From lek sites and active nests to entire migration corridors, Urban is a leader for managing noise impacts near sensitive wildlife areas.
Whether it is ungulates and small mammals, or raptors and sage grouse, we are dedicated to supporting industry as well as protecting critical habitats – no matter the species.
Environmental Noise Impact Assessments:
Species-specific analysis of operational noise impacts
Design of noise control strategies for long-term or temporary operations
Pre-Operational Environmental Noise Survey
Quantify the existing ambient (background) soundscape near sensitive habitats
Custom Noise Mitigation for Wildlife Protection
Temporary Strategies
Patented temporary sound walls provide protection during critical timing windows such as mating and migration seasons
Allow for operational execution during all times of the year
Long-Term Solutions
Custom designs to protect habitats year-round over extended operational durations
Optimized strategies to minimize noise and environmental impacts over time
