Industrial noise management solutions for industrial operations

Whether your operation is a refinery or a timber mill, operational noise is one of your biggest challenges. You need to balance growth while reducing noise impacts on local communities. Determining your noise emissions can be particularly difficult if your operations are adjacent to other industries or in industrial complexes.

Vanguard Technologies has developed a solution that can help you manage noise emissions in real time. We can provide valuable predictive insights into your operations by integrating readily available data (such as weather, noise, and SCADA) so that you can see your noise contribution quickly and accurately and use this information to help reduce operational risks.

Real-time noise monitoring with alerts/alarms

With our noise monitoring technology, you can monitor performance in real time, set thresholds based on compliance limits to trigger immediate alerts, and implement immediate, automated remediation action or prevent regulatory thresholds from being breached.

REMS Directional

Integrate operational data and weather forecasts, model impacts, and explore mitigation options

Integrate available operational data and weather forecasts to deliver integrated real-time noise modelling that can both analyse and predict potential impacts, and test potential mitigation work to see what its effects will be in the real world.

What Does Nexus Do?

The right formula for optimal production depends on the correct data

Formulas can be ‘iffy’ if some of the variables are unknown—these unknown factors can interfere with otherwise sound suppositions, theories, and extrapolations. The key to accuracy is starting with the correct data and understanding the factors through which that data can and should be analysed. If you can’t trust the data, then that’s almost the same as not knowing or having the data. Without accurate data, you may retreat to a ‘safe zone’, often well inside the regulatory guidelines, which leads to conservatism in decision-making and results in conservative yields.

The key to achieving optimal results when looking for industrial noise management solutions is data that can be relied upon. And reliable data depends on the quality of the measurement tools and understanding how to use them.

Our Products

Nexus Vanguard Technologies

Nexus: Predictive Environmental Noise and Dust Intelligence

Nexus helps industry plan operations, avoid noise and dust compliance breaches, and reduce the risk of complaints. It’s a new approach to environmental management that uses real-time predictive modelling with operational data, measurements, and calculations based on planned activities.

REMS Environmental Monitor

REMS: Environmental Monitoring

Manage noise, dust and vibration compliance in real time with Remote Environmental Monitoring System (REMS) and reduce risk. REMS is available in a range of configurations to suit your needs. Existing third-party hardware can also be retrofitted and integrated into REMS to provide a comprehensive, accurate environmental management system.

Support Services

Industries We Work With

Ports

Ports are busy and dynamic environments, and their activities such as cargo handling, ship operations, and transportation can generate noise. Implementing real-time noise management into ports operations enhances community relations, ensures compliance with noise regulations and supports the overall efficiency and competitiveness of port activities.

Mining

There has been tremendous growth in the mining industry in using an integrated noise modelling approach as a management tool. Industry leaders want to be proactive and balance growth, and they need to comply with noise regulations and standards—using technologically advanced solutions helps them stay competitive and compliant.

Construction

Construction activities often generate significant amounts of noise that can affect nearby communities. Managing this noise is essential to comply with regulations and maintain positive relations with the surrounding environment. Construction companies use our solutions to effectively manage the impacts of noise and minimise disruptions to the community.
