NPL can undertake in-situ measurement of noise radiated by offshore operations such as:

• Drilling
• Marine piling
• Shipping
• Dredging

NPL can also measure the noise radiated by marine renewable energy developments including offshore windfarms, and wave and tidal energy devices.

For measurements, a range of calibrated hydrophones and recording buoys may be deployed from survey vessels and workboats. Autonomous recording buoys may be used for longer-term deployments.

NPL can also provide measurements of ambient background noise over sustained periods.

All measurements are traceable to national standards.
