Party On at Tadpole Bridge

A specialist noise-control solution allowed a Cotswolds hospitality venue to keep hosting events while addressing complaints from its neighbour.

The Brief

Keep the party going without ignoring the neighbours.

The Trout at Tadpole Bridge uses a large marquee for celebrations, but the structure offered little soundproofing and complaints reached the Environment Agency.

Hi-Tech attended a site meeting with the client and the agency to agree a proportionate technical solution.

The agreed approach was a noise leveller that monitored sound levels and interrupted music equipment if the pre-agreed 90 dB threshold was exceeded.

The Approach

Control the noise without creating a poor guest experience.

A traffic-light warning system was also installed inside the marquee so DJs and guests had a visible warning before the cut-off point was reached.

The warning lights were hidden among decorative vines around the structural beams, keeping the installation visually unobtrusive.

Keep the atmosphere. Control the impact.

The project was planned around the property, the customer and the operational environment.

Delivery

A practical compromise that worked for the venue and its surroundings.

The installation was tested and demonstrated for the Environment Agency, with the system operating as intended.

The project turned a neighbour complaint into a measured, enforceable and operationally sensible control strategy.
