HIGHWAY NOISE MODELING
In accordance with the Environmental Noise Evaluation and Management Regulation, road noise measurement, evaluation, noise modeling and reporting services are provided.
Highway modelling; It can be done for every karayolu that is in the planning phase and operation phase. In this way, for the highways that are in the planning stage, the possible impact on the surrounding houses before the construction is completed can be determined.
Regulation on Evaluation and Management of Environmental Noise (ÇGDYY) Highway environmental noise criteria are given in Article 18 in Chapter Four. Regulation on Evaluation and Management of Environmental Noise Article 18 is as follows:
ARTICLE 18 – (1) The noise level emitted from the highway and the limit values for the prevention of noise are given in Annex-VII Table-1. The level of environmental noise originating from highways cannot exceed the limit values in Table-1 in Annex-VII.
ÇGDYY ANNEX-VII Table-1 Land values for road environmental noise
Railway Noise Modeling Example
INDOOR-OUTDOOR NOISE MODELING
Modeling and reporting of indoor noise and indoor-outdoor noise is provided. Indoor noise is a modeling and reporting study that shows how the noise sources inside the building are distributed in the building and how the noise inside the building is distributed to the points outside the building in accordance with TS EN 12354 standards. In addition, it is a reporting study on which building materials should be used to ensure the indoor noise limit values given in Table 9 of Annex VII of CGDYY during the spread of noise outside the building into the building during the building construction phase.
The sample indoor-outdoor noise propagation model prepared by our laboratory is as follows:
