The application of acoustic treatments in the planning, design and construction of industrial building projects is often mandated by regulatory requirements or motivated by sensitivity to those living near and working in industrial environments.

In 1979 USSI commissioned the first studies to evaluate the acoustic properties of our building roof and wall systems. Since then, USSI has been leading the way with laboratory and field tested, guaranteed acoustic treatments for our pipeline and power customers on their turbine, compressor and pumphouse buildings.

United Steel Structures provides a complete turnkey, manufactured acoustic solution using our guaranteed sound science to our clients in the oil and gas industry, power generation, and heavy industrial sectors around the world. As a result, we have developed a broad base of experience, knowledge, and practical sound science solutions to serve our customers, and can play an important role to the EPC. Some of our products and services include:

  • sound science library of more than 25 different proven acoustical solutions which have been both laboratory and field verified in accordance with ASTM E90-99, and vary in range from STC 29 to STC 68.

  • absorptive and non absorptive walls and roof systems utilizing a combination of inert, non combustible acoustic media.

  • mass layered walls and roofs consisting of light to heavy septum barriers for the attenuation of low frequency noise for both load bearing and non-load bearing systems.

  • tested and proven low frequency noise problem solving below 63 Hz. acoustic ventilation systems including low noise fans, silencers, acoustic louvers and dampers.

  • acoustic doors, acoustic blow out panels, acoustic barrier walls and acoustic windows.
