Acoustics & Vibration

Our team of over 60 technical specialists based in Australia and New Zealand provide guidance on acoustics, noise, and vibration for a wide scope of projects ranging from city scale environments to detailed building or infrastructure elements.

Overview

Our goal is to create functional, comfortable indoor and outdoor environments which are compatible with their surroundings. We offer unique expertise and practical solutions, from planning through to construction, which balance potential environmental issues with the need for development.

Using state-of-the-art tools and equipment, SLR can assist our clients by modelling, predicting and verifying acoustical, noise and vibration performance.
