Soundproofing / Sound Insulation for Industrial Buildings

We can design high performance soundproofing and sound insulation schemes for industrial and commercial buildings. We have successfully completed a number of demanding building noise control projects where a very high noise reduction and a very high level of soundproofing and sound insulation were required.

Example: A company that was converting an industrial warehouse into offices needed a soundproofing solution to reduce the very loud noise from aircraft taking off from nearby Heathrow airport and flying low, directly over the office. The soundproofing / sound insulation scheme that we designed for the building achieved such a large noise reduction that visitors often comment favourably and express surprise at how quiet it is in the office. Having experienced the very high noise levels outside, several have asked "how can this be possible?"

Example: When an industrial company moved some presses to a different factory, the noise was so loud that they received 20 noise nuisance complaints in the first 30 minutes alone. The sound proofing / sound insulation scheme that we designed for the building achieved such a large reduction that it made the industrial presses inaudible, even during night time. Our acoustic solution was so successful and made the building so soundproof that, afterwards, a local resident asked the noise consultant why he was bothering to measure the noise when the presses were not running. When the noise consultant said they were running, he replied "that's incredible! Fantastic!"

Machine and Equipment Soundproofing

We offer a much wider than normal range of solutions to building noise problems. Whereas other types of noise control company and acoustic engineer only provide soundproofing or sound insulation schemes for building structures, we offer a range of technologically advanced machinery sound control solutions as well as soundproofing. Having such a wide variety of sound control solutions from which to choose can provide benefits such as large cost savings and a much higher noise reduction.

Advanced sound control solutions can be applied to many types of machine or equipment in industrial and commercial buildings. Common examples of machine and equipment that can be treated in this way include all types of fan, chiller, air conditioner, condenser, heater, ventilation system, compressor, etc.

Example: Conference and training rooms can suffer from irritating and distracting low frequency drones or rumbles from the heating, ventilation or air conditioning systems. This occurs because the low frequency performance of a conventional silencer (the usual acoustic solution) is poor. In contrast, advanced sound control solutions are highly effective at low frequencies, often eliminating drones and rumbles completely.

Another benefit of advanced sound control solutions is that they generate very little resistance to airflow. This contrasts with a conventional silencer where high noise reductions are achieved at the cost of high resistance, which can impair fan performance or increase energy consumption due to the higher fan speeds required.
