HGC Engineering uses advanced noise and vibration computer modelling software and measuring techniques in providing our clients optimal solutions.
These capabilities include:
- Finite Element Analysis (FEA) Techniques for modelling how
vibration affects buildings and structures
- Modal Analysis is used to determine vibration modes in
structural components that may require vibration and shock isolation or seismic qualification.
- Sound Intensity Measurements for determining the Sound Power
and Sound Pressure of numerous industrial noise sources, allowing for source ranking of individual sources.
Corporate Expertise:
----------------------- HGC Engineering provides consulting for noise control, vibration isolation and acoustics in architectural, environmental, industrial and product development areas. Specific areas of expertise include building vibration isolation where there is an impact from rail or subway lines, causing the need for noise and vibration impact studies. In Industry our services are needed for designing effective control measures when it comes to plant and equipment noise or vibration. Overall, a high emphasis is placed on analysis, measurement and testing through computer modelling and the use of practices such as modal analysis, sound intensity and finite element analysis.
Corporate Language Capabilities:
----------------------- English, French, Malayalam
Proj: Jamaica Broilers Cogeneration Plant Country: Jamaica Contribution:
Conducted a noise assessment of a new 16 megawatt facility. Analysis included sound power determination and source ranking using ISO 9714, sound intensity measurements, neighborhood noise survey and ambient measurements as well as specification of control measures to meet World Bank criteria.
