Graphical representation of a typical analysis of
road noise
We are at the forefront of assessing structures and buildings
subject to noise and dynamic excitation. Our team of specialists
has significant experience of vibration induced by road and rail
traffic, pedestrian excitation, machinery, blast and seismic
activity.
We offer in-depth experience for the optimisation of scheme designs
to minimise noise and vibration in the new buildings, and predict
and mitigate noise and vibration issues in existing
structures.
Computer modelling and analysis
Developing advanced software solutions for technically challenging
projects is part of our culture of continuous improvement; we have
produced a suite of award winning software for solving dynamic
monitoring problems benchmarked against a large database of dynamic
monitoring results. The development of highly efficient modal
superposition techniques provides rapid analysis of complex
transient dynamic problems. Our clients find that our graphic tools
help them visualise accelerations spatially from complex dynamic
behaviour. We can also listen to our analysis results by converting
calculated vibrations into audio signals.
Research and development
Our specialists, who regularly carry out research and development
projects within the field of structural dynamics and vibration, are
drawn from a variety of research backgrounds and have close links
with universities and research institutions. These links allow us
to keep abreast of the latest developments and enhance our
knowledge and skills in this field.
