Challenge

A wastewater treatment facility required a sound enclosure to attenuate the noise generated by a turbo fan housing. The application demanded a unique combination of requirements: the enclosure needed to be portable (movable by forklift), IP rated for weather resistance, vented for airflow, and achieve a high STC rating for effective noise attenuation. The enclosure also needed to accommodate operable doors for equipment access and removable mullions for maintenance flexibility.

Solution

A steel-framed enclosure was designed and fabricated using the QuietMod panel system. The enclosure was engineered to be both STC rated and weather resistant, with separate compartments for the mechanical equipment and a telecommunications room.

The design incorporated forklift pockets into the structural base frame, allowing the entire enclosure to be repositioned as operational needs change. Operable doors provide daily access to the equipment without compromising acoustic performance when closed. The ventilation system was designed to maintain required airflow to the turbo fan while preserving the enclosure's noise attenuation capability.

Results

The completed enclosure delivered a forklift-movable structure with fully operational doors and integrated ventilation. The project demonstrates the versatility of the QuietMod panel system for fabricating custom enclosures that meet specific requirements for portability, weather resistance, and acoustic performance simultaneously.
