Innovative acoustic solutions: Stopson Italiana’s noise barriers for an heating plant in Milan

Stopson Italiana has successfully completed the design and installation of two noise barriers for a district heating plant in Milan. This project aimed to minimize the acoustic impact of the plant on its urban surroundings, setting a benchmark in noise mitigation for industrial environments.

The project: enhancing acoustic comfort

The plant, characterized by sections for cogeneration, boiler heating, thermal exchange, and summer cooling energy production, required targeted acoustic solutions to address the noise generated by ventilation and air-conditioning units.

Stopson Italiana installed two distinct types of noise barriers:

Open acoustic barrier

Positioned at a height of 6 meters and secured to the building’s exterior wall with brackets and uprights, this 3.5-meter-tall barrier is designed to absorb and isolate sound from ventilation groups. Its structure combines acoustic steel panels, offering high performance in noise reduction.

Closed acoustic barrier

Installed on the building’s roof, this 2.5-meter-tall barrier is complemented by acoustic louvers to ensure airflow while reducing noise from air-conditioning units. This enclosed design effectively prevents noise propagation in open environments.

The barriers achieved noise reductions exceeding the client’s expectations, with performance metrics including:

  • 7 dB attenuation for the open barrier.
  • 5 dB attenuation for the closed barrier.
