As urban mobility and development continue to pose significant challenges, environmental considerations have become increasingly crucial.

Our specialists will help you anticipate, avoid, and reduce the acoustic and vibratory impacts of your cities & transportation projects.

 

 

Anticipate and Manage Impacts

Whether your project involves road building or guided transport, assessing and mapping an existing transport system, or understanding the sound environments of a district, our team of specialists will help ensure that you achieve full regulatory compliance and the submission of documentation to the appropriate authorities is secure.

Baseline assessment

We use more than 150 dedicated noise and vibration sensors that meet the highest standards of accuracy in order to:

  • Conduct large-scale, long-term, measurement campaigns on cities & transportation projects
  • Provide a highly responsive service for joint noise and vibration survey needs close to infrastructures and diagnostic investigations in neighboring buildings

Our unique fleet of equipment – the majority of which involves the use of connected sensors – is regularly inspected and monitored to ensure that the results our clients receive are 100% reliable over continuous measurement periods ranging from a few hours to several years.

Acoustic modeling

Our modeling tools allow us to understand existing sound and vibratory environments, identify sensitive at-risk sectors such as cities & transportation projects, and assess the changes brought about by new road or rail routes, urban redevelopment, etc.

Sixense’s software is fully compliant with relevant standards and the latest versions of the European CNOSSOS-EU regulation.

Proposing appropriate solutions

Our team of experts can provide advice on a wide range of offsetting and reduction solutions suitable for your project’s environment: 

  • Landscaping and integration into the built environment
  • Interactions with other environmental issues to facilitate overall improvement
  • Control of investment and maintenance costs

Supporting projects

We specialize in supervising and supporting your teams in their interactions with third parties (local councilors, non-profit organizations, and residents) to facilitate a clear understanding of the noise and vibration issues involved in your projects.

Continually trained and updated in the latest regulatory and technological advances, our recognized experts also play an active role in these changes through their involvement in:

  • The drafting of benchmark methodological guides for noise and vibration studies
  • The standardization committees of various AFNOR-related working groups (CNEA and BNTRA)
  • Industry organizations (CINOV GIAC; SER / APREA the Institute of Acoustics and INCE) and symposia/conferences on environmental acoustics issues.

Support of Cities & Transporation Projects

Using the recognized experience and expertise of Sixense engineers and technicians, you can ensure thorough project support and supervision of your cities & transportation infrastructure acoustics.

Our teams verify all your regulatory obligations and environmental commitments are fully complied with.
