The Tunnel is an ambitious project located just outside of Charmouth, Dorset. A disused road tunnel has been converted for use as an indoor shooting range and is due to open in the Spring 2010. The facility hopes to be of value to the 2012 olympics as well as local ballistics testing, the police and shooting enthusisats. Fully qualified staff will welcome all groups to come and participate and demonstrate that Shooting really can provide enormous enjoyment when practised within a controlled enviroment with qualified professionals.
Devon Acoustic consultancy Soundguard Acoustics Ltd were required to deliver expert acoustic advice to ensure that local properties would not be affected by noise break out from the site. With the support of the developers and the local police force a Magnum was used as a noise source from which a BS4142 survey was constructed. Additional internal and external acoustic advice was provided to ensure that the design of the build would meet the requirements of the project whilst avoiding any disturbance to local residents.
