Acoustic Sound Treatments On Projects

Controlling noise in rooms, buildings and other environments through acoustical construction is of prime importance when working on commercial construction projects.   When working on any commercial construction project you should be aware of the regulatory standards relating to recommended design sound levels and reverberation times for building interiors.

Premis has delivered a number of refurbishment projects that have included acoustic sound treatments for lecture theatres, specialised medical and other areas.   When working on the molecular lecture theatre at the University of Queensland St Lucia campus, the Premis team engaged a specialist contractor to repurpose the existing plastic shell chairs that were melted down and transformed into unique three dimensional features that are lit from behind.

The molten plastic forms were placed within the acoustic wall treatment for the dual purpose of reducing noise as well as a unique art feature. This project also incorporated perforated tiles and acoustic treatment in the ceiling.

Another Premis project that included acoustic treatment work was the Goddard lecture room also at the University of Queensland.  The acoustics in this project included special acoustic ceiling tiles.

As this is a heritage listed facility Premis was meticulous in protecting the existing floor and benching as it has accommodated students for 60 years.  This lecture theatre is also one of the last remaining theatres on the campus that have retained the original build details and layout.

Premis also recently completed a staged project at the Queensland Police Headquarters Forensics Unit in Brisbane that included the refurbishment of the video laboratories high acoustics audio room.   Extra measures included acoustic panels on the inside of the room as well as acoustic attenuators, to absorb the sound and ensure that it doesn’t bounce around the room. These measures were integral to the project to ensure confidentiality during criminal investigations.
