Limitations and Stipulations
QinetiQ operates to a strictly controlled and contracted noise limit of a maximum of 125 decibels (dB) at off-site monitors. If it is considered that an activity or activities are likely to create a negative impact on our neighbours QinetiQ will, prior to that activity taking place, carry out acoustic modelling, which gives an indication of the expected dB level that the activity will generate at various locations around the Thames Estuary. This process is repeated during the course of the day if necessary.**
Although QinetiQ will endeavour to notify you when such activities are scheduled, please note that they are subject to not only the daily acoustic forecast, but also to tide times, weather conditions and operational requirements. Any one, or a combination of these factors may mean that the activity has to be cancelled and rescheduled at short notice and it may not be possible to provide you with an updated schedule of work. **
Please be aware that QinetiQ carries out work at MOD Shoeburyness on behalf of the MOD, under contract with the Secretary of State for Defence. Because of the nature of the work, QinetiQ is limited as to the level and detail of information it can provide in these communications. **
Shoeburyness Careline 0800 0560108 – this remains the official route for registering concerns about site activity. **
