We deliver fully certified, industrial noise surveys for pre and post planning application conditions, carried out in accordance with BS4142:2014+A1:2019

If you’re planning a project near existing B2 uses such as industrial manufacturing processes or looking to install a new air-conditioning unit or restaurant extractor fan for example you’ll require an industrial noise survey to help ensure that you won’t be adversely impacting on the local environment (whether it’s residents, community spaces or other businesses).
Your local environmental officer will usually provide the assessment requirements and standards.

What if my installation is likely to have an adverse impact?
​
After conducting the industrial noise survey, we’ll be able to tell you how likely your proposed installation will be to cause adverse impact. Each case is unique, but factors that are going to play a significant role of determining the outcome of an industrial noise assessment may include: intended hours of operation, acoustic specifications of the unit being installed and proximity to the nearest neighbouring property (either residential or commercial). If the proposed installation does seem likely to cause adverse impact, we will provide you with tailored advice regarding cost-effective and realistic solutions to resolve the issue.
These solutions can also depend on the requirements and guidelines laid out by your local authority, however, we have a proven track-record of helping our clients find appropriate solutions to their requirements. Some examples of previous changes that have helped our clients meet the required industrial noise survey BS 4142:2014 standards include: changing or modifying the proposed fabric, re-orientation or alignment, designing acoustic barriers and enclosures.
