NEW ENGLAND MOTOR FREIGHT - South Brunswick, NJ

BSA was proud to assist Eastern Freightways , a division of New England Motor Freight, with community board approval of a parking lot expansion. Our services included extensive documentation of existing noise levels in the area from the existing facility, as well as modeling the affects of noise from other nearby sources such as: heavy traffic, railway activity, air-conditioning equipment, etc. The project included legal testimony and expert witness representation in community board hearings, against other acoustical consulting firms. We were able to get the project approved and respond in a positive way to concerns over future noise levels from the facility, as voiced by neighbors.

UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND HORNE POINT LABORATORY

Cambridge, MD

BSA provided a comprehensive noise analysis with specific attention to noise emissions from the equipment associated with an all-new pier and laboratory. The new pier extends into the Chesapeake Bay in close proximity to private waterfront homes. BSA’s acoustical services included a survey of existing noise levels, noise code review, architectural / mechanical / environmental noise analysis, and schematic mitigation design for noise code compliance. The project was granted approval in late 2005’.

In addition to the BSA projects listed above, the principals at BSA have provided expert witness testimony and acoustical analysis related to site approval work, including environmental assessment and environmental impact statements for the following projects in the states listed:

Reading Hospital Garage/Chiller Plant – West Reading , PA

Tiffany & Co. Distribution Center – Hanover , NJ

Lexicon Pharmaceuticals – Hopewell , NJ

Tarrytown Concrete Recycling Center – Tarrytown , NY

Pfizer World Headquarters Helipad approval - New London , CT

All BSA projects include full principal-level involvement and expert witness testimony would be provided by the principals of the firm. We have an excellent track record (currently 100%) in getting our client's projects approved. We use state-of-the-art factory-calibrated testing equipment that is traceable to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). We not only look at hard numbers, but qualitatively what the numbers mean in terms of human perception. Although noise and vibration requirements can sometimes be complex, we provide excellent layman explanations.
