Environmental Impact Studies

Noise Expertise for Smart, Sustainable Development

Environmental noise isn’t just a nuisance—it’s a regulatory requirement.

Whether you’re planning a new facility or expanding an existing one, Memtech Acoustics helps you anticipate sound impacts, meet code, and move your project forward without surprises.

Why Environmental Impact Studies Matter

Local zoning boards and regulatory agencies require Environmental Impact Studies (EIS) to assess the effect of noise from proposed projects on surrounding communities.

Memtech Acoustics provides the acoustic portion of these reports—ensuring your development stays compliant, neighbor-friendly, and on schedule.



We help you:
  • Avoid costly delays due to noise-related objections
  • Meet local, state, and federal permitting requirements
  • Understand and mitigate community sound impact
  • Communicate effectively with municipalities and stakeholders
Whether it’s a warehouse, energy site, hospital expansion, or school renovation, we translate complex acoustic data into clear, actionable documentation.

What’s Included in an Acoustic EIS

Our Environmental Impact Study services are tailored to your site, local ordinances, and project scope. We combine on-site measurement, modeling, and code interpretation to deliver detailed, accurate assessments.

Baseline Ambient Sound Measurement

Field testing to capture existing background noise levels near the proposed site.

Predictive Acoustic Modeling

Computer simulations showing the projected sound impact of your facility using real-world topography, wind, and reflective surfaces.

Noise Source Identification

Analysis of contributing systems such as HVAC units, loading docks, mechanicals, and site traffic.

Compliance Benchmarking

Comparison to local sound ordinances (e.g., decibel limits at property lines during day/night hours).

Mitigation Recommendations

If issues are identified, we include solutions such as barrier walls, enclosure design, or orientation changes.

Formal Report for Submission

A complete, professional report suitable for submittal with your permitting documents, including maps, tables, and summaries for planning officials.
