Environmental Noise Impact Study of Aircraft Flyovers

HGC contracted to assess ambient sound levels from road traffic and the sounds of nature which occurred within a new residential development in Mirdif, near the Dubai International Airport, and compare those ambient sound levels to the typical sound levels of the intrusive events of aircraft flyovers. This gave us an indication of the noise impact of the aircraft on the Midrif development. This noise impact study report was then presented to the Municipality of Dubai to demonstrate the potential impact of aircraft flyovers on the Midrif development.

HGC was also contracted to provide building services design, including specification of noise control hardware for the airport’s newest terminal buildings.
