mechanical system analysis
Review and evaluate potential noise issues due to building HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and other building systems with respect to specific interior acoustical environments.
vibration isolation
Evaluation and attenuation of vibration within structural systems generated by building equipment to help ensure an excellent acoustical environment for working, listening, and performing.
room acoustics
Establish room proportions, volume, and material selections to meet specific acoustical design objectives. By utilizing architectural elements, sound is directed or absorbed to provide an excellent listening environment for music or speech. Incorporate in-office computer modeling to predict acoustical characteristics of finished spaces. Critical to performance spaces, we also provide design and specification of orchestra shells, adjustable canopies, and variable acoustics systems.
community noise monitoringAnalysis of existing, and the prediction of future noise environments due to vehicular surface traffic, freeway, aircraft, and railway operations. Monitor and develop noise exposure maps for airport, rail, vehicle transportation, and industry for use in community planning.
sound isolation
Provide sound isolation solutions for all acoustically critical spaces to control exterior and interior noise. Engineer cost effective building constructions such as partitions, floor/ceiling assemblies, and building envelopes to provide acceptable background noise levels commensurate for programmed uses.
acoustical & performance testing
Conduct field tests of architectural spaces and construction assemblies to verify conformance of design objectives. Room characteristics such as reverberation time, audio system uniformity of coverage, background noise levels, along with testing of building assemblies required to meet minimum government standards. Includes NIC, STC, FIIC, Leq, CNEL along with other measurements all in accordance with applicable testing standards.
document preparation & deliverables
Preparation of technical reports, outline form specification sections, and architectural detailing provided for coordination and implementation into contract documents.
