The acoustic testing following post-construction works including measuring mechanical services noise levels and reverberation effects in new extension, refurbished rooms and replacement of the artefacts. An acoustic test report was produced with findings and recommendations on mitigation measures where any exceedances in noise transmission and reverberation was measured.
What is a Noise Assessment?

What is an Air Quality Mitigation Statement? An Air Quality Mitigation Statement qualitatively assesses the air quality impact to future site users and/or local receptors and whether any mitigation measures could be required. Why is an Air Quality Mitigation Statement needed for this site? The Institute of Air Quality Management (IAQM) and Environmental Protection UK […]
