Noise management solutions for maritime and airport operations
If you’re operating an airport or a maritime port, operational noise is one of your biggest challenges. You need to balance growth while reducing noise impacts on local communities. Like all heavy industry located in busy urban environments with multiple noise sources, ports of all types receive noise complaints—identifying ‘port-related’ or attributable noise sources can be challenging.
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 aircraft/vessel movements) 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.
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.
There’s ‘accurate’ and then there’s Nexus
In relation to reported versus allowable noise levels, terms such as ‘about’, ‘give or take’, and ‘around’ are some of the most frightening words for a production manager, scheduler, mine planner, or head of operations to hear. Where there is doubt, full potential (optimal performance) is unlikely to be achieved, let alone sustained over time.
Noise levels, sources of noise, and other noise variables can directly affect schedules, output, and ultimately balance sheets. Surrounding areas, including suburbs and towns, should not be unreasonably disturbed by operations, so managers must be familiar with and knowledgeable about the environmental impacts of noise and regulatory noise limits.
Our Products
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 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.
Service and Support
We offer a range of services and support to suit your needs. We continue to evolve, innovate, and respond to our customers’ changing business needs. We work with global and local partners to provide services such as installation, preventive maintenance, field work, and software support.
