residential
and other
noise-sensitive
areas

MWA has extensive experience in assessing the actual and potential impact of noise upon on residential and other noise-sensitive areas. We deal with noise from sources including roads, railways, aircraft, industry, extractive industry, sporting and entertainment venues. Our team is able to help you to manage noise impacts in the most cost effective way by identifying the most appropriate acoustic solutions including buffer distances, and physical measures such as barriers and building design components.
