Acoustic Consultancy

Conserve offers acoustic design and consultancy services through its offices in Qatar, India, Canada, UAE and Singapore.
Conserve has a team of acoustic specialist with significant experience in buildings, infrastructure and industrial sectors.

Why Acoustics?

• Acoustics design and testing is now mandated in most of the project specifications.
• Acoustic studies are part of green building rating systems like GSAS, LEED, etc.
• Noise Monitoring is a part of Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) and Construction Environmental Management requirements by Ministry of Municipality and Environment

When to implement the solutions?

• For design projects, it is optimum to involve an acoustic consultant from Schematic Design (SD) stage when wall build-ups, MEP equipment & routing are designed. Incorporating acoustic inputs into drawings and specifications, will avoid confusions and procurement constraints for the contractor post-tender.
• For construction projects, our role will be as a third-party reviewer to validate material submittals for MEP equipment, associated fittings, architectural finishes, etc. before procurement. This will help in reducing implementation of mitigations measures or any abortive works during testing & commissioning.
• During testing & commissioning, our team of acoustic engineers equipped with latest testing equipment can help projects in preparing Acoustic Testing reports in-line with Employer’s requirements

How Conserve’s subject matter expertise distinguish from other players in the market?

• Our MEP division comprises seasoned professionals with extensive experience, will support in providing time & cost-effective solutions.
• Our Sustainability division will play the role in ensuring the created documents/studies are in-line with requirements of the certification bodies (GBCI, GORD, etc.)
• Our Analysis division with a wide range of experience in piping analysis & support design, will advise and provide inputs in arresting noise breakouts by providing proper supports in the network.
• With the collaboration of above disciplines in addition to the acoustic engineers, we can provide time efficient and cost effective to our customers.
