Transit centre project a reminder that roof screens are one part of a complete noise mitigation system

It’s easy to look at noise mitigation components in isolation. A silencer, an acoustic plenum or roof screens could all be regarded as a standalone solution to a sound emission problem. In some cases, they are. But mostly they’re critical parts of a wider noise control system. That’s especially true of roof screens, which are …

A Parklane case study: An agile approach to data center noise attenuation

Mitigating unwanted mechanical noise at a data center can seem like an impossible mission, one worthy of a blockbuster action film. It’s especially challenging in the context of a new data center that needs to be taken operational as quickly as possible. Indeed, data centers are mission-critical infrastructure that power a vast digital network—one that …

A Parklane case study: Silencer solution caps noise from a condominium air chiller

One of the most significant negative impacts on life in urban environments isn’t merely from higher-profile concerns such as overcrowding, climate change and poor air quality—although those are all formidable problems. Unwanted noise is just as much a threat, and it’s poised to become an even greater challenge in the years ahead. As cities grow …

Botterell Hall—Achieving noise compliance with a Parklane silencer/barrier solution

Every life-changing scientific advancement needs a hub where it’s first conceived, tested, perfected and then debuted to the world. Botterell Hall at Queen’s University in Kingston, Ont., is one of those spaces. The nine-storey building is home to the school’s Centre for Neuroscience Studies and plays host to advanced heart, stroke and cancer research. It, …
