Specialist Construction Noise & Vibration Monitoring (BS 5228)

Construction and demolition works are inherently noisy, but managing that impact is a common requirement from local planning authorities. I provide professional Construction Noise Assessments and on-site monitoring to ensure your project remains compliant with local authority limits and the “Control of Pollution Act 1974.”

Compliance with BS 5228:2009+A1:2014

I specialise in creating robust strategies based on BS 5228, the code of practice for noise and vibration control on open sites. My services help you navigate the “Best Practicable Means” (BPM) to minimise disturbance to the local community.

My Construction Services include:

• Section 61 Applications: I can assist in seeking prior consent from local authorities (like Cambridge, Chelmsford and Ipswich councils), providing a clear schedule of works and predicted noise levels.
• Noise & Vibration Monitoring: I install and manage remote monitoring stations on-site. This provides real-time data to ensure levels do not exceed agreed thresholds, with “alert” triggers to help you manage noisy activities proactively.
• CEMP (Acoustic Elements): I draft the noise and vibration chapters for Construction Environmental Management Plans, outlining specific mitigation measures such as acoustic hoarding, silencers for plant, and restricted hours of operation.
• Vibration Impact Assessments: Protecting nearby sensitive receptors and structures is critical. I provide vibration monitoring to assess the impact of piling or heavy excavation, ensuring compliance with BS 7385 or BS 5228-2.

Minimising Project Risk

By managing the noise and vibration element of your construction project personally, I help you avoid costly delays caused by local resident complaints or council-issued Section 60 notices. Whether it is a small residential build or a large commercial site, I provide the technical oversight needed to keep your project moving.
