SERVICE:

Warehouse Sound Level Compliance Testing

DESCRIPTION:

Marcus Dairy proposed a new warehouse facility in Beacon, New York which could be a potential nuisance to some neighbors due to operating truck refrigeration units and truck engine idling noise.

Tech Environmental conducted pre-construction noise compliance testing at the site to satisfy the zoning requirements of the City of Beacon Zoning Regulations, Chapter 223-29. These regulations required industrial equipment to comply with specific pre-1960 Octave Band sound levels.   Compliance was demonstrated.   Tech's assessment also included recommendations for noise abatement measures.
