Some of our work

Examples of our sector specific experience

Project Nova

Brought into the project at the tender stage by Mace, we were asked to do an acoustic audit of the RIBA Stage 3 design to identify any risks or opportunities for the contractor. Once Mace had been appointed, we were employed as acoustic consultants to keep watch over Stage 4 Technical Design, Stage 5 Construction, and Stage 6 Completion.

Hadley Community Learning Centre

Hadley Learning Community School in Telford, Shropshire is an early example of a school build under BB93. Initial design schemes of the school incorporated all levels of preschool, primary school and secondary school in separate buildings in a campus type layout. It was these initial design schemes that enabled Telford Council to identify what they didn’t want: a campus.

Thameslink 2000 Environmental Impact Assessment

The £6.5bn government-sponsored Thameslink Programme has transformed north-south travel through London Bridge. The Programme dates back to the early 1970s when it was proposed as the Borough Market Viaduct Capacity Enhancement Scheme. After going through various iterations, the project was given fresh life in the millennium and rebranded as the Thameslink 2000 (later TL2K) project. The scheme included improvements to capacity and numerous stations throughout the South East rail network. At Borough Market, for example, a new viaduct effectively doubles the line capacity for all services into Cannon Street, Blackfriars and beyond.

From our customers

Adnitt Acoustics clients

I think I first engaged Adnitt acoustics some 15 years ago and have used your services whenever I have required the assistance of an acoustic consultant ever since.

As always, the project at 22-23 London Road ran very smoothly and we were very happy with the service you provided.

Amsbury Developments

Adnitt were able to turn our requirements round in very quick time with very little notice. The standard of the report was good and I would be very happy to use you again for future projects.

Iceni

DRACE GEOCISA has trusted Adnitt Acoustics for the evaluation of structural noise in buildings under construction or rehabilitation. The collaboration has been very satisfying because of their know-how and professionalism

Drace Geocisa

Adnitt mastered the complex acoustic requirements for this education building which contained a very diverse and not acoustically complementary range of uses.

Sir Robert McAlpine

The greatest compliment that I can express to the acousticians on this project is that this multi-function arts venue worked straight out of the box on Day One. Whilst accepting that there were many contributors to the successful end result, Hunter Acoustic’s and Adnitt Acoustics' care and detailing throughout the design process was a real contributor to the problem-free commissioning of this theatre. During system tuning, a small orchestra and singers tested the room acoustics and the ACS variable acoustics system. This was a pleasurable experience because the engineers were able to concentrate on the optimum setting up of the system without spending time compensating for faults. The dynamic of the sound experience for both the performers on the stage as well as the listeners in the auditorium was evident from the compliments given afterwards.
