The Radley College, Clocktower Court is a Southern Winner of the RIBA awards for 2014. The English Cogger Partnership (now Sustainable Acoustics) are proud to have been a part of the design team.

Sustainable Acoustics, working with Design Engine Architects are delighted to be developing the acoustic strategy on Phase 1 of the Neuro-Rehab unit known as Cedar Park, in the village Enham Alamein, near Andover. The idea is that this facility assists with the introduction of people back into community-style living.

Vibration and structure-borne noise from passing passenger and freight trains can cause both perceivable vibration and audible noise within dwellings that radiates from the structure. Careful design of the foundations and structure enable adequate controls to be put in place that avoid problems once occupied. Sometimes structural isolation is necessary to meet appropriate standards and expectations, which can be a costly risk to a project.

Bringing F1 to London - enabling car demos and late night partying to the heart of the city for Eddie Jordan and his band.

Sustainable Acoustics has been instructed to investigate the acoustic sound insulation between floor 29 and 30; and the capacity of the music system to be able to reproduce a sound field that will not be intrusive to the commercial operation on the 30th floor.

Marson’s have instructed Sustainable Acoustics Limited to assess and set the control measures for the generation of amplified music in the outside terrace in the premises known as Pitcher & Piano.  The exercise was completed in response to the service of an abatement notice by Swansea City Council.  The assessment also considers the noise levels inside the venue to balance the customer experience and consider the impact on staff.

Peter was instructed on behalf of a Town Council in a difficult case concerning an application under section 82 Environmental Protection Act 1990. As if often the case with section 82 cases the applicant was a litigant in person. Peter produced his report swiftly and it dealt with all the significant points regarding whether a statutory nuisance existed; his previous experience as a local authority officer and his general wealth of experience was a decisive factor in the subsequent litigation. 

Miller Argent are planning to develop a new surface coal mine at Nant Llesg near their existing Ffos-y-fran mine at Merthyr Tydfil in South Wales. Miller Argent is keen to minimise any potential impacts in the local communities and has called upon the expertise of Sustainable Acoustics (previously The English Cogger Partnership), together with Curload Consultants Limited, to undertake the noise and vibration assessment for the Environmental Statement.

Construction & Operational noise control at the new XCel Sports Hub.

Sustainable Acoustics was commissioned by the Royal Borough of Greenwich to provide acoustic design advice for the construction of St. Mary Magdalene Church of England School, the proposed new school at Millennium Way, on the Greenwich Peninsula within site of the O2 arena. This site is affected by noise from London City Airport and the busy Millennium Way.

St George the Martyr Church in Newbury, carried out a significant refurbishments of its existing church building, including a provision for improving the acoustics within the main hall space where people were finding it difficult to hear speech. The small church was renowned for its warmth and for the acoustics that supported the sound of the choir, so the brief was to improve the space for speech without affecting its use.

Sustainable Acoustics is working with Capital and Provincial and Architects LOM to produce the acoustic strategy on the development of the Care and Rehabilitation Centre (CRC) and a workshop building to create a Charitable Hub providing communal facilities for QEF and other partner charities in their HQ in Leatherhead. The site is close to the M25.
