Environmental Noise

Comprehensive environmental noise assessment and mitigation solutions

Environmental noise from transportation, industrial activities, and community sources can significantly impact quality of life and property values. Our environmental noise services help protect sensitive receptors and ensure compliance with regulatory requirements.

Noise Impact Assessments

We conduct comprehensive noise impact studies for development projects, infrastructure improvements, and industrial facilities:

  • Baseline noise monitoring and documentation
  • Noise modeling and impact prediction
  • Regulatory compliance analysis
  • Mitigation measure recommendations
  • Community consultation support

Transportation Noise

Road, rail, and aircraft noise can affect residential and commercial developments. We provide:

  • Traffic noise modeling and assessment
  • Railway noise and vibration studies
  • Aircraft noise impact analysis
  • Noise barrier design and optimization
  • Building facade noise control solutions

Industrial Noise Control

Industrial facilities must balance operational needs with community noise concerns:

  • Equipment noise characterization
  • Property line noise compliance verification
  • Noise control system design
  • Acoustic enclosure specifications
  • Operational noise management plans

Construction Noise Management

Construction activities can create temporary but significant noise impacts:

  • Construction noise impact assessments
  • Noise monitoring during construction
  • Equipment selection for noise reduction
  • Temporary noise barriers and screening
  • Community notification and management

Regulatory Compliance

We ensure projects meet all applicable noise regulations and standards:

  • Municipal noise bylaw compliance
  • Provincial and federal noise guidelines
  • Environmental assessment requirements
  • Permit application support
  • Expert testimony and consultation
