Shaping Soundscapes for Sustainable Urban and Infrastructure Developments

Our Acoustics Master Planning services are designed to integrate sound management into large-scale urban and infrastructure projects from the earliest stages. By planning for noise control, sound propagation, and acoustic comfort during the design process, we help developers create environments that enhance the quality of life for occupants and mitigate potential noise challenges.

Our approach to master planning ensures that noise and vibration are strategically addressed, promoting sustainability, community well-being, and compliance with environmental regulations.

Why Acoustics Master Planning is Essential

Acoustics are a critical component of sustainable urban development. Whether for residential, commercial, or mixed-use projects, considering acoustics early in the planning process ensures that:

Masterplanning

Noise pollution is minimised, creating healthier living and working environments

Masterplanning

Zoning is designed to balance noise-generating areas (e.g., transportation hubs, entertainment venues) with noise-sensitive areas (e.g., schools, hospitals, residential spaces)

Masterplanning

Building layouts and materials are optimised to control sound propagation and prevent unwanted noise

Masterplanning

Long-term environmental compliance is ensured, reducing the need for costly noise mitigation measures post-construction

Key Services

We assess the project’s site and surrounding environment to develop strategic noise control plans. Our goal is to minimise the impact of external noise sources, such as traffic or industrial zones, on sensitive areas like residential communities and public spaces.

Using advanced acoustic modelling tools, we predict how sound will propagate across the entire development site. This helps us create effective noise mitigation strategies, including the use of natural barriers, building placement, and landscape design to control sound flow.

Our acoustic consultants work closely with urban planners to ensure that the master plan’s layout aligns with optimal acoustic performance. We create zones that balance the needs of high-activity areas with quieter residential or institutional spaces, preventing noise disturbances.

We assess potential vibration issues from infrastructure like railways, highways, or industrial operations. Our recommendations ensure that sensitive areas such as hospitals, schools, and research facilities remain undisturbed by vibrations.

Our team ensures that your project meets local, regional, and international environmental regulations regarding noise and vibration control. This includes compliance with Environmental Noise Directives and local planning policies.
