Hybrid Acoustical Dust and or Humidity Enclosures

IES offers design, supply and erection of acoustical buildings as well as treatment of existing structures.  We offer our wealth of experience to deliver the most cost-effective acoustical treatment for every project. Our facilities often include:

• acoustical envelope (walls and roof made from component systems)
• acoustical equipment enclosures
• acoustical ventilation systems
• custom designed silencers 
• acoustical personnel and equipment doors
• acoustical windows and translucent panels
• acoustical barriers
• decoupled acoustical lagging
• other silencing, such as acoustic louvers, plenums, vents, etc.

Uses

A piece of equipment may need acoustical treatment when inside equipment emits noise beyond required levels. When noise levels reach 75 dBA, 85 dBA or even 90 dBA at one meter (3 feet), efficiency and safety is compromised. Customized, highly effective acoustical enclosures and or acoustical treatment offered by IES are the solution.

Our structure are effective for noise sources such as:

• stamp press
• brakes
• generators
• compressors
• pumps
• blowers
• motors
• piping
• fans
• conveyors
• drums
• other interior industrial equipment

 Features

Acoustical Envelope

We call an attenuated building’s walls and roof "the acoustical envelope." For the envelope, mass law theory applies so that thick, dense walls attenuate best. Few walls behave exactly according to mass law where sound transmission through the structure is proportional to the weight and stiffness of the walls and roof. This is because walls aren’t static but move, causing vibrations. An enclosures envelope needs to be constructed from materials that both absorb and block sound while reducing vibrations. These materials are acoustical (sound-absorbing) materials, barrier (sound-blocking materials), damping materials, and vibration isolators that comprise our enclosure systems.

Breakout Noise Control

Enclosure openings radiate most of the remaining noise. To reduce the amount of interior noise from building openings, IES provides:

• custom designed silencers
• acoustical doors
• acoustical windows
• acoustically lined louvers
• acoustically lined plenums

The openings are minimized. Special seals and sealant block noise along joints, penetrations, doors and windows.
