Our team of experts provided careful acoustic design criteria for the project. In addition, Cerami provided construction noise monitoring services for the MedStar site throughout all phases of construction. To combat disruption from the additional trucks, sifters and debris, the Cerami team conducted extensive sound studies on off-site batch plants. Through our findings, we were able to create 3-D models to present to stakeholders demonstrating the impact and associated mitigation strategies. Some of our noise mitigation strategies included the evaluation of equipment and the recommendation of less noisy alternatives, the implementation of physical noise barriers around the site perimeter, and when residents opted in, the direct installation of noise-reducing window treatments to surrounding homes. The key to our noise monitoring approach was transparent communication and stakeholder collaboration.
