What exactly do we measure?

We analyze noise in every context where it interacts with the external environment:

• Traffic noise: We study the impact of roads, railways, and tram lines on planned or existing buildings.

• Industrial noise: We measure sound emissions from factories, ventilation systems, generators, and production lines to the environment.

• Effectiveness of barriers: We verify whether the acoustic screens or machine enclosures actually work.

• Background noise: We determine the sound level in areas under acoustic protection (e.g., residential neighborhoods, hospitals, parks).

Why is it important? (Purpose of measurements)

Environmental measurements are usually made at two key moments:

1. Planning and acceptance stage: To obtain a construction or usage permit, you must prove that noise standards are not exceeded. Our report is a document required by authorities.

2. Problem-solving: When complaints arise from local residents or environmental inspections are conducted. At this point, measurements allow for an objective assessment of the situation and – if necessary – the selection of precise remedial measures (e.g., silencers, screens), rather than acting blindly.

Methodology and Reporting

In environmental matters, there is no room for errors. We carry out measurements strictly according to PN-ISO standards and current ministerial regulations, taking into account local specifics and the nature of the sound source.

The final product of our work is a comprehensive report. It is not just a collection of charts, but a document containing a legal analysis of the results, an assessment of compliance with standards, and – most importantly – engineering recommendations. If the standards are exceeded, we will indicate the most effective way to address the issue.
