Acoustic Engineering
The acoustic engineering team of VDM Consulting provides noise impact assessment and acoustic design services to the mining, commercial and urban development industry as well as to the Government and the Local Authorities. Industrial, commercial or infrastructure projects are supported through the development approval, construction and post-construction certification to ensure compliance with the requirements for noise amenity protection. Consulting is provided in every aspect of acoustics, from environmental noise propagation modelling, to mechanical noise control and acoustic design specifications for compliance with BCA.
Our approach to every project is to listen to the client's intentions and expectations, to provide advice on the regulatory and technical constraints and to deliver practical and cost effective solutions.
Whilst our core discipline is acoustic engineering, we offer an extended range of services that cover areas such as vibration monitoring and vibration impact assessment, air quality monitoring and impact assessment as well as light impact assessment and design specifications.
Our acoustic engineering team is committed to achieving the highest standards of professional engineering service.
