    NOISEBLOCK™ wall system, Hospital Rooftop Equipment Yard

    Rooftop Equipment
    Chillers, Condensers and Cooling Towers and other mechanical equipment generate unwanted noise negatively
    affecting surrounding residential and business communities. NOISEBLOCK™ barrier wall systems reduce the noise to
    acceptable levels.

    Air-cooled chiller attenuation systems

    Residential Noise Compliance


    Many neighborhoods have strict noise ordinances for hearing protection and comfort levels. NOISEBLOCK™ barrier
    panels are used to control noise at shopping malls, schools, recreational facilities, parks and other outdoor applications.

    Power plant process NOISEBLOCK™ wall system

    Utilities
    Electrical sub-stations, transformers and generators cause unwanted noise and can be unpleasant to view.
    NOISEBLOCK™ barrier wall systems reduce the unwanted noise to acceptable levels and block the view for increased
    security.

    Midstream compressor NOISEBLOCK™ walls

    Oil and Gas Compressors Stations


    NOISEBLOCK™ barrier wall systems are a cost effective solution to limit oil and gas midstream compressor noise.

    Transportation / Drive-Thru Lanes / Loading Docks


    Noise from loading docks, traveling motorists on major highways/interstates, airport areas, and railways are effectively
    reduced using Kinetics reflective or absorptive barrier wall systems.

    NOISEBLOCK™ Wall Panel Construction
    KINETICS STL panels are fabricated with outer
    solid shell of 16/18 gage and inner perforated shell of 22
    gage. Panels are stiffened with 18 gage internal channels
    and edge rails. The acoustic grade fill is 2.5 to 6 pcf long
    strand fiberglass or mineral wool depending on the appli-
    cation and are inert, mildew resistant, vermin proof and
    incombustible and is suitable for wet/dry and freeze/thaw
    cycling. Mating panels are attached by inherent tongue
    and groove panel joints. Typical panel joints are horizontal
    however vertical panel joints are used depending on
    the project requirements and aesthetics desired by the
    architect/owner.

    Sound Absorption Coefficients


    NOISEBLOCK™ panel acoustic performance is backed by independent testing in a NVLAP accredited laboratory.
    When tested in accordance with ASTM C423, Standard Method of Test for Sound Absorption of Acoustic Materials in
    Reverberant Rooms, the panel assembly shall have the following minimum airborne sound absorption:

    Noise Reduction Coefficient (NRC) is the average of coefficients at 250, 500, 1K and 2K Hz, expressed in the nearest integral multiple of 0.05.

    Sound Transmission Loss


    When tested in accordance with ASTM E90, Standard Recommended Practice for Laboratory Measurement of Airborne
    Sound Transmission Loss of Building Partitions, the panel assembly shall have the following minimum airborne sound
    transmission loss:
    Transmission Loss, dB

    Sound Transmission Class (STC) is determined by comparing test data with a set of standard STC contours as described in ASTM E413,
    Standard Classification for Determination of Sound Transmission Class.

    The acoustic performance of NOISEBLOCK™ panel systems is not degraded through prolonged exposure to noise,
    vibration, pressure differential, rain, wind or snow.

    Engineering Performance and Design NOISEBLOCK™ Panel Joint
    NOISEBLOCK™ wall systems are placed between a
    noise source and a receiver. The barrier creates a “sound
    shadow” zone of attenuation that can be designed to
    effectively attenuation an area either indoors or outdoors
    and at varied distances from the noise source.

    Standard Panel Dimensions


    NOISEBLOCK™ panels are available in standard
    designated widths of 21.625” and 45.625” and lengths
    up to 144”. Other widths and lengths are available by
    special order. NOISEBLOCK™ wall systems incorporate
    as many standard panels as possible and then finish with
    nonstandard panels for cost effectiveness.

    Kinetics engineering group uses the latest AutoCAD soft-
    ware and can incorporate your equipment or system lay-
    out into our submittals to assure proper clearances and
    access locations.

    Structural Steel Components


    Structural steel components and welded assemblies
    are designed for either bolt together (standard) or field
    welding assembly. Standard structural items are shipped
    with one factory coat of primer for protection during ship-
    ping. Kinetics can supply structural items with hot-dip
    galvanized coated finish or factory painted with either a
    wet paint or powder-coat finish depending on size and
    specification.
