Environmental Noise Impact Assessment
The health impact that environmental noise poses is becoming a growing concern among both the general public and policy makers globally. Widespread exposure to environmental noise from road, rail, airports and industrial sites, and its scientifically proven negative impact on human health and wellbeing, is increasingly becoming recognized and is addressed in both the design and the planning of infrastructure.
Telemetrix brings a unique approach to acoustic engineering whilst engaging in collaboration with policy-makers and industry peers. Telemetrix recognises the importance of keeping clients informed throughout the engineering process, with provision of expert advice on management of environmental noise.
Noise generated by industrial plant and sites can be a major issue for neighbours. It is subject to general or specific limits under environmental protection regulations and legislation. Telemetrix offers expertise in identifying, quantifying and mitigating environmental noise travelling beyond the perimeters of industrial sites and plants.
