Noise Controlled Effectively at one of London's Most Recognisable Buildings

Case Study Overview

As the tallest building in the United Kingdom until 2012, One Canada Square is one of London’s most recognisable properties. The building is headquarters of many multi-national businesses, and also houses retail space and restaurants. Designed by Pelli Clarke Pelli, the towering skyscraper set the benchmark for innovative high-rise design technology with 32 high-speed passenger lifts serving the 1.2 million squarefoot building.

Challenge

An unforeseen issue meant that a considerable amount of high pitch noise was expected to be produced. Therefore, last-minute measures needed to be immediately secured to keep the works on schedule.

Solution

RVT provided prompt assistance and identified that the Soundex Acoustic Curtain system would quickly solve the contractor’s problem.
