About
Noise control should be considered early in the design process of an industrial building to avoid costly solutions in the future if noise proves to be a problem after installation and start-up. Every month at United Steel Structures Incorporated, Director of Industrial Acoustics Dr. Tim Simmons and Estimator Zachary Jones will share why noise control is important, describe regulations that drive noise goals, explain acoustical terminology, and much more. If you have projects that require noise control or want to learn more about the technical side of Sound Science, then this podcast is for you. USSI has over 40 years of experience and has completed over 4,000 projects while working with major clients throughout the oil and gas industry, including Williams, XTO Energy, MarkWest, and many more. We want to hear from you so please send us your questions at podcast@ussi.com.
