Beenleigh Rail Line (QR)
Noise modelling of 42kms
of rail line from Brisbane to Beenleigh using SoundPLAN software. Ranking
of noise levels for each section of track and determination of noise
barrier requirements for the complete route to satisfy QR requirements.
Residential Developments Located Adjacent to Rail Corridor (numerous)
Acoustic impact of rail noise upon proposed residential
subdivisions or multi-unit residential developments. Determination
of noise barriers and/or building envelope constructions to comply
with internal noise criteria.
eg. 1537 Beenleigh Rd, Kuraby
QR Container Terminal Upgrade, Acacia Ridge
Acoustic impact assessment of container
terminal upgrade upon residential properties to the west of the terminal.
Background and ambient noise level monitoring at the nearest residential
locations. Prediction of noise levels for the upgraded terminal operations
using SoundPLAN software.
QR Container Terminal, Merinda (near Bowen)
Acoustic impact assessment of new container terminal.
Background noise measurement and prediction of noise levels from operations
at nearby residential dwellings. Recommendations for noise mitigation
measures.
Wheel Squeal, QR Rail Yard, Mayne
Acoustic investigation of wheel squeal from the
entrance rail loop and cross-overs in the rail yards. Background
noise measurements in the nearest residential areas. Measurements to
estimate the sound power level of wheel squeal events. SoundPLAN modelling
to estimate the impact of additional noise barriers, compared to a
water spray noise mitigation system.
QR Container Terminal, Ingham
Acoustic impact assessment of new container terminal.
Background noise measurement and prediction of noise levels from operations
at nearby residential dwellings. Recommendations for noise mitigation
measures.
