BS 4142:2014 Mechanical, Industrial & Commercial Noise Assessment
New mechanical industrial and commercial noise sources vary from small air conditioning units attached to a office, shop or even a residential property, upto large-scale noise-generating commercial developments, such as petrol stations, warehouses, office blocks, restaurants and industrial developments.

Our acoustic consultants undertake BS4142 acoustic surveys. This involves liaison with the local authority (council), involves noise monitoring, often for periods in excess of 24-hours, so as to capture background sound levels. Our detailed reports, detail mechanical plant maximum noise levels, calculate sound level transmission from source to nearby noise sensitive receptors and where appropriate provide noise mitigation measures. Where solutions are required in order to demonstrate compliance, HA Acoustics always consider a range of both sound attenuation options and cost impact to our clients.

Entertainment And Licensed Premises
HA Acoustics can design for bars, nightclubs and live music venues. We can determine sound insulation measures to minimise music noise break-out and provide advice on the design of sound systems, including the incorporation of electronic noise limiters to ensure that noise criteria set by the Local Authority are not exceeded.

We have an in-depth understanding of the technical and creative aspects of live music performance and we work to provide practical noise control solutions which allow events to proceed while meeting Local Authority noise criteria and minimising the risk of disturbance to others.

BS 5228:2009 Construction noise assessment and long-term site monitoring
Noise and vibration during construction are a critical concern for any major development because of the potential effect on nearby businesses and residents. Failure to adequately assess and put in place appropriate control measures can lead to a site being closed down until appropriate management is put in place.

Assessment and management of site impacts can distract from the construction work in hand. With extensive experience obtained working on some of the most significant construction projects in the UK, we have the capability and competence to assess, manage and monitor noise and vibration impacts so you can focus on getting on with the construction.

We employ former Local Authority Environmental Health Officers and noise enforcement officers. This means that our consultants are well placed to handle investigative work for stakeholders such as Local Authorities, Housing Associations and the Military. Our clients also include transport, aviation and construction sectors.

We provide a flexible, low cost, high quality service for handling your complaint calls and information requests, appointment scheduling and stakeholder engagement.
