Noise and vibration in transport and infrastructure
Studies, measurements and monitoring related to rail, metro, airport and road infrastructure, viaducts, tunnels, construction works and other sources with potential acoustic or vibration impact.
Experience
Accumulated technical experience in acoustics, noise and vibration
NoiseLab brings together a team with professional experience in acoustics and vibration since the late 1990s and has operated as a company since 2011. The accumulated experience combines field work, testing and monitoring, acoustic modelling, data processing and interpretation, technical diagnosis and the production of studies and reports.
NoiseLab
The team’s accumulated experience
Environmental noise, industry and nuisance
Assessment of ambient and residual noise, characterisation of industrial sources and equipment, analysis of nuisance situations, diagnosis of dominant sources and support for mitigation measures.
Building acoustics
Airborne, impact and façade sound-insulation measurements, reverberation time, building-services noise and assessment of acoustic conditions in residential, commercial, technical and sensitive-use buildings.
Noise mapping and planning
Preparation and updating of noise maps at different territorial scales, acoustic modelling, impact studies, noise-reduction plans, action plans and technical support for spatial-planning instruments.
Vibration and monitoring
Vibration measurement in buildings, infrastructure, equipment and receivers, short- and long-term surveys, event analysis and assessment of temporal correspondence between acoustic and vibration phenomena.
Modelling, data and technical production
Development and validation of acoustic models, processing of mapping and traffic data, organisation of time histories and spectra, development of calculation methods and production of technical reports.
