IAC equips Spain’s leading acoustic test house, IDIADA
 Spain’s top automotive testing house, IDIADA, has chosen IAC to supply a state-of-the-art anechoic chamber. IAC came out on top following a competitive pitch against Europe’s other anechoic chamber suppliers.
The equivalent of MIRA here in the UK, the prestigious and leading IDIADA test house provides acoustic testing services to a range of client groups across the private sector and government departments. Their NVH services include acoustic and ventilation testing, package and technical and co-ordination.
IAC’s turnkey experience will be invaluable in guiding the whole design although IDIADA’s local contractors will be handling the civils side of the project. The shell of the chamber will be constructed using conventional build methods. Then IAC acoustic doors and AHUs will be installed and the whole chamber will be lined with IAC’s ‘Metadyne’ wedges. Metadyne low frequency metal-faced wedges are patented technology and provide the best measuring performance available in the world today. They are in use in the R&D and manufacturing plants of many of the world’s leading automotive manufacturers including Ford, Volvo, Rover and Jaguar.
Gustavo Sanchez of IAC Boët Stopson Spain headed the lengthy negotiations with IDIADA that started over 18 months ago. “This is a much coveted project and as Europe’s largest acoustical engineering firm we are delighted to have secured the business in the face of stiff competition! IAC scored highly on its engineering capability, in particular integrating the acoustic requirements with the other engineering disciplines, and supporting the customer project team as a specialist engineering partner. Our patented wedge technology and great track record continue to convince Europe’s great and good to trust us with their requirements. IDIADA’s investment will deliver the best facility in Spain - we never disappoint.”
