Sound Absorbing Walls for Air Conditioning from Modular Walls

Supermarket Roof Top Air Conditioning Sound Absorbing Wall Solution

The demolition and part closure of a shopping centre prompted Woolworths supermarket in Belrose to relocate their roof top air conditioning units to stay operational. The new location of the air conditioning units was in close proximity of built-up units escalating complaints from its residents. The solution of a sound absorbing noise attenuation barrier had to be aesthetically pleasing for the supermarket located in the busy Stockland Shopping Centre encircled by suburban housing and infrastructure.

One of the focal challenges was that there was no real place for Modular Wall Systems™ to mount the vertical wall member too. Our engineering team went to work and an ingenious solution was designed so that the wall could be fixed to a track that aligned to roofing girt underneath the metal roof skin. The panels then stood vertically in the track and using tie rods tensioned down to the base track.

Diagonal cables were then mounted to the top lineal and fixed off to an appropriate anchor point on the roof with custom made brackets. The premium performing yet light weight AcoustiSorb 75 panels that are manufactured Modular Wall Systems™ were easily situated and installed on the roof top premise.
