Noise and Vibration Studies

Ecoserv Ltd provides noise and vibration monitoring services, which are carried out by the company's highly qualified and experienced local and foreign experts.

Highly urbanized and industrial areas and known for potentially high noise and vibration levels that may be harmful to humans, especially when exposed to elevated levels over prolonged periods. The European Directive on Environmental Noise provides guidelines on monitoring of environmental noise and how local noise issues may be addressed. Other requirements for noise and vibration monitoring stem from occupational health and safety requirements.

Ecoserv Ltd provides noise and vibration studies to meet the requirements of current legislation and accepted standards (namely EU guidelines, ISO and British Standards). The assessments are made using highly sensitive and approved instruments. Ecoserv Ltd carries out pilot studies and full assessments for the identification of sources of noise and sensitive receptors; these also entail collection of field data, assessment of results and impacts, and provision of recommendations for implementing mitigation measures. Such studies are often carried out in relation to planned projects as part of EIA studies or to assess or monitor noise and vibration levels generated by ongoing activities.
