Noise, dust and vibration
We are at the forefront of noise, dust, and vibration mitigation, using the latest technology, innovative enhanced acoustic mitigation measures, to ensure our work does not disrupt the surrounding area. We strongly believe that the key to a lot of our successes in this area is down to an open and collaborative working culture with local authority, project and surrounding stakeholders. This has led to the successful delivery of some incredibly challenging projects.
Our Grosvenor Gardens project had highly sensitive and opposing surrounding receptors that were situated away from road traffic noise and benefited (usually) from low baseline noise levels. Our work in the project planning stages led to a fully designed acoustic vehicle tunnel and full building height acoustic screen. Something we are not aware of having been done on any other London Project before. These innovative enhanced acoustic mitigation measures were tested ahead of works commencing by an independent acoustic consultant. The resultant sound performance of both the tunnel and acoustic screen test showed it provided 25dBA sound reduction during the floor by deconstruction and a 35dBA reduction when works reach ground floor and basement level. Considering that noise works in a logarithmic scale and so 3dBA is a doubling or halving of noise, this is incredibly substantial.
