| Noise Control for Steel Mills and Aluminum Smelters |
Hessler Associates provides acoustical analysis, design and noise control services for new or existing
steel mills, aluminum smelters and other metal industry facilities. Noise from proposed future installations
can be analytically modeled to evaluate any potential environmental impacts from the plant and to
determine what noise mitigation measures might have to be incorporated into the facility.

In addition, the firm specializes in the analysis and diagnosis of noise problems in operating quarries
and landfills - and in the development of practical and cost-effective noise abatement measures.

Typical noise sources include:
» Sinter Plants
» Raw Materials Transport
» Conveyors
» Coke Ovens
» Blast Furnaces
» Rolling Mills
» Tube Mills
» Aluminum Pots
» Fans and Blowers
» Pumps and Motors
|
|
Other services include complete acoustical mapping of operating facilities to document current in-plant
noise levels. Noise mapping identifies high noise areas where ear protection or limited exposure times
may be required by OSHA (for domestic sites) or the pertinent regulatory body for overseas facilities.
In addition, the comprehensive site survey involved in mapping highlights areas where noise mitigation
would produce the greatest benefit.
