24 Acoustics is delighted to announce the appointment of two new consultants, Dave Coles and James Chaplen.

 

Dave joins us with a PhD in marine acoustics and will be assisting with our underwater noise monitoring and impact assessment work.  Dave has also worked for two large multi-disciplinary consultancies at earlier stages in his career.

 

James is a recent graduate of the Institute of Sound and Vibration Research, University of Southampton, and will assist with all aspects of our work as he gains experience.

 

We are delighted to report that, in December 2009, 24 Acoustics' quality management system was audited by UK ICM and was found to comply with the quality management standard ISO 9001: 2008.

 

This is a major achievement and underlines our commitment to the quality of our work and all that we do. 

 

Special thanks must be made to our Company Secretary, Rebekah McGill, for all the hard work put in behind the scenes to achieve this.

Heathrow Airport Third Runway- Noise Impact
 
24 Acoustics' Reuben Peckham has recently assisted Sky News by providing noise surveys and technical advice relating to the impact of noise from aircraft at Heathrow Airport.   The work was undertaken specifically within the context of the Runway 3 proposals.

 

Noise measurements were undertaken overnight inside the home of Peg Martin, a remarkable 90 year old lady who has lived within a couple of miles of the western end of the northern runway for over 60 years, from the days when Heathrow was nothing more than a grass airstrip with tents for terminal buildings.
