Engineering-led acoustic compliance for complex industrial projects

AcousTech works with engineers, project managers, and design teams to de-risk acoustic compliance, from early specification through to validated performance.

Home > Solutions

Acoustic compliance on industrial projects carries real consequences. Approval delays, tender rejections, regulatory fines, and redesign costs all trace back to gaps in specification, inadequate documentation, or systems that don’t perform under real-world conditions.

AcousTech addresses these risks by combining NATA-accredited laboratory testing, acoustic modelling, and peer-level engineering support, backed by the Flexshield Group’s manufacturing capability.

The result is greater confidence at every project stage: from tender through design, approval, and delivery.

Our Solutions

  • Sonic acoustic enclosure
    EPA noise compliance without the approval risk
    Environmental noise regulations exist to protect communities from excessive industrial noise, and the EPA guidelines that govern them carry real weight. Failing to meet them can mean project delays, fines, and community objections that affect both timelines and budgets.

    AcousTech applies acoustic engineering to help businesses meet EPA requirements with confidence. We provide noise assessments, acoustic modelling, and NATA-accredited performance data to support the compliance process, from initial assessment through to regulatory submission and post-installation validation.
  • AcousTech team member measuring items
    Protecting workers from noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL)
    Noise-induced hearing loss is one of Australia’s most common and preventable industrial injuries. Safe Work Australia’s exposure standards set a clear threshold, and facilities operating above it face workers compensation claims, regulator attention, and the long-term cost of an unsafe workplace.

    AcousTech helps industrial facilities manage noise exposure at the source. We conduct site noise assessments, identify the dominant contributors, and design engineered barriers, enclosures, and attenuators that reduce exposure across the work environment and support ongoing compliance.
  • Sonic Series acoustic louvres for pump station noise
    Acoustic specification and documentation for construction tenders.
    Acoustic compliance is a fixed requirement in most construction tenders, but the level of documentation and technical rigour expected varies significantly between projects. Submitting with gaps in acoustic specification can result in delays, requests for additional information, or outright rejection.

    AcousTech supports construction firms through the acoustic requirements of the tender process, from pre-submission assessment and system specification through to tender-ready documentation packages. Our involvement at the pre-tender stage means acoustic requirements are addressed before they become a programme risk.
  • SLM in situ for noise testing
    Technical Support for Architects & Acousticians
    Acoustic consultants and architects need performance data they can specify with confidence, and that means independently verified data rather than manufacturer claims. Regulatory submissions, building surveyors, and acoustic peer reviews all distinguish between NATA-accredited test results and unverified product data.

    AcousTech provides NATA-accredited laboratory test data across our full range of acoustic panels, doors, and louvres, in formats suited to specification schedules and modelling inputs. Our engineering team can work directly with yours on system selection, performance validation, and custom specification development.

Our Process

  • Step

    Consultation

    We start with a conversation, either by phone or video call, to clarify your project goals, site conditions, and operational priorities.

  • Step

    Site Inspection

    Our team conducts a detailed on-site assessment to gather the technical information that matters:

    • Sound level readings and baseline testing
    • Key dimensions and spatial layout
    • Workflow considerations and operator input
    • Identification of airflow paths and service access zones

    This step provides the data needed to solve real problems, not just tick boxes.

  • Step

    Design and Proposal

    Our engineers then develop a custom solution. Every design considers:

    • Required acoustic performance
    • Integration with existing infrastructure
    • Access and servicing requirements
    • Visual impact and architectural context

    You will receive a clear, tailored proposal that is built for your environment and ready to move forward.

  • Step

    Production to Installation

    Once approved, we progress through production and installation with precision and care:

    • Manufacturing of your custom acoustic system
    • Delivery scheduled around site requirements
    • Installation by our experienced team
    • Final review, handover, and documentation

    At every stage, we focus on performance, safety, and minimal disruption so you can keep operations running smoothly.

What our customers
have to say

  • Project Manager
    Toowoomba Regional Council

    The installation went well, and the initial testing has shown a 10 excellent dB reduction, beating the target by 5dB, so a very good outcome for us. The project team was good to work with, too. We will be using AcousTech again on another project at Cambooya very soon

  • Lalji Rathod
    Townsville City Council / MSJ Treatment Plant

    AcousTech was highly professional and delivered all their promises of noise attenuation at the temporary pump station site in Townsville. Work was delivered on time, on budget and as promised, including assistance with post-install noise assessment. Active communication and follow-up from the AcousTech team meant we were constantly aware of progress for this time-critical project.

  • Mike Woodmass | Maintenance Superintendent
    High Arctic Energy Services

    These units fitted like a glove, which was great, as far as their noise reduction they were an absolute game changer on the Rig site, we now hardly know the brake resisters are running, the generators are much louder that the brake resisters now. Thanks for assisting with this and spec’ing the right tool for the job.

  • Melvin Ho Jqin
    Ferrovial Gamuda JV

    AcousTech have been a good partner to the Coffs Harbour Bypass Project providing sound solutions in terms of Acoustic matters for the project. Staff are proactive and professional. KUDOS!
