- Noise propagation and prediction. Sound propagation to EN ISO 9613-2 and RVS 04.02.11, noise maps, immission predictions for industrial sites and traffic, noise mitigation compared as variants (noise barriers, enclosures and operational measures).
- Wind energy. Noise predictions for wind farms and individual wind turbines, background noise analysis according to the Austrian noise checklist, assessment for environmental impact and permit procedures. More on wind energy
- Assessment. ÖAL Guideline 3 Part 1, ÖNORM S 5021, ÖNORM B 8115, UVP-G, VOLV, BStLärmIV.
- Measurement data analysis. 24-hour measurements to ÖNORM S 5004, continuous monitoring along roads and construction sites, frequency analysis. The measurement itself is carried out by the client or a partner office.
- Permit condition monitoring and quarterly reports. Noise monitoring as required by permit conditions for roads, construction sites or industrial plants, under a service contract with recurring quarterly reports.
- Building acoustics. Airborne and impact sound to OIB Guideline 5 and ÖNORM B 8115, low-frequency transmission.
- Room acoustics. Reverberation time, STI, absorption, ray tracing, among others as subcontractor for the WH Arena St. Marx and a studio new build.
- and much more
- Engineering offices
- Calculation model, prediction and draft report as a subcontractor. The commissioning office signs the report and holds the signing authority towards the authorities.
- Architects
- Noise prediction and sound insulation concept for permit submissions and competitions, advice on floor plan orientation.
- Private clients
- Assessment of the noise situation of a property or flat before purchase or conversion, from noise maps and an own propagation calculation, with suitable measures.
