In an increasingly busy world, noise has the ability to impact on our daily lives in many ways. Additionally, the potential impact of noise, either from or on proposed development, is often a principal determinant in the success of planning applications for a variety of industrial, commercial and residential projects.

Druk Limited can provide a cost effective and practical approach to the assessment of noise. We are corporate members of the Institute of Acoustics, have many years professional experience in both the public and private sectors and have been involved in a wide variety of projects both large and small.

Our principal areas of expertise are in the following fields:

Environmental Noise: this term encompasses a wide range of issues ranging from allegations of noise nuisance from commercial, industrial or even domestic premises, to the assessment of ambient noise in conjunction with planning applications for a variety of proposals. Typically this will involve assessments conducted in accordance with British Standards (BS4142) and land use planning guidance (PPG24), in addition to evaluation of environmental noise made with reference to documents such as BS8233 and World Health Guidelines.

Architectural: the control of noise within the built environment is best achieved at the design stage, as retrospective treatment of a problem is generally far more problematic and generally more expensive. Consequently, the incorporation of suitable acoustic details at an early stage can save both time and money.

We have many years experience in the design and specification of sound insulation measures relating to the building envelope and separating elements, walls and floors, of residential, commercial and leisure proposals, to ensure compliance with the guidance contained within Building Regulations and appropriate British and international guidelines.

Occupational: the potential for noise exposure at work to affect the hearing of employees has been appreciated for many years. New regulations, the Control of Noise at Work Regulations 2005, came into force during April 2006 and introduced a number of changes to the regime contained within the previous Noise at Work Regulations 1989. We can offer a full service to evaluate the working noise environment, calculate daily noise exposures, identify the principal sources of noise and propose potential control measures.
