Silfurtún Development
Verkís carried out an acoustic assessment for the Silfurtún development area.
Focusing on the impact of road traffic noise on the surrounding environment.
Project overview
The project included evaluating existing and future traffic noise levels, assessing the effectiveness of earth berms as noise mitigation measures, and identifying opportunities for further improvements. The study provided a comprehensive overview of the acoustic conditions on the site and recommendations to support planning and development decisions.
Through detailed traffic noise analysis, the project helped establish strategies for improving the acoustic environment and enhancing the quality of the surrounding residential and outdoor areas.
The Challenge
The Silfurtún development required a thorough assessment of road traffic noise to ensure a high-quality living environment for future residents. The challenge was to evaluate current and future noise levels and identify effective mitigation measures that support sustainable urban planning.
Our Solution
Verkís carried out a comprehensive acoustic assessment, analysing existing and projected traffic noise conditions across the development area. The study evaluated the performance of earth berms as noise barriers, investigated additional mitigation options and provided recommendations to support planning and design decisions.
The Result
The assessment established a sound technical basis for creating a quieter and more comfortable residential environment. By integrating acoustic analysis into the planning process, Verkís helped improve environmental quality, support informed decision-making and contribute to the sustainable development of the Silfurtún area.
