Nova Victoria, Land Securities

Having worked on various schemes on this site for 6 years, a final scheme came into fruition in around

2012.

At a cost of around £2billion, this 5.5 acre island site to the north of Victoria Station. Nova, Victoria is an

architecturally daring urban campus that delivers a new and vibrant destination for London. The

complete development comprises five buildings within a new, 82,700ft2 pedestrianized, landscaped

public space at the heart of London's prestigious West End.

I led the acoustic consultancy work on the final scheme from the pre-application stage all the way to the

detailed design stage (RIBA Stage E). This involved preparing an Environmental Statement Chapter

with a detailed demolition and construction noise and vibration assessment, preparing a detailed design

for the architectural elements in relation to acoustics, and provide advice in relation to Crossrail line 2

and re-radiated noise from the underground tunnels beneath the development. One of the biggest

challenges for this development was the detailed design of the extensive building services installations

which comprises a large energy centre in the basement and numerous dry air coolers and air handling

plant located in various external roof top plant areas.

Millbrook Power Station, Watt Power

I prepared the Environmental Statement Chapter for the Development Consent Order (DCO) application

for a £200milion power station near the village of Millbrook.

The Power Generation Plant operates as a Simple Cycle Gas Turbine (SCGT) peaking plant and is

designed to provide up to 299 Megawatts (MW) of electricity. This incorporates up to five gas turbine

generators with up to five exhaust gas flue stacks.

The noise and vibration impact assessment included a prediction of the impact due to overhead lines

associated with the corona discharge.

Park House, Oxford Street, Barwa Real Estate Q.S.C

I provided acoustic consultancy services for this £250m mixed used development from 2004 until its

completion and handover in December 2012.

Park house is a mixed use redevelopment covering a complete 1.04 acres city block on the edge of

Mayfair, fronting Oxford Street. The building includes prime retail space at basement, ground and first

floor levels. The levels above the retail are split into two parts comprising seven floors of prime

Mayfair office space to the western end and 39 private residential apartments to the east.

The acoustic consultancy services included the preparation of the noise and vibration chapter for the

environmental statement and detailed design to completion.

I was novated to the main contractor to assist with meeting the employer’s requirements (which I

prepared) after Stage E (Stage 4) and final commissioning.

The building is probably the most complicated vibration isolated building in the world. The vibration

isolation proposals were put in place in order to protect the noise sensitive uses from underground

train movements (LUL central line runs below Oxford Street).

Bespoke high quality double glazing was specifically designed, tested and installed on the north

façade fronting Oxford Street, the busiest retail street in Europe.

The party walls and floors were designed to significantly exceed the minimum requirements for sound

insulation under the building regulations.

The extensive building services were designed to be inaudible at neighbouring premises and utilized

internally to provide sound masking and therefore enhance acoustic privacy in the residential and

commercial parts of the mixed use scheme.

Continuous noise, vibration and dust monitoring was undertaken during the demolition and

construction periods to ensure that suitable limits were adhered to.

National Aquatics Centre, Beijing Olympic Games

Comprising a steel space frame, the aquatics centre is the largest ETFE clad structure in the world

with over 100,000 m² of ETFE pillows that are only 0.2 mm in total thickness. This necessitated a

careful consideration of the acoustics in the space in order to ensure the safety of the users without

sacrificing or diminishing the aesthetic aspirations of the architect.

I created an acoustic model of the building in Catt Acoustic in order to review the internal acoustic

properties of the building and more specification the reverberation time and the speech transmission

index in relation to PA announcements.

I also devised a testing methodology (long before ISO:140-18 was published) in order to review the

internal noise levels due to heavy rainfall (apparently prevalent in China during the summer). A

bespoke sound transmission test was also devised and the testing was witnessed in the acoustic

laboratories of Tsingtao University in Beijing.

Queensway road link

I prepared the ES chapter for the noise impact assessment during construction and operation for a

new road link. This included a detailed DMRB assessment and identification of dwellings eligible for

additional sound reduction provisions based on the noise insulation regulations.

Eden Walk, British Land

I prepared the ES chapter for the redevelopment of Eden Walk shopping centre in Kingston Upon

Thames including an additional 400 apartments and a landmark tower. The work comprised

extensive surveying of the existing climate, the generation of detailed 3D acoustic models, and

consultation with the local authority, liaison with the design team (i.e. in relation to external building

fabric make up and ventilation). I also provided advice in relation to the sound insulation performance

of the separating elements between the proposed apartments and the retail premises which included

shops, restaurants and a cinema.

National Audit Office, Wates Construction

I worked for the contractor to ensure the employers requirements were met for the refurbishment of

the listed building which houses the National Audit Office. Employer’s requirements were refined in

order to enhance the acoustic environment. Various advice was provided in relation to the

performance of the external building fabric, fit out design including surface finishes and partitioning

detailing and building services noise and vibration control. Several site visits where undertaken during

the yearlong construction period in order to monitor progress. A complicated atmospheric plant noise

assessment, which included various mitigation measures, was undertaken to ensure suitable limits

were met and the planning conditions discharged.

Google premises, Google

I provided acoustic consultancy services to Google’s various premises near Victoria Station. This

included acoustic design of a small cinema, recording studio, gymnasium, restaurant and even a

stage set up for live bands (inside a normal office building). In addition to building acoustics related

work, design input was provided in relation to the atmospheric plant noise impact from additional

building services plant which served the new uses.

Ebury Square, Berkeley Homes

I provided a complete acoustic design for a luxury residential development at the edge of Belgravia

for Berkeley Homes. The Circle and District line is situated in the basement (north-west corner) of

the development. Due to high levels of tactile vibration and re-radiated noise due to train

movements, the whole superstructure was placed on suitably designed spring bearings. Duplex

apartments below the ground floor isolated line were also vibration isolated using a floating room

principle. The internal building fabric was also enhanced due to the high market value of the

apartments. All apartments were equipped with fan assisted gas fireplaces which needed special

noise attenuation measures due to their large number and the fact that they were overlooked by

nearby residential premises.

Lillie Square, Capital and Counties

I provided the detailed acoustic design following planning permission for the Lillie Square

development which is one of the largest and most high-profile residential developments in London,

transforming what was a 7.4 acre car park on Seagrave Road into 808 high-end homes set around a

new garden square. Services included train induced vibration advice, external and internal building

fabric design and building services acoustics.

62 Buckingham Gate, Land Securities/Sir Robert McAlpine

I completed the acoustic design services from pre-planning to completion (including commissioning)

for this landmark building which offers 23,870 sq m of office space over 11 floors and 1,442 sq m of

retail on the ground and upper basement floors. The greatest challenge for this project was the

acoustic design of the extensive roof top plant which included large chiller units, dry air coolers and air

handling units as these were overlooked by commercial and more importantly residential premises.

Several trips to factories and acoustic laboratories in Europe occurred in order to ensure that the

completed development didn’t require any fine tuning prior to handover.

Great West Quarter, Brentford, Barratt Homes

I provided acoustic design services for a mixed-use development comprising almost 800 private

and affordable apartments, shops, restaurants, a pub, health club, art gallery, crèche, hotel and a

landmark 25-storey double-skinned tower. The successful conversion of Grade II listed, Wallis

house situated to the east of the site, from commercial to residential/commercial accommodation

resulted in the receipt of a 2009 British Home Awards commendation for conversion development

of the year.

British Embassy Jakarta, Mace International

I provided acoustic design in terms of a bespoke BREEAM brief for this 3,800 m² embassy building

which is designed over three levels and is located on a 1.5 hectare site in central Jakarta. The top

floor is residential in use with two office floors below. Acoustic privacy design of various partitions,

moveable walls for several cellular offices, meeting rooms, interview rooms and ambassadorial

residence was successfully completed which included design input on architectural acoustics,

building services acoustics and the design of a suitable sound masking system.

St Thomas Hospital, London, Phillips

I provided detailed acoustic design for the placement of three new MRI’s in two wings of the hospital.

One of the MRI units produced reverberatnat sound pressure levels in the region of 105dB and

another (quieter) unit was placed on a thin suspended concrete slab underneath recuperating. Night

operation of one of the units was also accommodated though a successful and convoluted sound

insulation design.

Northern Line Extension, Ballymore

I provided assistance in the discussions between the developer for the Embassy Gardens residential

scheme and Transport For London. The Northern Line Extension would operate in tunnels located

beneath the development and there were issues with the proposed planning condition as the

developer believed that it didn’t safeguard their assets in relation to the impact of train induced

vibration and re-radiated noise. I provided expert and specialist advice to the QC and the solicitors

advising the developer and prepared rebuttals for the work produced by the advisors for the scheme

which ranged from noise consultants, to planners and lawyers.

One Commercial Street, Redrow Homes/Sisk

I provided various services from initial conception (early RIBA Stages) to detailed acoustic design for

this mixed use 21 storey tower in London. The assessment included work associated with train

induced vibration and re-radiated noise, specifying the high levels of noise reduction required by the

composite external building fabric, looking at ways to enhance the sound insulation performance of

the separating floors and walls and minimizing flanking transmission at junctions with the curtain

walling and designing bespoke solutions for the noise control of the building services plant. I was

novated to the contractor and therefore had the chance to closely supervise the construction

progress in relation to the numerous acoustic specifications and was tasked to complete the sound

and air tightness testing of the finished development.

The building won the Award for the “best high rise apartment building in 2013-2014” by the UK

property awards.

Magna Park in Lutterworth, Barwood

I prepared the noise and vibration chapter for the proposed extension to the Magna Park in

Lutterworth, which was for an outline planning application for up to 3 million square feet of

distribution and warehouse logistics floor space together with ancillary lorry parking provision. This

included detailed 3D noise mapping modelling in order to review the impact of the additional traffic at

nearby noise sensitive developments.

In order to appease neighbouring receptors I also provided additional advice (outside the scope for

an outline planning application) which related to the noise impact from the lorry park, detailed design

of mitigation measures and specialist advise in relation to the impact of construction induced

vibration at vibration sensitive equipment and processes.

Alma Estate, Enfield, Countryside Properties

I prepared the ES chapter for the noise and vibration impact associated with the construction and

operation of the circa 800 homes redevelopment at Alma Estate in Enfield. I also assisted with the

engineering design of the development and in particular the design and approach associated with

the noise and vibration impact from the proposed gymnasium, energy centres and a youth centre

comprising outdoor play areas, a nursery, a garage workshop, a hall, music studios and ancillary

space located below a residential tower.

National Stadium Abu Dhabi, Gensler

I provided detailed architectural acoustics fit out advice for the royal box at the National Stadium

Abu Dhabi. The royal box was actually a four storey independent building inside the stadium

comprising meeting rooms, crèches, prayer rooms, bars, dining areas etc. The royal box was also

segregated vertically in male and female areas. The advice also included a review of the noise and

vibration impact to the royal box activities within the stadium including crowd participation.
