Our Work

The project consisted of one 8 storey building and one 5 storey building, housing 102 private luxury residential apartments. Due to the location in central London, there were a number of factors that had to be considered in the design and construction of the project.

The project comprised the development of a six-storey purpose-built student accommodation building, containing 102 residential flats, associated common areas and commercial units.

Brought into the project at the tender stage by Mace, we were asked to do an acoustic audit of the RIBA Stage 3 design to identify any risks or opportunities for the contractor. Once Mace had been appointed, we were employed as acoustic consultants to keep watch over Stage 4 Technical Design, Stage 5 Construction, and Stage 6 Completion.

A three-phase development, we were engaged to act as the acoustic engineer by McAleer & Rushe during phase two of the development. Following our involvement in the second stage, we were then asked to be involved in phase three which is currently under construction.

The project was required to comply with the regulations laid out in Approved Document E and the standards provided by the local planning authority; specific consideration was also given to the noise from the nightclub opposite.

The aim of this project was to develop a new Arts & 6th Form block for Cheam School, an independent fee-paying school. As an addition to the other buildings on-site, the new block was built on the site of a demolished sports hall.

The very nature of the airport hotel presents a clear acoustic challenge; 360º of acoustic interference from the turning circle, runway and landing strip to the adjacent railway line and main road on the opposite side of the hotel.

Having previously worked with Project Manager Gardiner and Theobald, we were contacted by them regarding work on this project. Following the initial desktop assessment, we established the sound insulation of the existing structure by using our PA system to generate high levels of music and noise, which were then measured throughout the building.

Based in central Brighton, this project was the redevelopment of a site and involved the demolition of an old casino before the building of a new 140-bed Ibis Hotel.

Due to the central location of the apart-hotel, sources of noise included the main road outside the building, railway lines at the back of the building leading to directly into Waterloo Station and the London Underground Bakerloo Line below.
