Industrial noise

Noise nuisance impacts on working comfort and the living environment.

We will be happy to help you manage unwanted process noise, to minimise disturbance to employees and the surrounding area. For example, with test cells for an engine supplier, soundproofing for a ventilation system or noise barriers for a transformer cabin. If necessary, we can manage the entire process, from the design to implementation, so that employees and others in the surrounding area are no longer troubled by bothersome noise.

Frequently asked questions

Industrial noise can have a negative impact on the health and effectiveness of employees near the noise source. Industrial noise is also undesirable for local residents.

We help solve your noise problem, from the initial request to implementation. Our acoustic consultants analyse the situation and then propose a realistic solution. This will depend on the nature of the problem and your requirements. In many cases, it will involve a noise barrier, casing or soundproofing, or a combination of these.

Will we be working for you? If so, our experienced team of engineers, project managers and mechanics will manage the entire process. If you wish, we will make just-in-time delivery of a turnkey solution.
No project is the same, and that certainly applies in industry. Fortunately, we have a lot of experience with a range of projects for numerous applications. You can rely on us to help you with your noise problem. Nothing surprises us, whatever the problem and however complex, simple, large or small.

Every project starts with an analysis of the situation in which we consider all the options. We involve you in this process too, so that you can see what we base the solution on and how the design develops. We also maintain close contact with you and other parties involved right up to installation. This has proved a successful approach. With our projects, we show what we have achieved for other customers.
Our approach depends on various factors. We consider the nature of the noise source, who we need to protect from the noise and your requirements for the solution. Because the source of the noise is the most important factor, we need to know what we are dealing with. A packaging machine will need a different solution than a turbine exhaust for example. Check out our projects in order see the possible options.
The pipeline systems of machines like turbines, engines and vacuum pumps can cause a great deal of noise. We always address the problem at the place where it will have the greatest effect: at the outlet of the pipeline system. Exhaust noise, flue gas, steam outlet and compressed air silencers can reach soundproofing values of up to 60 dB. Obviously, it depends on the situation and the source of the noise. Can the source of the noise be heard in ways other than through the pipeline system? If so, we recommend a different approach, such as the installation of casing or a noise barrier.

Merford will have limited accessibility from 25 December to 1 January due to the holidays.
