What Meurs Geluid does

Meurs Geluid is a private Dutch advisory and execution firm headquartered in Woerden, Netherlands, specializing in environmental noise consultancy with a focus on traffic and industrial noise. The firm was established around 1994 and operates Bureau Sanering Verkeerslawaai (BSV), a government-mandated division executing national traffic noise remediation and geluidproductieplafonds (sound production ceiling) management tasks for the Ministerie van Infrastructuur en Waterstaat (Ministry of Infrastructure and Waterstaat) since 1993. Staff at BSV are appointed as supervisory officials empowered to make decisions on behalf of the minister.

The company's core service portfolio includes acoustic research, sound measurements, project leadership for facade insulation projects (Gevelisolatieprojecten), and advisory or project management for noise-related infrastructure projects including reconstructions, road adjustments, and new construction. Supporting technical measures include gap sealing (kierdichting), roof and ceiling insulation, sound-insulating glazing, facade modifications (gevelmaatregelen), suskasten (sound boxes), and specialized windows and doors. Project work spans end-to-end delivery: acoustic research, building surveys, resident communication, permit procedures, construction detailing, tender preparation, execution supervision, and control measurements.

Commercially, Meurs Geluid operates a project-based professional services model, with engagements structured as fixed-price or at-cost (regie) contracts, supplemented by specialist detachment to client locations for short or extended periods. The customer base is concentrated in the Dutch public sector, including municipalities (Delft, Emmen, Utrecht) and national government entities (Ministry of Infrastructure and Waterstaat, Rijkswaterstaat, ProRail). The firm employs 11-50 people organized as a multidisciplinary team combining geluidhinderdeskundigen (noise nuisance experts), bouwkundigen (construction specialists), juristen (legal experts), and financieel specialisten (financial specialists). Marketing is limited to the corporate website and LinkedIn presence, with no disclosed funding, M&A, or external investors.
