THE CHALLENGE
TXU Energy needed to attenuate noise emanating from a gas transmission pipeline facility in Coppell, TX.
The facility was approximately 1/4 mile from a high-end neighborhood whose residents were complaining about the noise.
Sound Fighter® System was hired to design an absorptive barrier for noise mitigation.
THE SOLUTION
Sound Fighter® Systems designed a pair of 3-sided Absorptive Noise Barriers for the facility that effective screened and reduced unwanted noise to acceptable levels at the residences.
The peripheral design sufficiently reduced overall noise levels emanating from the pipeline equipment.
Once installed, the Coppell residents stopped their objections.
Sound Fighter® Systems provided:
- Detailed Engineered Drawings
- Absorptive Panels
- Custom-engineered, hot-dipped galvanized structural steel framework.
