Acoustic
Testing & Consultancy Services
Petrochemical Noise
- Noise
within the plant/installation itself, which can effect the efficacy of
communications, interfere with Public Address and Alarm systems or, at
high levels, cause damage to employees’ hearing
- Noise
at community locations within the surrounding environment
Acoustic Testing
& Sound Testing
Our design capabilities include the production
of noise models in order to calculate the impact of developments and to identify
where noise control is required. We
offer a nonsense professional proactive approach to Acoustic
Testing & Sound
Testing, ensuring
you company
receives professional advice every step of the way, with a continual consideration
of cost. Noise control options can be modeled
and different scenarios tested to ensure the most cost-effective design.
We are used to working closely with the other engineering disciplines to ensure
that the noise control design is successfully implemented.
It is common to specify equipment noise
limits for individual equipment items and piping. We have experience of
negotiating noise limits with Vendors and specifying and witnessing factory
acceptance tests.
Noise levels generated by piping can be
very significant on oil and gas/petrochemical installations and careful
consideration must be paid to these sources during design. Our design
capabilities include the assessment of pipe and valve noise and identifying
where acoustic pipe insulation should be installed and the appropriate type of
insulation.
Noise measurements of installations are
often required for a number of reasons, including determining compliance with
noise limits. Our measurement capabilities include monitoring both environmental
noise levels, in-plant levels and determining equipment noise levels for
individual equipment items. We utilise a broad
range of measurement equipment, which allows us undertake survey work in the
most efficient and cost-effective manner.
Employee noise exposure can be assessed for
the entire workforce by combining noise levels within areas or modules (either
predicted or measured) with typical employee working patterns. This methodology
ensures that noise control can be targeted at the areas that will provide the
greatest reduction in exposure to the workforce as a whole. For more
information about noise at work, click here.
For existing installations, we can recommend various noise
control techniques and undertake a cost-benefit analysis of potential solutions.
Where noise control is not practicable, we can determine the extent of restricted
areas and assess the efficacy of Personal Hearing Protection.
