Following the catastrophic collapse of the motor cooling fans on several underground mining pump sets, Marshall Day Acoustics was asked to investigate the reasons for their failure in service. The pumps involved were mounted in sets of three and four on mobile carts, used underground to supply emulsion oil to Longwall mining machinery at BHP Appin Colliery, Appin, NewSouth Wales.

Marshall Day Acoustics was commissioned to evaluate the vibration impact of an over rail development at the western end of the Southern Cross Station in Melbourne.

Marshall Day Acoustics was selected for this project as part of a rigorous tendering process and the result is a beautiful asymmetrical auditorium design with the acclaimed London based architect, Zaha Hadid, who won the design competition in 2003.

Marshall Day Acoustics assisted in the acoustic design for Taranaki's largest 5 star green building.

On this project, Marshall Day Acoustics was engaged as a design consultant by Leighton Contractors, a member of the Civic Nexus consortium.

Federation Square is a vibrant and exciting collection of architecturally striking and individual buildings located at the primary entry to Melbourne's Central Business District.

The Federation Square site includes approximately 48,000 square metres of building floor space located on a 3.8 hectare site. Facilities within the site and their associated acoustic issues include:
