Public authorities in charge of transports and environment |
|
|
|
|
|
|
In the scope of environment and transport management, we help public authorities to characterize the current acoustic environment, to study various hypothesis of evolution and to identify the best possible configurations. Before implementing a project, we also achieve impact assessment studies so as to check the project compatibility with the overall environment as well as with the economical facts.

CHARACTERISATION OF THE ACOUSTIC ENVIRONMENT
Nowadays, the quality of the environment is one of the population's major concerns. The European regulations now compel every state member to identify the noise levels on its territory.
To master noise is our profession. It is therefore logical that our first competence be to identify, characterize and illustrate it. To do so, we have :

MODELLING THE EVOLUTION OF THE ACOUSTIC ENVIRONMENT AND DECISION ANALYSIS
What socio-economical evolution will experiment the country? Where will be located the new urban, commercial and industrial development areas? What will be the impacts in terms of mobility and public transports? This is just an example among the many questions to be solved by public authorities.
By modelling the various scenarios of evolution for the acoustic environment (modifications in type of road surfaces, infrastructure design, maximum speeds…), we help them to identify the best project configuration.
As a result of a sustained research and development policy and of more than 20 years of experience in the area, our unique service offer combines :

PROJECT STUDIES: IMPACT ASSESSMENT
Before implementing a project, public authorities need to check whether the decision to create or to modify the transport infrastructure is compatible with its overall environment. The economical viability of the project must also be confirmed.
With more than 500 references in the area of transports, we smoothly integrate any multidisciplinary team and work together in order to reach the final validation of the project.
