Example: Soundproofing for Industrial Warehouse Office A company that was converting an industrial warehouse into offices needed a soundproofing solution to reduce the very loud noise from aircraft taking off from nearby Heathrow airport and flying low, directly over the office. The soundproofing / sound insulation scheme that we designed for the building achieved such a large noise reduction that visitors often comment favourably and express surprise at how quiet it is in the office. Having experienced the very high noise levels outside, several have asked how can this be possible?
Example: Sound Insulation for Industrial Press Shop
When an industrial company moved some presses to a different factory, the noise was so loud that they received 20 noise nuisance complaints in the first 30 minutes alone. The sound proofing / sound insulation scheme that we designed for the building achieved such a large reduction that it made the industrial presses inaudible, even during night time. Our acoustic solution was so successful and made the building so soundproof that, afterwards, a local resident asked the noise consultant why he was bothering to measure the noise when the presses were not running. When the noise consultant said they were running, he replied that's incredible! Fantastic!

Example: Industrial Soundproofing for Metal Clad Building
A company started removing hardened concrete from inside concrete mixer lorry drums using a new technique of blasting the concrete with water at very high pressure (20,000 psi). They built a metal-clad building and put the water jet cleaning equipment and lorry inside. As soon as they started up they received noise nuisance complaints from a company that carries out trailer repairs outside in a yard next to their water jet building. The noise in the yard was 94 dBA with the water jet running (9 dBA above the noise at work legal limit), and was so loud that communication was impossible.
We were asked how best to make the metal building soundproof, so we designed a high performance noise insulation treatment. This was highly successful, reducing the noise transmitted outside the building by a massive 30 - 32 dBA. Our noise insulation scheme achieved such a high sound reduction that the water jet could no longer be heard in the adjacent trailer repair yard. Before, it had been extremely loud.
