Pre-completion acoustic testing is recommended for projects where acoustic performance is critical to the overall functionality and success of the scheme. Our pre-completion testing service includes measurements of internal ambient noise levels, verification measurements of noise from building services both internally and externally, and reverberation time measurements.
Post-construction acoustic testing is a requirement when seeking BREEAM or WELL accreditation, as well as for the discharge of planning or Building Control requirements for a scheme.
Our fully trained consultants are available to attend sites nationwide, and testing can be conducted out of hours so that it doesn’t affect activity on site. Get in touch to discuss your project requirements.
In early 2019, the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) announced a move to their new headquarters at One Westfield Avenue in Stratford, London.
Appointed by TTSP, we worked with the architectural and design practice to deliver the design of the NMC’s new HQ. With the relocation, the NMC took the opportunity to create a space that brings key teams together, supporting collaboration and innovation. This included diverse areas to suit different tasks, such as open-plan office space, meeting rooms and a ‘town hall’ – a central space for everyone in the business to get together.
Acoustics are essential for offices designed to enable different functions, so we delivered sound insulation between the private offices and meeting rooms – many of which are used for highly confidential conversations – along with room acoustic design across all communal areas. We also provided building services noise control to ensure the space complies with noise regulations.
In their modern and flexible HQ, the NMC have created the optimal environment to enable their employees to better support nurses, midwives and nursing associates.
