Building Acoustics
We work with other design professionals including architects, structural engineers and building services engineers to create high quality buildings. Whether the project involves apartments, offices, education or performance spaces, investment in good acoustics design adds value to a building. Our comprehensive, professional service covers everything from concept design, through to verification measurements upon completion.
Environmental Acoustics
We provide assistance with all aspects of environmental noise. We can calculate the noise which is expected to be generated by a new activity and provide an assessment report during the Resource Consent process. We can also measure the noise emitted by activities which are already underway, and consider compliance with any relevant noise limits and provide advice about how to reduce or manage the noise.
Occupational, Industrial and Construction noise
We can measure and manage noise in factories and other workplaces in accordance with New Zealand Standards and ACC Guidelines to protect the health and safety of workers. Our capabilities also include the acoustic design of engineering machinery and other products, from detailed design and analysis to commissioning noise and vibration measurements. We also regularly monitor and assess noise from construction works, and provide practical advice regarding mitigation.
Acoustic Engineering Services provides:
– Exceptional building acoustics design
– Comprehensive environmental noise monitoring and control
– Thorough measurements and detailed analysis
– Independent expert witness services and Resource Consent assistance
Our clients include private businesses, developers, territorial authorities, public sector and government departments, schools and local communities who understand what an important role sound plays in how we experience the world –
“A sensitive and aware response to the aural sense is a key component of the quality of a person’s experience of a place or space.
An acoustic engineer, when fully understanding the design and experiential objectives of a place or space, can therefore add tremendous value to any design solution.”
