Project Overview

DC Thomson completed the renovation of its Dundee headquarters in the heart of the city centre. CSP Acoustics provided guidance on several aspects of the office acoustic design, which included sound insulation performance requirements for partitions between office spaces and reverberation time control within office spaces to achieve required offices standards.

In addition, CSP Acoustics provided guidance on control of plant noise; control of noise transmission via ventilation ducting and control of emergency generator noise.

Early Decisions Make a Difference

It is a fact that the impact of many acoustical issues can be reduced by making appropriate early stage design decisions – site layout, building planning, materials and structures choices can all affect the magnitude and therefore cost of dealing with noise, privacy and communication issues. To help designers become more aware of the impact of acoustics on design and development CSP Acoustics is happy to provide CPD Updates on Acoustics and Noise issues to design practices and client organisations. Lunchtime, or longer, CPD sessions can be arranged for delivery in-house to suit client and design organisations.
