Acoustic engineering for complex industrial environments

Acoustic engineering services for mining, infrastructure and defence operations across Newcastle, the Hunter Valley and NSW.

Mining operations, infrastructure projects and defence facilities generate some of the most demanding noise and vibration environments in Australian industry. Navigating WHS obligations, satisfying planning regulators and protecting workers requires more than a standard assessment. It requires specialists who understand the operational context, the regulatory framework and what a defensible outcome actually looks like.

Advitech’s acoustics team works directly with operations managers, project leads and compliance teams to deliver practical, evidence-based noise and vibration management. The result is compliance you can demonstrate and documentation that stands up under scrutiny.

How Advitech approaches noise and vibration compliance

✓
Practical controls, not just reports. Advice is grounded in WHS requirements and site realities. Where engineering controls can reduce exposure and remove the need for hearing protection, Advitech identifies them.
✓
Regulator-ready outcomes. Noise impact work is structured to support approvals pathways and withstand scrutiny from planning authorities and the EPA.
✓
Smarter use of existing data. Where existing monitoring data can be applied, Advitech uses it. This reduces cost and turnaround time without compromising the quality of the assessment.
✓
Direct access to the specialist doing the work. Clients deal with Advitech’s acoustics team directly throughout the engagement.

Case Studies

Mining haul truck tyres at an open-cut mining operation

Featured Case Study

Noise assessment for tyre deflation systems in mining

An open-cut mining operation engaged Advitech to assess hazardous noise generated by tyre deflation systems, where high-pressure air release creates sustained exposure near workshops and tyre bays. A detailed 3D acoustic model simulated real operational scenarios, including simultaneous deflations and background workshop noise.

OutcomeImproved WHS compliance, reduced reliance on hearing protection, and clear operational guidance to support proactive noise management.

Common questions about noise and vibration management

A workplace noise assessment focuses on worker exposure. It measures noise levels at specific tasks and locations to determine whether WHS obligations are being met and identifies controls where they are not. A noise impact assessment evaluates the effect of a facility or project on surrounding receivers such as residences or sensitive land uses, and is typically required as part of a planning or development approval process.
