There are numerous advantages to our clients in engaging Marshall Day Acoustics on a wind farm project:
- Proven record of successful wind farm approvals.
- Extensive knowledge of the planning approval process and in the preparation of the range of documents for planning applications, presentation of expert evidence and public liaison.
- Project implementation by some of the most experienced acoustic consultants involved with wind farms developments in Australasia, encompassing specialist knowledge in measurement, modelling and preparation of planning documentation.
- Adequate personnel and technical resources to service a project's demanding time constraints, from planning through to commissioning.
- We are passionate about continually reviewing and developing our knowledge regarding the prediction modelling and potential noise effects of wind turbines. Our Wind Farm Working Group perform ongoing reviews of local and international guidance and research papers, with the intention of improving the accuracy and reliability of our noise impact assessment.
