NOISE ACROSS CANADA

Why hire a noise specialist?
Many environmental engineering firms which specialize in air emissions also offer to handle noise emissions, but when serious noise concerns threaten or if you have received noise complaints, you require the problem solving expertise of a true noise specialist in order to have the job done right – the first time.

Our nationwide experience and extensive knowledge of Canadian, provincial and international standards and procedures ensure a practical solution to the challenges you face.

In Alberta
If you are an energy industry in Alberta, you need to operate your facility in accordance with Alberta Energy and Utilities Board (EUB) noise emission guidelines and limits.

If noise is an issue, give us a call. We’ll be happy to lead you through the process. If an acoustical audit or EUB assessment report is required, HGC Engineering will provide you with:

• a proposal outlining the scope of work required,
• a schedule for carrying out the major tasks
• the associated costs

within a few business days. Just send us some basic information such as a site or roof plan.

We pride ourselves in providing service on time and within budget.

For more information or if you have received noise complaints see http://www.eub.ca/docs/documents/directives/Directive038.pdf

Other Provinces
In provinces with no specific environmental noise or vibration guidelines, you may not have to gain approvals, but if you have noise complaints, your regulators typically suggest adherence with either Ontario or Alberta Guidelines. We can help.

Federal Approvals
If you are seeking approvals under the Federal Environment Act (FEA) we can help you identify the pertinent issues and gain approval from Health Canada, the DND, First Nations Bodies and other Federal Institutions. Addressing such global noise and vibration concerns is critical in gaining approvals in the Federal context.
