Saudi Arabia has made headlines for every major publication around the world for its fast-paced-developing cities and its architecture. Of this growth and opportunistic landscape, more people worldwide are migrating to Saudi Arabia in places like Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam, and outer areas like Tabuk. This has led to an expansion in KSA’s population which has directly impacted growth in the architectural sector such as residential, commercial, and hospitality construction industries for accommodating people.
With expanding urban development and cityscape many different things impact the people of the place, such as the noise of traffic, constant busy commercial and relaxation areas, transportation noise such as flights and trains, and more. Acoustic consultants provide solutions to mitigate these noise issues and hence, are a crucial part of the growing cityscapes of Saudi Arabian cities.
Here is a short video to demonstrate why noise consultants are an important part of denser growing cities.
Our services are a multi-step process that is aimed to ensure that environmental noise in urban settings is well-managed and mitigated to improve overall quality of life and activities.
1. Project Discussion:
– Client Meeting: Discussion of the project with the clients that includes requirements and project scope.
– Initial Site Visit: Conduct a site visit to understand the project’s sound environment and develop an acoustic design.
– Data Collection: Gather project data, which includes site plans and existing noise sources.
2. Noise Assessment
– Ambient Noise Monitoring: With the help of professional equipment such as a decibel meter to measure noise at different times of the day.
– Noise Mapping: Create a sound map to visualize current noise distribution across the development area.
– Noise Sources Identifications: Find the noise sources that impact the project site most, such as traffic, wind direction, and more.
3. Impact Assessment
– Noise Modeling: with the help of software tools modeling the effect of planned developments on the acoustic environment.
– Noise Prediction: Predicting future noise levels based on surrounding urban activities, population growth, and infrastructure developments.
– Regulatory Compliance: Ensuring that predicted noise levels meet local and international noise standards and regulations.
4. Mitigation Strategy Development
– Noise Control Strategies: Designing noise mitigation strategies, which include barriers, building orientation, and soundproofing techniques.
– Enhancing Urban Layout: Designing and suggesting urban layout adjustments to minimize noise impacts, which includes recommendations such as zoning, buffer zones, and green spaces.
– Material Selection recommendation: Recommending acoustic materials for buildings and infrastructure to reduce noise transfer.
5. Lead Consultant Consultation:
– Design Review: Based on the findings, analysis, and design creation submitting proposals for review to lead consultants to discuss the findings and proposed solutions.
– Feedback: Adjust plans based on feedback from lead consultants based on project requirements.
6. Detailed Acoustic Design
– Building Acoustics: Developing detailed designs for sound insulation, room acoustics, and HVAC noise control focused on enhancing building acoustic.
– Environmental Noise Control: Designing noise control solutions for outdoor areas to manage noise, including parks, plazas, and recreational areas to minimize environmental noise impact
7. Project Phase Support
– Construction Phase Monitoring: Monitor noise levels during construction to ensure compliance with acoustic planning and noise control.
– Contractor Guidance: Provide technical support and guidance to contractors when installing acoustic treatments.
