At NOVA, we have many years of experience in providing workplace noise surveys and assessment services to enable compliance with the Control of Noise at Work Regulations 2005. Within the UK, all employers have an obligation to protect their employees. Employers are required to undertake an assessment of risks to its employees health and safety from noise exposure within the workplace. The preferred method of assessing this risk is by undertaking a workplace noise monitoring survey. This noise at work risk assessment will allow the company to formulate an action plan to reduce employees exposure to noise, as required by the regulations.

Richard Boothroyd & Associates Ltd reached out to us to collaborate on a project in our home town, Leeds. They required our expert acoustic design services for the iconic Bridgewater Place in Leeds to support the refurbishment of the site to achieve BREEAM credits for acoustic performance. We conducted an existing building fabric assessment to assess which areas required upgrading to achieve compliance with HEA05 and POL05. The design stage assessment included advice on internal ambient noise levels, sound insulation of walls and floors, reverberation control and plant noise emissions. Once the refurbishment is complete we will be returning to undertake pre-completion testing to assess compliance with the BREEAM requirements.

We love to promote aspiring young undergraduates into acoustic engineering. Pablo Soler Esteve has been delivering seminars to the University of Miguel Hernandez de Elche to introduce the students to acoustic engineering and what career opportunities are available. Thanks to Ramon Peral Orts for the invite and we are super excited about the potential projects on the horizon. We have found that students find it incredibly useful to get some insight into life as an acoustic consultant directly from someone working in the industry. If you are a lecturer or provide training in acoustics or acoustics related subjects feel free to get in touch. We would happily provide seminars or support to help your students consider acoustic engineering as a career. #acoustics #acousticdesign #acousticsolutions #noisecontrol #noisepollution #builtenvironment #workplacedesign #officefitout #officeinteriors #design #interiordesign #sustainabledesign #acousticsolutions #creatingcalm #noise #sound

Here is a look at an installation of acoustic wall panels and ceiling rafts we carried out earlier this year within an open plan cafe. We were approached to help reduce excessive reverberation within the space in order to make the environment more acoustically comfortable, subsequently installing a range of Class A sound absorbing panels.

Unwanted noise can intrude on many areas in life. Similarly, noise impact assessments is a broad term and can apply to a wide variety of sectors and services. Typically, noise impact assessments are requested by a planning permission or environmental health officer to ensure that your development is not adversely impacting on communal, residential or businesses that are situated nearby. As the name suggests, a noise impact assessment will try to predict the impact that noise from your development is likely to have on the surrounding area.

We supported the design team at AA Projects for RIBA Design Stages 2 – 4 for Thistlemore Practice; a new three-storey medical building complete with car parking facilities. Initially, we conducted an environmental noise survey in accordance with BS 7445:2003 to establish the ambient and background sound levels at the site and surrounding areas, before providing acoustic design in accordance HTM-08-01 – Health Technical Memorandum 08-01: Acoustics (2013) including assistance with sound insulation between spaces, reverberation control, internal ambient sound levels and noise emission from new plant equipment. We provided value engineered and considered solutions in collaboration with the design team to ensure the project achieved the required performance standards. If you require an environmental noise survey, our expert team are on-hand to help.

As we near the completion of one hotel project (The Treehouse Hotel), we're already gearing up for the next! 🏨 Last Friday, our team visited London for the Stage 3 presentation of the new Zedwell Hotels branded hotel in Manchester together with Ryder Architecture, NOVA Acoustics Ltd, BardenChapman Consulting Engineers & MU Studio, where we presented our MEP designs for the new concept which were received and approved by the client. We are looking forward to delivering another hotel brand to our beloved city. 🏙 Molly Burke Duncan McKee Hadley Rudd

In recent years, the knowledge that noise at work can cause permanent and disabling hearing damage has impacted the design and construction of workplaces in the UK, especially those where manufacturing processes are part of the day-to-day activity. The Control of Noise at Work Regulations (2005) legislation made it compulsory for businesses to take action to both reduce exposure to noise wherever possible and to provide workers with training and equipment (personal hearing protection) to control the risk from noise. Under the terms of the act, employers also have a duty to carry out regular health surveillance and risk assessments to ensure that everything practicable has been done to mitigate the effects of exposure to noise. But what should be considered when conducting a noise risk assessment?

Here is a recent image captured by one of our Acoustic Testing Engineers, Thomas Bunting, carrying out a sound insulation test in Manchester Building Regulations Sound Testing is required for new dwellings in the United Kingdom, or any residential conversion that creates two adjoining dwellings. Our efficient sound insulation testing protocols fully comply with Part E of the Building Regulations for England and Wales.
