During design and construction
of a new plant, the following noise control techniques could be applied :
- Buy
quieter equipment;
- Group
noisy equipment in isolated and treated rooms to control noise;
- Install
vibration isolators and inertia base, if needed;
- Install
silencers, if needed;
- Keep
offices far from noisy equipment;
- Build
offices on a independent floor if heavy equipment with reversible motion
(ex. : diesel engine, press, screen, etc.) cannot be isolated;
- Use a
perforated metal bridging for ceiling and a perforated metal coating for
the walls;
- Install
acoustical screens to isolate noisy areas from quieter areas;
- Install
partitions with high sound transmission loss;
- Install
acoustical ceiling tiles;
- Seal leaks;
- Ensure
that noise corrective actions are implemented.
