Managing noise in large-scale projects with acoustic solutions

Strategies for improving industrial workspaces through noise control

In industrial environments, noise control is a critical factor due to the substantial noise produced by machinery and operations. Effective noise control solutions are instrumental in ensuring compliance and safeguarding the well-being of workers.

That’s why, when undertaking a major industrial project that necessitates the use of industrial acoustic doors, acoustic louvres, or an acoustic enclosure, it’s paramount to fully understand these products and their procurement.

Here’s what Flexshield noise control experts say about these highly effective acoustic solutions.

Acoustic doors provide effective noise control

Industrial acoustic doors are designed to limit noise transmission between different areas within industrial settings, while allowing easy access. They achieve this through high sound reduction ratings, sealed edges to prevent sound leakage and a variety of material options tailored to meet specific acoustic requirements. Some models even offer fire-rated options to enhance safety.

Proper installation, regular maintenance checks, and selecting doors with suitable sound transmission class (STC) ratings are important to ensure the effectiveness of acoustic doors.

Acoustic louvres combine noise control with ventilation

Indispensable for use in HVAC systems, plant rooms, and generator enclosures, acoustic louvres not only facilitate effective ventilation but also work to attenuate noise and create a more comfortable environment. Regular cleaning is crucial to maintain efficiency, while selecting louvres with the appropriate noise reduction coefficient (NRC) ensures they are well-suited to the specific acoustic environment.

Acoustic enclosures offer noise control of industrial equipment

Acoustic enclosures help create a peaceful and productive working environment around noisy machinery and plant equipment. Their modular design makes assembly and equipment access hassle-free, while integrated ventilation and cooling systems prioritise functionality and acoustic performance.
