IAC CONTROLS
NOISE AT HEATHROW TERMINAL 5 - 10 June
 IAC
has secured a large HVAC attenuation contract from the British Airports
Authority, for London Heathrow’s Terminal 5. From a starting value
of £1/4m, as the construction project progresses, the design and
scope of works are also increasing.
Europe's biggest construction
project, the Terminal is already well underway and will open in 2008.
The terminal building has been dubbed an engineering masterpiece worthy
of history’s greatest, and will be the largest single span building
in the UK: with a roof 39 metres high and a total floor space equivalent
to 50 football pitches! That means a lot of air conditioning plant!
Thanks to IAC’s
Gary Dawson, Mike Jackson and team, BAA and airline staff and the millions
of travelling passengers passing through the terminal every year, will
benefit from comfortable noise levels.
Gary Dawson, Business
Manager Building Services, said: “We’re supplying a range
of noise attenuation solutions for the new terminal: acoustic panels and
louvres around the plant rooms, and HVAC attenuators reducing noise from
air conditioning systems throughout the main concourses. A number of the
HVAC plant rooms are 30m below ground level in the basement while the
‘Concourse Chimneys’ positioned throughout the large interior
spaces, bring conditioned air to the main public areas. When it’s
finished the building is going to be an engineering triumph and it’s
great to be a part of that.”
Several factors were
instrumental in IAC securing the contract, primarily technical expertise
and previous supply history with the airport contractors working on Terminal
5.
Once operational Terminal
5 will bring Heathrow’s total flights to 480,000 flights a year,
and up to 90 million passengers will be benefiting from IAC's noise control
technology. For further information call Gary Dawson, Business Manager
