Liberty Harbor North Development Project
Client Name:
Liberty View Construction Project Location:
Jersey City, New Jersey Highlights:
Reviewed the drawings for the proposed brownstone and townhouses at Liberty Harbor North, and the proposed partitions. Evaluated the expected sound isolation performance of the proposed wall partitions, the sound and impact isolation of the floor/ceiling assemblies, isolation of outdoor noise through the roof, plumbing noise, elevator sound and vibration, any rooftop mechanical unit vibration, and HVAC equipment noise and vibration. Provided recommendations to improve the sound and impact isolation of the proposed designs for the multi-unit residences.
National Institutes of Health Cogeneration Plant
Client Name:
PRENCO Services, Inc. Project Location:
NIH, Bethesda, Maryland Date Completed: 2003 Highlights: - Baseline Ambient Measurements
- Detailed Acoustical Modeling
- Noise Control Recommendations
- Post-Installation Compliance Measurements
Lewis S. Goodfriend & Associates completed an acoustical analysis of the expected noise impact at the neighboring residential properties along the southeast property line, due to the installation of mechanical equipment associated with the Building 11A Cogeneration Project at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) campus located in Bethesda, Maryland. Based upon the proposed equipment to be installed as part of this project, LSG&A developed a detailed acoustical model of the near and far field sound pressure levels of the cogeneration plant. The results of the acoustical model were used to develop noise control recommendations for the plant in order to meet the internal and property line noise regulations. After the installation of the cogeneration plant was completed, LSG&A returned to the site to repeat the sound pressure level measurements and verified that all near-field and property line acoustical design goals were successfully attained.
Green County Energy Cogeneration Plant
Client Name:
Green County Energy, LLC Project Location:
Jenks, Oklahoma Date Completed: 2001 Highlights:
Baseline Ambient Measurements
Detailed Acoustical Modeling
Noise Control Recommendations
Post-Installation Compliance Measurements Lewis S. Goodfriend & Associates completed an analysis of the expected acoustical impact at the neighboring residential properties to the proposed cogeneration plant serving a suburb of Tulsa, Oklahoma. The acoustical evaluation included the mechanical equipment associated with the three combined cycle gas turbines.
Based upon the proposed equipment to be installed as part of this project, LSG&A developed a detailed acoustical model of the near and far field sound pressure levels of the cogeneration plant. The results of the acoustical model were used to develop noise control recommendations for the plant in order to meet the internal and property line noise regulations.
After the installation of the cogeneration plant was completed, LSG&A returned to the site to repeat the sound pressure level measurements and verified that all near-field and property line acoustical design goals were successfully attained.
Kentucky Utilities
Client Name:
Kentucky Utilities Project Location:
Lexington, Kentucky Date Complete: 1999 Highlights:
Sound Pressure Level Measurements Lewis S. Goodfriend & Associates provided an acoustical analysis of the exhaust stack located at Kentucky Utilities Haefling Station following the installation of a new exhaust silencer. Sound pressure level measurements of three gas turbines were performed in order to document the sound emissions from the turbine. The measurements were conducted to determine the acoustical performance of the new exhaust silencer installed with respect to the design goal for all three units of 65 dB(A) at the site property line. The results of the sound level measurements were used to determine noise control recommendations for the three units operating at the facility.
