Engineering a Better Sounding World

BKL delivers exact solutions, tailored to our clients’ needs. We offer world-class sound and vibration monitoring, diagnostics, predictions and assessments to recognized standards and guidelines—and guarantee the highest quality of acoustical services available.

We know what works and what doesn’t.

Our team unites global experience and local knowledge to address specific acoustical problems. We go beyond theoretical exercises and deliver acoustically effective, cost-efficient, proven solutions for almost every sector.

Sectors

Commercial
From LEED Platinum office towers to hotels and convention centres to pubs and clubs to recording studios, we've got your regulatory and clientele acoustical concerns covered.
Justice and Government
We've designed the acoustics for police stations, courthouses, community centres and libraries across Western Canada.
Cultural
Audiences and performers deserve great acoustics. We can help you control beneficial sound reflections and eliminate compromising echoes and noise from external sources and building services.

Education and Research
Excellent listening conditions for students, teachers and researchers are vital to the success of educational and research facilities.
Energy
Whether you are planning a new energy project or upgrading an operational one, we perform land use compatibility assessments, noise impact assessments for permitting and acoustical design consultation.
Government Services
We work with municipal, regional, provincial and federal governments to develop policy, assist with planning and assess compliance.

Healthcare
In healthcare facilities, good acoustical design can limit building noise and improve privacy, helping staff and patients focus on giving and receiving care.
Industrial
We measure and evaluate industrial noise and vibration, and design noise and vibration controls for both workplaces and communities.
Mining
Performing environmental assessments and also assessing existing noise impacts and noise-mitigation options, we understand the diffuse and potentially adverse effects of mining noise.

Ports and Marine
From monitoring and assessing port-related noise and vibration to designing shipboard noise controls, we work with port authorities, tenants and shipbuilders from around the globe.
Residential and Mixed-Use
We provide comprehensive acoustical testing and guidance for suite-to-suite issues, noise bylaw compliance and the effects of environmental noise on proposed developments.
Sports and Recreation
We can help you enhance arena and facility acoustics for users and for public safety concerns by addressing room acoustics and noise and vibration from mechanical systems.

Transportation and Infrastructure
From airport terminals and bus depots to highways and SkyTrain lines, we can develop acoustical solutions for a range of transportation-related noise and vibration issues.
Water and Waste
For pump or treatment facilities, we provide noise control design and vibration isolation or retrofits, and measure and evaluate existing noise and vibration issues.
