AIL Sound Walls generator enclosure tailor-made for Costco call center

February 25, 2019

The lightweight versatility of AIL Sound Walls certainly helped this generator enclosure take shape in Ottawa, Ontario — one more example of how well our system provides cost-effective and aesthetically pleasing solutions for smaller commercial applications.

We reviewed the recommended slab design with the project team and proposed a slight increase in size to make our Silent Protector (Absorptive) system work best with it. The owners required constant easy access to the generator so double doors were incorporated to give people and equipment access to work on the generator.

Absorptive sound walls mitigate noise
Whether on ground level or on rooftops, noise from generators and transformers is easily mitigated by custom enclosures made from AIL Sound Walls’ absorptive Silent Protector System. Its versatility and light weight make it ideal for enclosures of all shapes and sizes.

Perforated PVC panels contain acoustical mineral wool
Our Silent Protector absorptive sound barrier wall system is engineered for maximum noise reduction. Made from recycled and recyclable PVC perforated panels and filled with acoustical mineral wool, Silent Protector is one of the industry’s top-performing sound walls, with a Sound Transmission Class (STC) rating of up to 39 and a Noise Reduction Coefficient (NRC) of .95.

This project was kept on time by understanding the client’s expectations and managing the lead time to deliver the product. On follow-up, they were pleased with the speed and ease of installation.

  • Silent Protector equipment enclosure quiets Owen Sound, ON data center

    In Owen Sound, Ontario, a new data center for Rogers (Owen Sound Cable) was constructed very close to a residential area and adjacent to a church. Unwanted noise from the center’s external HVAC and back-up generator systems needed to be mitigated with an aesthetically pleasing solution.

  • Silent Protector noise wall installed at Idaho water facility’s new booster station

    The AIL Sound Walls team was back in Boise recently to design and supply a second generator enclosure for Suez Water (formerly United Water). Suez was very happy with a smaller generator barrier we provided last year so they were quick to specify us on this larger one for their Quail Ridge Booster Station project.

  • Swift enclosure keeps big data center from making big noise

    Swift Transportation, one of the largest freight carriers in the US, expanded their data center at their headquarters in Phoenix, AZ. However, the equipment required to run their data center is adjacent to their offices and generates a lot of unwanted noise. An aesthetically pleasing sound barrier was needed to keep their workplace quiet.

  • Silent Protector noise wall silences BC hospital's new generator noise

    Unwanted noise from running generators is annoying, especially when next to a hospital. When Fraser Health needed to protect the silence around the new generator at their Burnaby, BC, facility, our Silent Protector (Absorptive) sound barrier system was prescribed.
