Have you a wall or floor detail that has failed to meet the performance requirements stipulated in the Irish Building Regulation’s TGD-E,2014? Do you have an office where sound insulation is an issue and privacy is a concern? Do you have a primary, secondary, or third-level classroom or lecture space with insufficient sound insulation?
ICAN Acoustics have a comprehensive range of services available to you:
- We can provide you with a second opinion, particularly regarding non-acousticians who have conducted sound insulation tests.
- We can analyse/review third-party data provided by non-acoustician sound insulation testers and verify their results and findings.
- We provide forensic investigation on wall and floor build-ups to identify acoustically weak elements.
- We can quickly identify acoustically weak details at the design stages or examine proposed alterations during construction as part of value engineering exercises.
- We can provide you with independent and impartial advice. Suppose there is any potential conflict of interest on any project or with any supplier. In that case, we will inform you before engagement or as soon as the possible conflict becomes apparent.
- We diagnose acoustic weaknesses and faults on separating walls and floors post-construction.
- We review third-party sound insulation test reports to ensure that standards and measurement/reporting best practices have been followed.
- We provide expert witness services on sound insulation tests, test results and critical review of test reports.
- Where remedial work is required on walls or floors, we can provide clear and definitive corrective action through a detailed technical diagnosis. Non-acoustician technician-level sound insulation testers are not qualified to provide you with any technical advice.
So, when it comes to building acoustics, sound insulation testing or the detailed analysis of underperforming buildings, ICAN Acoustics provides expert advice you can trust.
