Services - SSA Acoustics

SERVICES

We provide design recommendations to help project owners, architects and engineers achieve an acoustical performance for their projects that is better than or equal to industry standards. We support them throughout the building process. We are highly responsive to the issues the team is working on “today”. We provide cost effective recommendations, detailed specifications and CAD drawings. We work with the Construction Manager to provide guidance and assistance to ensure that the details contained within the drawings are completed correctly in construction. We complete testing for STC and IIC performance, reverberation times, and inspect mechanical equipment mounts for proper vibration isolation from the structure.

We provide recommendations for room absorptive treatments, room shaping, and the control of sound through wall, floor, and ceiling assemblies. We are particularly experienced with multi-family residential, schools, hotels, healthcare facilities, auditoriums, commercial and office buildings, and condominiums.

ARCHITECTURAL ACOUSTICS

Evaluating noise generated from mechanical equipment in office, utility plants, and industrial facilities is a specialty feature of acoustics. We are continually active on projects involving large diesel generators, large air-handling units, and industrial equipment.

NOISE CONTROL ENGINEERING

We are knowledgeable about local codes and permitting procedures and can assist your project team by providing recommendations and reports for controlling environmental noise. Examples of typical projects include airports, public utilities, cellular telephone stations, surface mines, and distribution and data centers.

ENVIRONMENTAL NOISE

Hospitals, laboratories, and processing plants can have strict design criteria regarding acceptable levels of vibration. We make recommendations to control vibration in both existing and proposed construction buildings based on measurements and modeling predictions.

SOUND AND VIBRATION ISOLATION

As a full service acoustical consulting firm, we offer the advantage of being able to tailor audiovisual systems to our architectural acoustical designs. We provide audiovisual system design for educational, commercial, corporate, athletic, worship, and theater facilities.

AUDIO VISUAL SYSTEMS

We are capable of providing a full host of testing and services per ASTM Standards. Using state of the art equipment, we complete hundreds of tests each year to determine ratings for STC's, IIC's, RT60's, NC, VC and more.
