Case Studies
Acoustic Wall Panel Mural as a Cost-Savings Exercise
The Thelma Chalifoux School in Edmonton was built using the integrated project delivery model, commonly called IPD for short. This model varies from traditional Design-Bid-Build projects in that it allows more collaboration between all of the key stakeholders. As a part of this process, Western Noise Control was brought in to discuss options for adding acoustic treatment into this common area, while keeping costs low.
Community Hockey Arena Acoustics on a Budget
Like every municipality, the City of Chilliwack had a set budget available for the arena, some of which was allocated for acoustic treatment. Unfortunately, that budget did not cover the required amount to meet the recommended reverberation time targets. Budget constraints are not uncommon, so the City of Chilliwack and Western Noise Control worked together on a clever solution to increase acoustic treatment, without additional cost to the city.
