for a range of plant and construction activities.
- This information has been gathered from noise level measurements taken during numerous site visits.
- In-house noise modelling software can be used to calculate construction noise levels before any work begins.
- Mitigation options can then be assessed using this information.
- We are familiar with construction techniques and can advise on alternative plant and techniques that may be used to control noise.
- Visit the construction page for more information, including details of how AECL can guide clients through submittal of Section 61 application.
