OVERVIEW
Project Overview
Buildtec Acoustics partnered with Sacyr Somague to provide a critical acoustic solution for the new 66,000-square-meter University of Ulster campus in Belfast. Our focus was on the Nanotechnology and Integrated Bio-Engineering Centre (NIBEC) laboratories, which house highly sensitive equipment and apparatus susceptible to vibration.
Challenge
The NIBEC laboratories required a stringent vibration control solution to ensure optimal functionality of the delicate equipment. Traditional structural solutions posed challenges, potentially impacting headroom heights, building usability, and incurring significant costs.
Solution
Buildtec Acoustics identified Highmat 50, a high-performance acoustic flooring system, as the ideal solution. A total of 2,000 square meters of Highmat 50 was installed beneath a 200mm screed throughout the laboratories.
