Noise nuisance recorder kits

International construction
services company ISG is
using Noise Nuisance
Recorder (NNR) kits from
Casella CEL to monitor
noise levels on a £16m
project to refurbish and
upgrade City Tower in
Basinghall Street, London.

The refurbishment and
remodelling contract
encompasses work across 10
floors of the 21-storey office
building, some of which will
remain occupied by office
workers throughout the
duration of the project. Five
Casella CEL NNR kits, using
CEL-632 Sound Level Meter
technology, are positioned
on tenanted floors adjacent
to work areas to monitor
sound levels and ensure that
they remain below the
acceptable threshold.

Simon Featherstone, ISG’s
senior construction manager
on the project, which is
situated just 200m from the
Barbican complex, says: “On
all of our construction and
refurbishment sites it is
important to maintain good
relations with tenants and
neighbours by ensuring that
we do not cause too much
noise pollution.”
He continues: “Casella
was recommended by one of
our project managers who
had used their products on a
previous job. We were
looking in particular for a
noise monitoring device that
was compact and easy to
use, combined with an
effective noise reporting
system at a reasonable price.

The Noise Nuisance
Recorder and CEL-632
Sound Level Meter fitted our
brief.”
