Noise generated by a plant room serving five major retail outlets will be attenuated by the freestanding Screen.
It will consist of energy-saving, high performance R-type louvres of IAC's standard aerodynamic design and low pressure-drop characteristics.
The robust all-metal Screen will measure 20m long and 3m high with a white powder finish to match the cladding on the plant room building.
The Screen is being designed for trouble free, long life.
Mark Holmes of specialist retail architects, Lyons Sleeman and Hoare of Hook in Hampshire, specified IAC's noise solution and led the project: "The IAC consultant that visited our practice to work through our acoustic screening design informed us of the suitable IAC systems available for our project and helped us realise the product that would best suit our acoustic and architectural requirements".
The most challenging aspect of the project has been time management.
Kevin Shipway is IAC's Project Manager.
"From site scoping and design through to installation we have had an extremely tight timeframe".
"We are confident that we are one of only a few companies in the UK that have the capacity to deliver in such circumstances".
All IAC noise control products are lab-tested and rated and supplied with published data containing air flow and self-noise details.
