Acoustical

Employees are a facility’s most valuable asset, and their safety must be a priority. The excessive noise levels that can arise through unprotected or inadequately insulated installations are not just an annoyance for the employees; they are also a risk to their health.

Acoustical insulation is of paramount importance in regard to personnel. Compressors, pumps, control, and relief valves generate significant noise levels, which are transmitted into the connecting pipework. Noise is often increased when gases and fluids flow under high pressure or velocity, and turbulence is generated in the vicinity of obstacles such as valves or orifice plates, or as a result of changes in flow direction.

Noise mitigation begins with the right choice of equipment, materials, and a well-planned layout to ensure minimal noise generation. The performance of acoustic insulation systems is measured by the international standard ISO 15665. Lakeland Insulations has extensive knowledge and experience installing Insulation materials with acoustical qualities. Our acoustical insulation solutions can be used to encase piping and equipment minimizing noises or vibrations, forming a sound and vibration barrier between the covered surface and external areas.
