Air Quality & Noise
Landau Associates provides best-in-class scientific and strategic services for environmental regulatory compliance in air and noise permitting.
Landau’s dedicated team excels at developing creative solutions to some of the most challenging air pollutant emissions, control, and compliance projects while meeting the client’s business objectives. Landau’s broad industry experience lends itself to an enhanced understanding of the design and operation of air pollutant-emitting sources within the regulatory environment. Landau also provides acoustic noise measurement and modeling services in support of industrial and transportation projects. Our knowledgeable practitioners model future noise levels and specify cost-effective noise abatement measures in compliance with applicable regulations.

Landau’s Data Dashboard has been developed to support monitoring and download of data collected continuously at remote locations. Initially developed for noise and vibration monitoring, Landau’s Data Dashboard can be customized for any application such as monitoring groundwater levels or water containments, air quality and dust, and more. The dashboard system can be designed to operate off grid through solar installations or through direct power. Landau’s Data Dashboard has been intentionally priced to be a highly competitive and cost-effective solution for remote monitoring.
