Noise from major construction projects is the subject of increased attention, especially from residents affected by construction noise. Therefore the authorities demand that noise during construction work is kept within the applicable noise limits.
Predicting future noise levels
COWI predicts future noise levels in adjacent neighbouring areas from planned construction activities using the latest techniques and software programmes. This gives the responsible contractor the opportunity, where necessary, to select low-noise work schedules and processes and machinery that comply with noise regulations.
Effective solutions in noise abatement
COWI has extensive experience in monitoring construction noise and documenting how to comply with the noise limits. We work in close contact with the contractor, the authorities and the neighbours and are skilled in managing noise complaints in an effective manner.
Our services include:
- Measurement and calculation of noise from construction machinery
- Noise reduction and mitigation measures
- Regulatory processing with the authorities and dispensation
- Noise reviews
