Underwater Noise Monitoring and Assessment
Offshore, port and subsea noise management
Offshore facilities, ports, exploration drilling and pipeline construction can generate high levels of underwater noise.
This can affect sensitive marine life resulting in behavioral effects, hearing damage, injury and even death.
1 Typical problem areas
- Obtaining environmental approvals for new proposals where noise impacts on marine life are relevant
- Limited knowledge of underwater effects and lack of prescriptive legislation makes assessment difficult
- Limited understanding of hearing mechanisms and sensitivities of different species
- Need to mitigate underwater noise from construction activities – eg, piling and dredging
- Excessive operational noise from subsea equipment
- Need to understand impacts of shipping operations
2 Our expertise
- Underwater noise measurements to determine source emission levels and quantify ambient noise levels
- Noise modeling to assess underwater sound propagation and establish risks of adverse noise impacts
- Environmental impact assessments for new proposals
- Interpretation and use of underwater noise limits
- Training in underwater noise management
