Problem:
The noise assessment report revealed that the noise generated by the jaw crusher exceeded the permissible limits set by the council. The excessive noise posed not only a compliance issue but also a potential risk to the well-being of employees working in the vicinity of the crusher. Therefore, finding an effective solution to reduce noise levels was essential.
Solution:
After careful evaluation, Hirock decided to install the Hushtec Premium Noise Control Barriers. The Hushtec Barriers are known for their superior noise absorption properties and ability to reduce noise pollution effectively. Twelve panels of the Hushtec Barriers were strategically fitted around the jaw crusher to create an enclosure that would contain and absorb the noise generated during its operation.
Outcomes:
Following the installation of the Hushtec Noise Control Barriers, an independent noise assessment was conducted to measure the impact of the solution. The assessment report indicated a significant reduction in noise levels, with reductions ranging from 7 to 15 decibels (dB). These noise reductions brought Hirock’s operations within the permissible limits set by the council.
Conclusion:
The installation of the Hushtec Noise Control Barriers around the jaw crusher proved to be a highly effective solution for noise reduction. Hirock achieved substantial noise reductions, as verified by the independent noise assessment report. By meeting the council requirements and enhancing employee well-being, the implementation of the Hushtec Barriers proved to be a valuable investment for Hirock Ltd.
