Noise Sources:

2 Caterpillar 3616 engines
1 Waukesha engine

Noise Level Target:
Facility designed to achieve 43 dBA at the east and west property lines, 350 ft. (107 m) away.

Unique Project Challenges:
The facility is situated in the middle of an agricultural community and because of its location a very stringent noise level target was mandated.

Silencing Solution:
ATCO chose an acoustical assembly with an STC rating of 49 for the walls and roof of the facilty.
