Overview

Code violations from noisy rooftop equipment at Suburban Hospital demanded a professional, permanent fix. Any mitigation would require a complex analysis of the equipment in question and its effect on multiple residential buildings next door. Accordingly, building managers needed a partner with the instrumentation, design software, and expertise to ensure the hospital’s compliance with the Montgomery County noise ordinance.

About Us

““We hired Erco to install the prescribed sound panels. The end result is excellent. My people are very happy with the reduction of ambient sound. We have had a couple of groups use the dining hall before the Covid-19 hit and we definitely noticed an improvement. We look forward to opening Camp in the fall and having the dining hall full of people.”
“Thank you for the work you did that helped lower the ambient sound in the dining hall.”

“I have personally been working with Phoenix for almost a decade, and they have been an excellent consultant to work with. They respond in a timely manner, and the information they provide is comprehensive and clearly presented. The building analysis Phoenix provides is very clear and easy to interpret. They provide color-coded three-dimensional diagrams that describe the noise impact on a structure. These diagrams have proven to be very helpful for the design team, ownership and contractors. Phoenix also provides detailed reports that include acoustical details, partition types, wall assemblies as well as product recommendations that we then incorporate into our contract documents.

ln addition to the formal reports, they are also very responsive to impromptu questions that come up during design and construction. They have a good comprehension of all project phases, and are able to respond to questions accordingly.

ln summary, I would highly recommend using Phoenix as an acoustical consultant, and I am happy to answer any additional questions you may have.”
