The company has been engaged in the study of noise problems, the planning, design and implementation of development projects relating to noise control and aural comfort performance since 1985. The company was later renamed to

SEAL Consultants Pte Ltd

to signify the company’s new core business.

SEAL is literally derived from its core business: Sustainability, Environment, Acoustics, Laboratory.

SEAL’s core business focus

on two aspects: Environmental Sustainability and Acoustics Consultancy:

Sustainability consultancy

mainly focuses on BCA Green Mark and total building performance consultancy – this is where we would deploy performance simulations to predict outcomes for sunpath, radiation, radiance, daylight and glare, airflow and thermal comfort and energy savings to support informed decision-making and BCA Green Mark certification works.

Acoustic consultancy

spanning from traffic noise impact, boundary noise limits, internal and external acoustics, audio and visual noise control – in this arena, we carry out site measurements pre and post-implementations and also for construction noise, analyse the results and provide advice for design directives and preventive measures, submissions to NEA for noise limits. SEAL Consultants Pte Ltd is NEA Registered Noise Consultant.

SEAL has undertaken numerous projects of various scale, types, and offering holistic solutions and innovation to our clients. Types of projects includes but not limited to residential, commercial, office, industrial, infrastructure, healthcare, educational institutions, Data Centre, special use institution, and others.
