Acoustic EIA Support

Environmental Impact Assessments have been required for certain major developments since the implementation in the UK of the European Council Directive on Environmental Assessment (EC Directive 85/337/EEC). REC Acoustics have experience in providing EIA chapters for Noise and Vibration Impacts for commercial and mixed-use developments on a variety of scales.
