Initial project requirements:

Newcrest Lihir Gold Mine, on Lihir Island in Papua New Guinea, had a diesel-powered generator which was creating excessive noise levels. They sought a solution which would not only quieten the generator noise, but would also allow for accessibility to the machinery.

Flexshield supplied Newcrest Lihir Gold Mine with RW52 acoustic double doors for the diesel generator room, as well as a single acoustic door between the workshop and the office with a vision panel and rating of RW45.

Flexshield solution:

Flexshield’s acoustic doors were the ideal solution, not only reducing the noise of the diesel-powered generator but also being aesthetically pleasing.

The Flexshield team supplied Newcrest Lihir Gold Mine with RW52 acoustic double doors for the diesel generator room, as well as a single acoustic door with a vision panel and RW45 rating for between the workshop and the office.

The soundproofing was completed with double acoustic door with a rating of RW45 between the workshop and spare parts room.
