Urban development planning

In urban development planning, the proximity of residential areas to commercial or industrial facilities, sports or leisure facilities and transport routes can lead to conflicts in relation to noise emissions. To meet this challenge, we create reliable noise forecasts based on sound level measurements.

The aim of modern urban land-use planning in accordance with DIN 18005 is to prevent conflicts at an early stage. By implementing graduated levels of use in commercial and industrial areas, targeted measures on plants and buildings as well as adjustments to sound propagation paths a high level of compatibility between different uses is achieved.

• Support for cities and municipalities on urban land-use planning, as well as noise prevention and noise remediation
• Calculation of noise emissions from traffic, commercial activities, sports, and recreational facilities affecting sensitive areas or buildings
• Preparation of noise impact assessments for the designation of commercial and industrial areas according to DIN 18005
• Visual representation of noise situations using colored noise map
• Proposals for measures to incorporate noise protection in development plans
• Proposals for appropriate balancing of interests
• Assessments for the designation of new development areas
• Calculation of area-related sound power levels and noise quotas according to DIN 45691
• Development of noise reduction plans
