Noise control, modelling, solutions design and monitoring

Why is noise control needed?

Noise control, modelling, solutions design and monitoring are essential to minimize noise pollution and ensure compliance with environmental and health regulations. Managing noise levels protects people’s health and wellbeing by preventing harmful exposure to excessive sound. It also reduces community complaints and helps businesses comply with legal limits.

With a legacy of environmental noise mitigation, particularly for transport and urban development, DGE delivers advanced modelling, solution design, and ongoing monitoring services for compliance and quality of life. DGE experience ranges from comprehensive city level noise maps to object level assessments. 

Key components of noise control

• Noise modelling predicts potential noise impacts from projects or operations, assessing how sound spreads and its effect on surroundings.
• Solutions design includes barriers, insulation, equipment modifications, and operational changes to reduce noise.
• Monitoring measures noise levels regularly to verify the effectiveness of control measures and compliance with limits.
• Reporting and analysis support regulatory submissions and ongoing improvements.

The customer journey: From assessment to quieter solutions

DGE clients start by assessing current and predicted noise levels. Control measures are developed to meet specific site conditions and operational needs. Continuous monitoring ensures control strategies work effectively, and adjustments are made as needed. Clear reporting demonstrates compliance to regulators and reassures communities. These services help our clients to maintain legal noise limits, improve community relations, and create healthier environments.
