Heggies has a long history of involvement in mining and quarrying industries ranging from EIA/EIS noise assessments to noise control retro-fitting of existing facilities to enable compliance with revised environmental objectives. Over the course of many years, Heggies has earned a respected and highly credible reputation with the regulatory authorities and with the community in general.
Moreover, we have a practical understanding of the constraints applying to mining and quarrying facilities, and are familiar with the engineering practicalities and both the direct and indirect costs associated with implementation of physical noise and vibration control measures.
Our services for mining and quarrying projects include:
- Environmental impact assessment and control
- Operational noise predictions, colour contour 3-D noise modelling
- Operational noise mitigation, silencer design, attenuators, enclosures, etc
- Construction noise predictions and mitigation
- Construction and Operational Environmental Management Plans
- Community liaison, regulatory authority meetings, expert testimony
- REF, EES, EIA, EIS, Compliance Studies
By their very nature, equipment and activities on construction and demolition sites can emit high levels of noise and vibration. Modern and innovative techniques and comprehensive monitoring programmes bring significant benefits, however good communication and effective community consultation are equally important.
We can assist with:
- Noise and Vibration Impact Assessments
- Demolition, Excavation and Construction Site Noise and Vibration Monitoring
- Comprehensive Environmental Management of Site - Asbestos, Air Quality, Soil and Water Contamination Services
- Management Plans and Monitoring Programmes
- Building Inspections and Building Condition (Dilapidation) Surveys
- Design of Mitigation and Management Measures
This is not an exhaustive list of our areas of expertise in the field of Acoustics. If you would like to find out more about the services we offer in this area, please contact us here.
