The Need for Balance
Environmental Noise
Industry often has to demonstrate compliance with noise regulations and maintain good relationships with other stakeholders. dBA Noise Consultants provides the services needed to meet those requirements, such as pre- and post construction noise monitoring studies and predictive or post construction noise impact assessments. Our noise assessments comply with applicable legislation. For instance in Alberta, Oil & Gas facilities are governed by the Alberta Energy Regulator (AER) and for Power related industries by the Alberta Utilities Commission (AUC). In British Columbia Oil & Gas facilities are governed by the BC Energy Regulator (BCER) We also provide independent advice on noise mitigation strategies and noise control and can provide expert witness services.
