The successful attainment of permissions is supported by a full environmental noise monitoring capability. Where appropriate, monitoring is carried out for construction site noise, factory operational noise and for open site activities. Monitoring does not stop at merely reporting the results but advising clients if a problem could arise due to plant deterioration or change of operations.

WBM monitor many mineral and waste disposal sites regularly throughout the year, continually checking that they comply with the noise limits imposed by planning consents. This successful and vigilant monitoring approach is recognised as the best way forward for clients who intend to demonstrate a continuously improving environmental record in the industry. Routine noise monitoring at mineral sites that demonstrate regular compliance can prove useful in support of applications for proposed extensions.
