Services
Marine Acoustics
Specialized noise and vibration solutions for marine vessels including Navy combatants, research ships, and offshore structures. Our team addresses propeller cavitation, engine noise, and HVAC systems through advanced measurement techniques. We provide comprehensive assessments from design phase through construction and testing, ensuring compliance with international maritime standards while improving crew and passenger comfort.
Environmental Noise Assessment
Comprehensive evaluation of airborne noise impacts for industrial facilities, commercial venues, and public spaces. Our services include OSHA compliance assessments, hazardous noise mapping, and mitigation strategies for factories, hospitals, and educational institutions. We help clients meet federal, state, and local noise regulations while protecting worker and community health through tailored engineering controls.
Software Solutions
Proprietary software development for noise monitoring and prediction in marine environments. Our Designer-NOISE and Sound-Guard programs enable precise acoustic modeling during shipbuilding processes. These tools facilitate early identification of potential noise issues and optimize mitigation strategies, reducing long-term operational costs while maintaining regulatory compliance for shipyards and naval architects.
Vibration Analysis
Specialized assessment of vibration sources in industrial and marine settings, including diesel engines and mechanical systems. We implement targeted solutions to prevent equipment damage, reduce occupational health risks, and improve structural integrity. Our approach combines field measurements with advanced modeling to identify root causes and develop effective mitigation strategies for both new and existing facilities.
Regulatory Compliance
Expert interpretation of federal, state, and local noise regulations for diverse industries. We assist clients in navigating complex compliance requirements through detailed assessments and documentation. Our services include environmental impact studies, permit applications, and development of hearing conservation programs that meet OSHA standards while minimizing operational disruptions for manufacturing plants and energy facilities.
