Pump down the volume
February 1st 2007 Construction of a new pump house at the Sunbury site of oil company BP has led to a noise management contract for Wirral-based Kimpton Acoustics. Stringent planning requirements for the building meant that not only did it need to blend in with the environment, but that all noise pollution had to be minimised. Kimpton was asked to supply five acoustic doors to the pump house enclosure, as well as some soundproofed infill panels. The pump house itself is a timber clad steelwork construction, sympathetic to the surrounding area and Kimpton was able to manufacture bespoke acoustic doors with co-ordinating hardware, all in accordance with the recommendations of an earlier noise impact assessment. Once the construction was complete, a subsequent independent noise survey was carried out which indicated that the potential noise levels of 79dB(A) has been attenuated to the predicted background noise level of 60dB(A), well within More articles from Kimpton Acoustics: |
