Noise on offshore installations training.

This course gives you a structured introduction to the generation, the propagation and the control of noise, with emphasis on the conditions prevailing on offshore installations. It includes hands-on exercises in our laboratory.

• understand the fundamental terminology, methods and parameters of noise topics

• gain knowledge about good practice of offshore noise control

• be able to understand and interpret legislation

• use creative thinking for practical solutions

• have an overview of how to manage noise on new build and existing installations

• Basic acoustics (sound pressure, sound power, the dB scale, noise exposure, calculation exercises)

• Hearing damage/hearing protection, vibration exposure

• Noise measurements (basic sound pressure measurements, signal analysis)

• In the lab (measurements, equipment, sound pressure exercise)

• Noise sources

• Sound radiation and propagation (airborne, structure borne, reduction, radiation, outdoor propagation)

• Noise management

• Legislation and standards

Topics will be illustrated with numerous case studies including engine room noise control, gas compressor noise control, accommodation sound insulation, valve and pipe noise reduction and others.
