The acoustic environment on a working resources site is complex. Drill rigs, crushers and ball mills generate high-level broadband noise with significant low-frequency content. Compressors and generators add tonal components that carry considerable distances. Processing plants and materials handling create sustained exposure levels across large areas. When multiple sources operate simultaneously, the cumulative impact on workers and surrounding communities is difficult to predict without a detailed assessment.

Australian mining, oil and gas operations carry noise compliance obligations from multiple directions. State EPA regulations, mine site approvals, community agreements and occupational health standards all set measurable limits, and they do not always align. Demonstrating compliance requires source-specific data, not just a general attenuation figure.

AcousTech works with operators, project managers and acoustic consultants to assess noise sources across a site, model community and boundary impacts and specify systems with NATA-accredited performance data. That documentation is what supports an approval, defends a licence condition and holds up when regulatory scrutiny arrives.

We have worked across extraction, processing and site infrastructure within the resources sector. Whether the issue is community boundary noise, occupational exposure or a variation to approval conditions, we bring verified data and engineering depth to the process.
