WSP Air Quality, Noise, Vibration and Acoustic Services

Air Quality, Noise, Vibration & Acoustic Services | SOQ

200+ Acoustic Specialists Worldwide

WSP’s acoustical staff has performed hundreds of projects involving transportation facilities, infrastructure development, construction, power generation, heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC), mechanical systems, and building interior acoustics. We are involved in all aspects of project development and delivery, and have the depth of knowledge to solve vexing noise and vibration problems. In fact, our acoustics expertise can typically be needed in all phases of a project, from environmental permitting, initial/final design and bid specifications, to construction management, troubleshooting, and expert witness testimony (if needed). We are equipped with our own measurement instrumentation and predictive models in order to stay competitive with the industry and contribute to our professional societies on a regular basis.

Technology & Equipment: We have a comprehensive array of noise and vibration measurement instrumentation that we share across the company as projects demand. This can range from a simple $1,000 sound level meter to a sophisticated $25,000 multi-channel frequency spectrum analyzer. WSP use several specialty computer models and interface programs such as, but not limited to, FHWA TNM (traffic noise), FHWA RCNM (construction noise, developed by WSP), Cadna-A (outdoor noise), Cadna-R (indoor noise), INSUL (wall/ceiling noise reduction), AIM & TAP (HVAC noise), SpectraPLUS (frequency/time analysis), and equipment interface software to control multiple instruments.
