Nuovo Pignone
Acoustical off-skid enclosures for gas compressor buildings

General Description:
ATCO Noise Management Ltd. was commissioned by the turbocompressor supplier to design, supply, and install four off-skid acoustical enclosures on TransCanada Pipelines' main pipeline that runs 8,870 miles from the Alberta-Saskatchewan to Quebec-Vermont borders. The enclosures were supplied with acoustical ventilation systems complete with fans and ventilation intake and exhaust silencers. ATCO Noise Management also designed, supplied, and installed the combustion air intake and exhaust systems. Acoustical equipment doors were utilized in conjunction with an innovative, exterior crane system that allows for the easy removal of the turbine or compressor for maintenance. ATCO Noise Management also supplied auxilliary fire suppression, fire and gas detection, electrical and crane systems, and a utility building at each station.
