Acoustic requirements and design review
Unclear acoustic requirements make bids and designs difficult to compare. We help define the outcome needed, the conditions under which it applies and how it should be checked, then review documentation and options for consistency with those agreed requirements.
Define the criteria before choosing the solution
We start with project objectives, affected locations and the responsibilities of the parties involved. Source parameters are distinguished from environmental noise requirements so that the specification does not confuse different quantities. Relevant operating conditions, supplier information needs and the application of criteria to equipment, installations or the complete facility are then defined for the planned investment.
Available designs and alternatives are reviewed against the requirements, source information and consistency of assumptions across documents. We identify missing data, contradictions and matters for designers or suppliers to clarify. This supports comparison on a common basis and checks whether conditions for later verification have been considered, rather than relying only on a general statement of compliance.
The review is based on the submitted documentation and does not automatically verify the performance of a future installation. Changes to the design or equipment information may require another review. Supply and installation of noise controls are excluded; the service organises requirements and highlights risks and questions worth resolving before procurement or construction proceeds.

What you receive
You receive requirements for the design or specification and a review report. The material presents criteria, their application conditions and comments on the documents reviewed, including questions requiring answers. It supports discussions with designers and suppliers and preparation for future performance checks, without including supply or installation of noise controls.
Scope and limitations
Supply and installation of noise control measures excluded
