New Medical Centre and Library – Clapham, London

Client: United House
Architects: Studio Egret West and DLA Architects
Mechanical Consultants: Scott Wilson

To carry out the detailed acoustic design of the scheme to achieve the Employers Requirements and Planning Conditions. The Health Centre was designed to the new HTM 08-01 acoustic criteria, to ensure suitable speech privacy and acoustic insulation throughout the facility. The main library area doubles as a performance space for music and theatre and so detailed 3D modelling was carried out to determine the optimum compromise between the conflicting requirements.

Pharmaceutical Plant Cooling Compound – High Wycombe

Client: Johnson & Johnson
Project Managers: Modus Unitech

To design the acoustic treatment required to achieve the stringent planning noise limits for a new cooler compound. Due to the proximity of dwellings and a care home, extensive acoustic treatment was required to the equipment together with screening/bunding.

Department of Genetics - University of Cambridge

Client: University of Cambridge
Architects: AMA Architects 

Cass Allen have been appointed to carry out an assessment of the proposed mechanical plant that will form part of the development. We will also provide design advice on noise mitigation to achieve acceptable mechanical plant noise emissions and prepare a report suitable for the local planning authority.

Franklin Building Granta Park

Client: BMR – Granta Park Propco Ltd
Construction Consultants: Gleeds

Cass Allen have been appointed to support a planning application submitted for an Research & Development office building in Granta Park, Cambridge. It will be necessary to include a noise impact assessment as part of the planning application. Our approach is to demonstrate that the future commercial space will provide acceptable internal environments in terms of noise and to determine suitable noise limits for any proposed external mechanical plant.

St Ann's Hospital Refurbishment

Client: Vinci Construction UK
Construction and civil engineering: Sir Robert McAlpine

Cass Allen provided acoustic design guidance to progress the project through to completion, developing acoustic criteria based on the planning requirements, targeted BREEAM credits and the design aspirations for the development. We assisted with the detailed design of the external envelope of the building to achieve acceptable internal noise levels, as well as the acoustic design of separating partitions (walls and floors) and room finishes to comply with the requirements of HTM08-01.
