Industry
Awareness about the harmful effects of noise in industry and in nearby homes is growing. Noise can be in addition to hearing damage also cause stress, irritability, difficulty sleeping, which can lead to high blood pressure. The authorities also places increasingly greater demands on industry to reduce noise.
ÅF Ingemansson has over 50 years of experience to create good sound environments both within the working environment in industrial surroundings. We have a unique database for noise and vibration data including measures and have also the most modern measuring instruments and calculation programs.
Here are some examples of what we can to help you with:
- Noise and vibration engineering design of new facilities.
- Noise and vibration measures incl. cost estimates.
- Long-term action.
- Impact assessment in connection with environmental permit application.
- Contact with authorities.
- All types of sound and vibration measurements.
- Full commitment of noise attenuation.

The Pulp and Paper Industry
The pulp and paper industry was a forerunner when beginning to take an interest in workplace noise control already in the middle of the 1960´s. ÅF was involved from the start and we are still the leading consultants in this industry - world-wide. The branch has gone through a tremendous development of rising production capacity. Larger units, faster and more efficient machinery and less personnel are the key words. Noise is still an important problem although there are many examples of extremely good noise control results due to systematic and detailed acoustical design work.

Energy
An efficient energy supply is one of the most significant cornerstones of a smoothly functioning society. In creating efficient and sustainable long-term energy solutions, a number of environmental factors influence how well a successful, competitive energy supplier will deliver to private customers as well as to society as a whole. ÅF-Ingemansson has more than 30 years’ experience working with noise and vibration from energy suppliers. As the leading European consultancy in the field of noise and vibration, we have unparalleled competence within this area. We serve as advisers to major manufacturers, energy suppliers and public authorities. Our clients turn to us for advice as experts in noise and vibration in matters concerning legislation, regulations and tighter noise restrictions as well as operating and expanding energy installations.

Industry
Today, ever-greater environmental demands are placed on industrial facilities. Initially, regulations were aimed at reducing pollution to air and water, but recently there has been growing demand for reduced noise levels. Machine operators and other employees need a good working environment to be productive. People living in the vicinity of these facilities do not wish to be disturbed. But most important, a silent-running operation is often smooth running, too.

Oil and Gas Installations
ÅF-Ingemansson has got extensive experience on noise and vibration control studies on offshore installations, both production platforms, FPSO’s and drilling rigs. Our services range from preparation of noise and vibration requirements during preengineering, to prediction and control studies executed during engineering phase for newbuilding and modification projects, and to offshore verification measurements and trouble-shooting.
