Mock up and Laboratory testing

At ASA ThermAcoustic, we understand the critical importance of precision and effectiveness in noise control solutions. To ensure optimal results for our clients, we employ a comprehensive approach that includes mock-up and laboratory testing before project implementation.

The Mock-Up Testing Process

Our mock-up testing process involves creating a scaled-down version of the proposed noise control solution in a controlled environment. This allows us to:

  • Simulate real-world conditions
  • Evaluate the effectiveness of different materials and designs
  • Fine-tune acoustic performance

Laboratory Testing

In addition to mock-ups, we conduct rigorous laboratory tests to analyze:

  • Sound transmission loss
  • Absorption coefficients
  • Reverberation times
  • Noise reduction coefficients (NRC)

These tests provide quantitative data that informs our design decisions and validates the expected performance of our solutions.

Advantages of Pre-Project Testing

Implementing mock-up and laboratory testing before starting a project offers several key benefits:

  1. Risk Mitigation: By identifying potential issues early, we can address them proactively, reducing the risk of costly modifications during installation.
  2. Optimized Performance: Pre-project testing allows us to fine-tune our solutions, ensuring they meet or exceed the specific acoustic requirements of each unique environment.
  3. Cost-Effectiveness: While initial testing may seem like an added expense, it often results in significant cost savings by preventing overengineering and minimizing on-site adjustments.
  4. Client Confidence: Demonstrable results from mock-ups and lab tests provide clients with tangible evidence of the solution’s effectiveness before full-scale implementation.
  5. Customization: The testing phase allows us to tailor our noise control solutions to the exact needs of each project, accounting for specific architectural features and acoustic challenges.

By leveraging mock-up and laboratory testing, ASA ThermAcoustic delivers noise control solutions that are not just theoretically sound, but practically proven. This approach ensures that when we begin work on your project, we’re implementing a solution that has already demonstrated its effectiveness, providing you with peace of mind and superior results.
