Transport & Aviation

We provide environmental noise and vibration services for a wide range of extractive industries across New South Wales.

  • Road Infrastructure
    Noise and vibration assessments for highways, bypasses, interchanges, arterial and local road upgrades, tunnelling projects, and construction impacts on nearby sensitive receivers.
  • Railways & Light Rail Projects
    Acoustic modelling, barrier design, and monitoring for above-ground, underground, and light rail systems including Sydney Metro and Inland Rail.
  • Airports & Airfields
    Environmental noise studies for new and existing airports including aircraft operations, taxiways, and ground-based equipment like APUs and generators.
  • Bus Depots & Interchanges
    Noise evaluations for depot activities, idling buses, maintenance areas, and commuter access within mixed-zoning locations.
  • Ferry Wharves & Terminals
    Marine and terminal noise assessments for ferry infrastructure upgrades including PA systems, vessel berthing, and passenger zones.
  • Logistics & Freight Corridors
    Noise impact studies along major freight and logistics corridors involving trucks, trains, and intermodal transfer hubs.
  • Transport Precinct Redevelopments
    Vibration and noise support for upgrades to transport hubs including Central Station and Parramatta Interchange.
  • Tunnels & Underground Structures
    Construction noise, ground-borne vibration analysis, and mitigation for tunnel boring machines (TBMs), cut-and-cover works, and underground rail.

Acoustic & Vibration Assessments We Conduct

  • Operational Transport Noise Assessments
    Predictive and measured assessments of traffic, train, and aircraft noise levels to determine impacts on existing or proposed developments.
  • Construction Noise & Vibration Monitoring
    Real-time, long-term logging of construction-related noise and vibration including piling, tunnelling, excavation, and heavy vehicle movements.
  • Baseline Environmental Monitoring
    Capture of existing transport noise levels prior to development or upgrade commencement, often required in EIS or planning documentation.
  • Predictive Noise Modelling
    Simulation of traffic noise propagation, rail noise maps, or aircraft noise contours for planning and mitigation design.
  • Barrier & Mitigation Design Support
    Advisory on optimal placement, sizing, and materials for acoustic walls, embankments, building treatments, or glazing upgrades.
  • Ground-Borne Vibration Analysis
    Assessment of vibration transmission into adjacent structures from rail, construction, or aircraft sources using ISO and RMS criteria.
  • Compliance Reporting & Regulator Submission
    Comprehensive documentation aligned with TfNSW, DPE, and EPA requirements including Noise Management Plans and post-construction verification.
