We measure and predict sounds at sensitive receivers such as residential buildings, schools, hospitals, nursing homes and places of worship. On-site monitoring is used to measure existing noise or vibration levels. At Gradient Wind, we work closely with planners, architects and developers to implement effective solutions for a variety of environmental noise and vibration concerns.
At Gradient Wind, we provide the following services to resolve noise and vibration issues:
- Aircraft, roadway and railway noise impact assessments
- Mechanical equipment (stationary) noise impact analyses
- Building and subdivision feasibility studies
- On-site noise monitoring and regression analyses
- Environmental Assessments for Transportation Corridors
- Ontario Ministry of Environment, Conservation and Parks, Environmental Compliance Approvals (ECA) and Environmental Activity and Sector Registry (EASR)
- Monitoring of ground vibrations created by rail traffic, quarry blasting, and industrial processes
- Support at Ontario Municipal Board hearings for all of the above services
