Case Study: EIA scoping project for Warringtonfire
Learn how we performed an EIA (Environmental Impact Assessment) for the construction of the UK's largest built environment product testing facility.
The project included acoustic design assistance, noise assessments, and air quality dispersion modeling to demonstrate that the new facility would not have a detrimental impact on the local environment. read our case studyFAQ: The latest insights on Noise Impact Assessments
We asked our environmental expert Stephen Wigham to answer Frequently Asked Questions regarding environmental noise assessments and environmental impact assessments.
Discover how our independent environmental compliance experts are helping clients understand the environmental impact of new developments. READ OUR FAQArticle: Discover how we use acoustic noise cameras for Noise Impact Assessments
Our cameras visually represent the level of sound approaching the camera from different directions.
Acoustic noise data is required for environmental, road & traffic noise assessments, or assessing industrial noise complaints, our experienced team can help you resolve issues, and comply with legislation and environmental permit requirements. LEARN MORERelated Services
