Acoustics (Noise and Vibration Assessment)

Noise and vibration issues are a worldwide problem. Eco & Partner offers comprehensive noise and vibration consultancy services across a wide range of industries and sectors, conforming to industry standards, national legislation and international best practice.

Acoustical pollution can cause health problems for people and wildlife, both on land and in the sea.

Often the effects of acoustical pollution are small; however, for some of our clients, they can become a major issue particularly when promoting new infrastructure such as roads, railways, airports and industrial facilities.

We work closely with clients and stakeholders to assess noise and vibrations emissions and the effects these may have on people, property and wildlife. We strive to anticipate concerns and design integrated and sustainable solutions before problems arise.

Our noise and vibration specialist team provides technical support at any stage of project planning, design, construction, implementation to project closure/decommissioning in collaboration with regulatory and industrial best practices. With the state of art equipment and experience of managing and delivering projects ranging from planning support, environmental permitting through to large-scale noise and vibration impact assessments, we have worked with different sectors providing our clients with efficient and innovative ways of solving a host of noise and vibration challenges by modelling, predicting and verifying acoustical, noise and vibration levels as per the Regulatory obligations.

We provide customized, cost-effective and professional services as per the client’s and regulatory requirements. The breadth of our work across sectors means we are able to provide insight from a number of perspectives, whatever the problem in hand.

          Ecology and Biodiversity technical support

          Service
          Ecology and Biodiversity technical support
          The impacts of Projects and Programs on biodiversity and Ecology are complex and in order to reduce the negative impacts, a thorough understanding of the Biodiversity and Ecology of the Area is required. At Eco and Partner, we have an experienced team of ecologists providing ecological and biodiversity technical support ranging from early engagement advice to surveys, monitoring and mitigation.

          Quality of life depends on diverse and complex ecological systems. As a growing body of evidence and global initiatives highlight the seriousness of biodiversity decline, and as measures are put in place to reverse this trend, it is becoming increasingly important for companies to understand and minimize their impact on ecosystems.

          An informed, sustainable approach to biodiversity and ecology management can provide opportunities for business stability and growth. Failing to proactively manage biodiversity-related risks appropriately can result in failure to secure required approvals, considerable cost increases, schedule delays, and friction with local communities and other stakeholders.

          Our team of professionals has experience in completing aquatic, terrestrial and wildlife surveys for a wide range of species and habitats for various projects. We work with Governments and private sectors to integrate biodiversity considerations into decision making and to develop and enhance related opportunities for business.

          Our work ranges from high level corporate policy support to targeted project or issue specific work. We work with our clients to understand the biodiversity implications of their projects, develop solutions to minimize adverse impacts from key decisions to ensure compliance with relevant standards especially the International Finance Corporation Performance standards and World Bank guidelines to provide strategic advice regarding project development.
