AV Ingenieros deals with both the vibration impact as well as the acoustic impact of transit infrastructures on its surrounding environment: roads, railways and airport infrastructures.
Noise impact studies
Infrastructure characterization and calculation of its noise impact on the surrounding environment. Noise impact assessment for existing infrastructures is carried out using experimental measurements and noise impact assessment for new projected infrastructures is calculated using prediction software.
Countermeasures design and evaluation of its effectiveness in terms of affected population reduction. Calculation of the affected population by different noise levels and design of action plans to reduce the exposure of this population.
Vibration impact studies due to railway
Due to the lack of a standard vibration prediction model, AV Ingenieros has developed its own methodology, based on models from technical literature, to carry out vibration impact studies for the new railway systems.
When considering existing railway systems, vibration impact studies are developed using a methodology which combines in situ experimental measured data with analytical models.
AV Ingenieros gives advice about the optimal countermeasure design to be implemented in order to reduce the vibration impact. Its effectiveness is also calculated. During these tasks, AV Ingenieros is always trying to involve suppliers together with clients.
