Noise + Air Quality Analysis

Straughan successfully executes noise and air quality analysis and engineering consulting services for federal, state/local municipalities, and private land developers in the mid-Atlantic region.

We recognize that acoustic, vibration, and air quality sensitivities can arise with any project from transportation facilities, such as highways and rail, to energy infrastructure, such as offshore wind farms.

At Straughan, we approach analysis and design projects with the forethought of potential real-world design issues that may affect the analysis outcome and abatement options. Learn more about acoustical analysis during design of transportation and development projects here.

Our noise and air quality specialists provide unique benefits to your project.

• Shape the design of the transportation facility and/or development site plan to account for noise and air quality concerns and minimize, or even eliminate, impacts to sensitive communities.
• Clear communication of analysis and mitigation measures in accessible language so that affected residents can understand the environmental effects of projects in their communities.
• Assessment of special construction techniques that minimize the impacts of construction noise and propose construction noise mitigation measures to avoid construction-related noise complaints from the community.
• Reduced noise mitigation costs by looking for opportunities to reuse/repurpose noise barrier materials.
