Soundproofing Solutions for Industrial Facilities
In industrial environments, managing noise levels is crucial to ensuring both worker safety and operational efficiency. Industrial facilities such as factories, manufacturing plants, and processing facilities often face persistent noise from heavy machinery, equipment, and production processes. Without proper soundproofing, these high noise levels not only disrupt operations but can also lead to serious health risks for workers, such as hearing loss, elevated stress levels, and long-term cardiovascular problems.
The Impact of Noise in Industrial Facilities
Exposure to constant loud noise can significantly harm workers' health. Prolonged exposure to noise levels above 85dB can lead to the release of cortisol, the body’s stress hormone. Over time, this increases blood pressure, raises heart rate, causes breathing difficulties, and can even contribute to chronic conditions such as diabetes and heart disease. High noise levels in industrial settings also lead to increased "sick days" and higher costs associated with workers' compensation claims and personal protective equipment (such as earplugs or noise-cancelling headphones).
On a business level, excessive noise can severely impact productivity. Employees working in environments with noise levels above 85dB experience a 60% reduction in focus, which increases the likelihood of costly errors and safety risks. These disruptions ultimately reduce the efficiency of operations and can have significant financial implications for businesses.
Bespoke Noise Control Solutions for Industrial Facilities
At DECIBEL, we specialise in providing comprehensive noise control and acoustic solutions for industrial settings. Our approach is designed to mitigate noise in key areas, improving both the working conditions and the productivity of industrial operations.
Production Areas: Heavy machinery, conveyors, and equipment can generate excessive noise, creating a challenging work environment. Our soundproofing panels, acoustic enclosures, and vibration control systems significantly reduce noise, allowing workers to focus and work safely.
Offices and Control Rooms: In factories and plants, it is essential to maintain quiet, noise-insulated offices where managers can oversee operations without being overwhelmed by machinery noise. We design soundproof offices and control rooms that reduce noise by up to 65dB, ensuring a calm and focused work environment.
Technical Areas: HVAC systems, chillers, and generators are critical for facility operations but can be a major source of noise. We offer acoustic solutions for technical areas, including specialised barriers and insulation that minimise noise impact, preventing it from spreading into production areas or offices.
Worker Break and Rest Areas: Rest areas should provide a space for employees to relax and recharge away from the noise of the production floor. DECIBEL provides acoustic treatments for break rooms to ensure a peaceful environment where workers can take their breaks without noise disruption.
Innovative Soundproofing Solutions
DECIBEL's expertise goes beyond conventional noise control methods. We have developed innovative soundproofing systems such as modular soundproof booths that offer up to 65dB of noise reduction. These booths are highly adaptable, providing easy access to machinery and equipment while ensuring comprehensive noise reduction. Our customisable designs allow for partial or complete removal as needed, ensuring flexibility without compromising on noise control.
