Noise reduction strategy for insulation manufacturer

The problem of noise emission to the environment affects all industrial plants neighbouring acoustically protected areas. Noise abatement strategies for entire plants can be built on the basis of data provided by the manufacturers of the noise source machinery (the method recommended for planned investments) or on the basis of data obtained by measurements in situ (the method recommended for existing plants).

The client’s aim was to develop a noise reduction strategy based on acoustic measurements of existing sources in combination with data analysis of the planned investment so that no excessive noise would be caused after implementation.

The noise reduction strategy involves the implementation of 48 anti-noise measures in 7 stages ranked in order of importance. The solutions proposed include acoustic silencers, pipe covers, acoustic enclosures, interior acoustic adaptations and acoustic screens.

The project was composed by 1 project manager and 3 acoustic specialists.

Software used on the project included CadnA, QGis, NoiseImage and MicrosoftOffice.
