Underwater Noise Monitoring and Environmental Acoustic Assessment

Underwater noise pollution poses significant threats to marine ecosystems, especially in areas affected by human activity. Common sources include pile driving, dredging, and high-speed vessels, all of which generate intense sound waves that can travel long distances and impact marine life.

Among these, pile driving—used in the construction of docks, bridges, offshore platforms, and wind turbines—is particularly critical. It creates impulsive acoustic signals that propagate both through water and seabed, potentially disturbing sensitive species and habitats.

At Colmar Italia, we use advanced underwater sound recording systems combined with proprietary hardware and software for accurate data acquisition, signal processing, and acoustic interpretation.

Our experienced engineering team ensures high-precision underwater noise monitoring and environmental assessment, supporting clients with:

• Baseline acoustic studies

• Impact assessments

• Real-time sound level tracking during offshore construction

• Reporting for regulatory compliance
