POLYPIPE Terrain’s Acoustic dB12 piping
system has been implemented in the new
Saxton residential development in Leeds,
UK. The dB12 pipes and fittings have been
used to create soil and waste systems that
provide a high degree of acoustic insulation
and prevent noise transmission within the
new Urban Splash development.
The development involves the complete
refurbishment of two tower blocks that
previously provided accommodation for
housing authority tenants. The prevention
of noise transmission between the new
apartments demanded an acoustically
insulated piping system that would provide
reliable and effective performance.
Terrain Acoustic dB12 was specified by
mechanical engineers RAD Mechanical
Services Ltd. “We have used Terrain’s PVC
above-ground soil and waste system on
a large number of developments in the
past and it has always provided excellent
performance,” commented
RAD’s Mark Radcliffe. “We
were naturally keen to see
if the Acoustic dB12 system,
which was launched recently,
could meet our specifications
and perform to the same
high standards, which it has.
Polypipe Terrain worked with
us to overcome some initial
technical issues, and once work
started we found the Acoustic dB12 system
to be both quick and easy to install.”
The pipes and fittings in the Terrain Acoustic
dB12 range allow the creation of soil and
waste piping systems in multi-occupancy
buildings such as hotels, apartments,
hospitals and schools, where minimal noise
transmission is a key requirement.
The three-layer construction allows the pipes
and fittings to provide acoustic performance
that surpasses the requirements of Building
Regulations Part E, and to also meet Class
B1 fire protection standards.
A wide variety of components, pipes and
fittings are available, providing flexibility in
system design and allowing an acoustically
insulated drainage system to be created for
virtually any application.
