Noise action plans

Noise mapping

Before changing the infrastructure you'll have to ensure, that the noise will not exceed the limits specified in environmental legislation. This requires detailed mapping of the existing noise to calculate the effect of the planned changes in terms of noise.

Noise reduction is part of the process

The noise mapping is done with the aid of a powerful software. It provides a clear picture whether the requirements will be met or not. The software is also an effective tool for looking at alternative lines and drawing up cost-benefit analyses. On this basis detailed action plans can be made to ensure that future requirements are met.

Noise action plan

DELTA offers to design a complete or partial noise action plan: 

• Measurement of noise from industry, roads, railways, aircraft, etc.
• Noise mapping and calculations
• Consultancy on noise reduction

• Documentation on noise conditions in the form of accredited reports

We know what we are talking about

DELTA has 40 years' experience in acoustics, noise and vibration. DELTA's accreditations cover measurements, calculations and reporting of noise from traffic and industry.
This means that our reports can form part of the authorities' administrative procedures in connection with approvals, planning, etc. Throughout all the years, DELTA has been measuring and calculating noise and thus has great knowledge of effective means of avoiding noise problems.

Noise planning at Ballerup

DELTA has carried out a noise action plan in the collaboration with the city council of Ballerup prior to changes in the city infrastructure.
Many options have been examined as to minimize noise increase when making traffic alterations, extension of industrial areas and construction of new residential areas.
E.g. an area south of Måløv Byvej and the railway was to be developed with multi-storey homes, detached homes, child care centres, nursing homes and a recycling station. From the start, it was important to define how the areas would be used and how sensitive they were to noise so that buildings and noise barriers could be placed appropriately. A noise model of the area was built based on a topographic map of the ground and by adding noise sources (roads and railways). In addition, the noise calculations was used to choose the proper sound class for the windows in the building facades.
