Mineral Extraction and Waste Management Noise Surveys

Noise Surveys for Mineral Extraction and Waste Management Sites

Mineral Workings & Waste Management

Mineral workings and waste management sites will normally require environmental noise assessments in order to ensure sites operate within appropriate and reasonable noise limits. IEC is particularly experienced in the operations associated with minerals and waste sites and the preparation of assessments or management plans required for planning or licensing purposes.

Assessments will normally require background noise surveys at positions representative of the nearest noise-sensitive properties and prediction of resulting operational noise levels based on the proposed plant complement.

CadnaA

IEC uses CadnaA (Computer Aided Noise Abatement) software for the calculation, presentation, assessment and prediction of environmental noise from minerals and waste sites. Predictions are carried out using British Standard 5228 ‘Code of practice for noise and vibration control on construction and open sites – Part 1: Noise or ISO 9613-2 Acoustics – Attenuation of sound during propagation outdoors: General method of calculation.

Minerals and waste-related reports include advice on the layout and orientation of the site, acoustic screening (bund arrangements), noise control and management measures.
