Curt Robinson is a Principal working in the Auckland office, specialising in Environmental, Industrial and Building Acoustics

Curt Robinson attended the University of Auckland graduating with a Bachelor of Engineering (Mechanical).  After a period of travelling, Curt settled in the UK from 1989 until 2002 as a consultant with Det Norske Veritas (UK) and then Senior Consultant with Bureau Veritas specialising in the petrochemical sector: undertaking environmental studies for new onshore facilities; occupational and mitigation studies for offshore installations.  Curt returned to New Zealand and joined Marshall Day Acoustics Auckland office in 2002.

Curt has extensive experience in environmental and industrial acoustics and is able to provide practicable advice and solutions at an early stage of the project.  Often the optimum acoustic solutions are found working with the client and the multi-disciplinary design team.  Curt's experience in working on these types of projects allows innovative solutions to be established early in the project development.

Curt's practical knowledge of acoustics also extends to the design and remedial advice for commercial and residential buildings.  He has recently completed the acoustic design for the renovated De Brett's Hotel and has provided design advice for schools, commercial buildings and private dwellings.

Curt is a keen mountain biker when fitness allows.
