Gas compressor
stations can't always be sited where they'll have no noise
impact. When station noise impinges on nearby residences,
enhanced noise control is required. ATCO Noise Management
offers compressor station designers a choice of proprietary
advanced wall systems of High Standard Class (STC), acoustical
advice and experience needed to select the optimum site layout
and design to limit the noise impact. As a turnkey acoustical
supplier, ATCO Noise Management goes even further - right
from design, supply and installation to guaranteed regulatory
compliance.
If your
noise issue involves an existing compressor station, ATCO Noise Management can
help solve this problem too. Acoustical retrofit of existing
facilities is a particular specialty of our company. For
our clients who require acoustical retrofit services, our
construction engineers first conduct a site survey that includes:
- ambient noise levels at the
nearest sensitive receivers,
- diagnostic measurements of
all noise sources,
- source heat loads,
- structural and mechanical
adequacy, and
- operational requirements,
including downtime and maintenance.
The site survey supplies the
acoustical and facility information used to design the acoustical
retrofit solution. Solutions can include:
- installation of the acoustical
building envelope
- installation of silencing
equipment (silencers, acoustically lined louvers, etc.)
- modification to the HVAC (Heating,
Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) system, and
- redesign of the structural
framing and exterior finishes.
