MOD Shoeburyness - Exceptional Range Activity: 30 September to 11 October 2024
This is to inform you that during the period 30 September to 11 October 2024, noise generated by an activity at the Ministry of Defence (MOD) Test and Evaluation Range at Shoeburyness may exceed the usual self-imposed limit of 125 decibels (dB) at offsite monitors.
QinetiQ operates the facility on behalf of the MOD and as part of our daily process to manage explosive activity we conduct acoustic forecasting, modelling, test shots and monitoring. If it is assessed that the upper self-imposed limit of 125dB might be exceeded, the work is postponed until more favourable conditions prevail. However, it is not always possible to delay some work and this particular activity will proceed as long as predictions do not indicate that the MOD-adopted maximum noise limit of 140dB will be exceeded.
This exception to the application of the usual upper limit (125dB), will only apply to a single event during the specified period.
If you have any concerns about Range activity, you can contact the Careline team on qqshbenquiries@qinetiq.com or 0800 0560108.
