Noise reduction of a technical facility

Reducing the noise of technical facities quite often motivates the recourse to a company specializing in soundproofing such as ITS, to prevent or treat nuisances linked to hardware located:

  • outdoor e.g. in relation to energy production, refrigeration, waste disposal or in relation to more or less specific production or processing activities; the sound propagation outdoor is then at stake and can be reduced either "at the source" e.g. by means of enclosures (canopies) and silencers, or by...

Reduction of exposure to industrial noise

Reducing exposure to industrial noise primarily concerns two communities, separated by a property boundary:

  • workers, with regard to their health. In this matter, European Directive 2003/10/EC (which can be considered a reference document beyond the geographical scope of the Member States) sets the limits of sound levels for the prevention of deterioration of hearing abilities (this is also beneficial with regard to the prevention of accidents at work which could be caused - in the case of...

Noise limitation in a factory

Noise limitation in a factory can and must be considered from two complementary angles: on the one hand (internally) safety at work and on the other hand (with regard to the outside) protection of the environment, starting with the neighbourhood.

In terms of safety at work, it is a question of protecting personnel (e.g. those working in supervision or maintenance) from excessive exposure to noise, which could (eventually: irreversibly) damage their hearing and also cause accidents (potentially...
