Iroquois Gas Transmission
Acoustical buildings

General Description:
A unique assignment for ATCO Noise Management involved noise abatement for Iroquois Gas Transmission's Wright, New York station. The station not only had to achieve a design goal of 42 dBA, monitored at 300 feet but it had to blend in with the rural countryside. ATCO Noise Management treated each significant noise source - gas turbines and compressors, combustion intake and exhaust, lube oil cooler, cooling and ventilation fans - then built the station buildings to look like barns. Wright's station is barn red with cupolas, a weather vane and exhaust stacks that resemble farm grain silos.
