LSG&A engineers completed an evaluation of the acoustical impact at the residential section of this 230 acre multi-use redevelopment that includes 530,000 square feet of who’s who national retailers and restaurants including Wegman’s, Home Depot, Bed, Bath & Beyond, Christmas Tree Shops, Dick’s Sporting Goods and Best Buy.

For the offices, Lewis S. Goodfriend & Associates developed noise and vibration control recommendtiaons for the mechancial equipment including rooftop acoustical barriers and vibration isolation. LSG&A also provided expert testimony as part of the planning process for the entire site plan in front of the Planning Board to achieve a successful approval.

Project Location:
Lacey Township, New Jersey

Date Completed: 2007

Highlights:

• Prepared Rooftop and Property Line Barrier Recommendations
• Calculated Compliance With Noise Regulations
• Expert Testimony for Successful Approval
• Post-installation Compliance Acoustical Testing

LSG&A engineers completed an acoustical evaluation of the mechanical equipment and truck operations for this brand new Home Depot which borders a residential community. The results of the acoustical evaluation was the recommendation of rooftop acoustical screens for all HAVC units and the installation of a 14 foot high noise barrier along the property line of the site.

At the conclusion of the construction of the Home Depot, LSG&A completed sound pressure level measurements at the nearest residential property line to verify that the operations of the new store complied with the daytime and nighttime limits of the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection’s (NJDEP) noise regulation.

The type of operations measured were:

• Truck movements and unloading at the receiving area in the northwest corner of the store,
• Truck movements and unloading at the lumber area in the southwest corner of the store,
• Use of the P/A system in the garden center in the north area of the store,
• Operation of the rooftop mechanical units, installed throughout the roof.

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.

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.
