Services
Marine Acoustics
Specialized noise and vibration solutions for marine environments, including Navy vessels, research ships, and offshore structures. Our engineers address propeller cavitation, engine noise, and HVAC systems to improve crew safety and vessel performance. With experience on hundreds of maritime projects, we deliver compliance with international maritime regulations while maintaining operational efficiency.
Vibration Analysis
Comprehensive vibration measurement and mitigation strategies for industrial and marine applications. We identify sources of harmful vibrations in machinery, power plants, and transportation systems to prevent equipment failure and worker health risks. Our solutions integrate advanced diagnostics with practical engineering to ensure long-term operational stability and safety compliance.
Environmental Noise Assessment
Regulatory-compliant noise impact evaluations for industrial facilities, construction sites, and urban developments. We analyze airborne noise transmission to protect communities from hazardous exposure while helping clients meet federal, state, and local requirements. Our assessments include mitigation planning for factories, hospitals, and sensitive government facilities.
Software Solutions
Proprietary software development for noise prediction and control in shipbuilding and marine industries. Designer-NOISE and Sound-Guard systems enable precise acoustic modeling during vessel design phases. These tools optimize noise reduction strategies early in construction, reducing retrofitting costs and ensuring compliance with maritime safety standards through data-driven engineering.
Hearing Conservation Programs
Customized occupational hearing protection plans for high-noise environments. We assess workplace noise exposure levels, develop OSHA-compliant training programs, and implement engineering controls to minimize hearing loss risks. Our solutions balance worker safety with operational requirements in industrial plants, shipyards, and energy facilities.
