BEKON Noise Protection & Acoustics - Soundproofing, Acoustics, Vibration Technology, Building Physics and Emission Control

BEKON Noise Protection & Acoustics has been operating since 1995 as an independent consulting and planning company in the fields of soundproofing, acoustics, vibration technology, building physics and emission control.

Through many years of consulting and planning for calculations of noise emissions, working out measures to combat noise from power plant emission and putting these measures into practice, BEKON’s know-how can benefit its customers and ensure that the ever-more demanding noise protection requirements are met.

BEKON offers professional help for the solution of responsibilities in the field of acoustics, vibration technology and building physics at a fair price. As an independent consultant, BEKON can provide optimized cost solutions for the reduction of acoustics and vibration.

Acoustic and vibration technology for energy systems

BEKON’s experience in acoustic and vibration technology planning for energy systems in Europe, America, Asia and Africa enables the company to complete its assignments within a short period of time.

Noise emission calculations, measurements and consultancy on planned power installations

BEKON can calculate planned noise emissions for a wide range of energy supply plants, including motor, gas turbine and bio-mass installations. Noise emissions that can be expected on the outskirts of the operating plant are calculated by means of sophisticated software and a graphic overview is presented.

If noise emissions are expected to be too high, BEKON can work out a variety of options for the reduction of noise, which ensures that permissible values are observed. In addition, BEKON also calculates the future noise emissions within the plant. This applies to the engine room for annexed buildings, control consoles, employee facilities and other rooms.

Noise emission calculations for power plant permits and regulations

BEKON carries out noise emission measurements, calculations and proposals on behalf of customers to ensure power plant permits are in accordance with national regulations and specifications of the World Bank.

Engine acoustics for power plants

BEKON carries out noise analysis and concept design for sound reduction measures in engine noise reduction. This includes sound intensity probes, one-third-octave-analysis, FFT-analysis and vibration measurement with modal analysis.

Exhaust duct sound measurements

BEKON is able to carry out exhaust duct measurements at temperatures up to 500°C and sound pressure levels up to 180dB. BEKON determines longitudinal damping, sound insulation, the adjustment of pipe flow characteristics in exhaust ducts and converging pipes, and works out special solutions in the case of extremely high sound-reduction requirements.

Sound pressure levels for installed equipment

BEKON can measure the sound pressure levels of installed equipment for verification of manufacturer-defined values. If these specified values are not maintained, BEKON can work out sound reduction measures accordingly (as well as for low frequency noise) with detailed drawings and lists of relevant sound parameters.

Noise protection at existing and planned workplaces

BEKON offers the measurement of noise pollution at existing workplaces and calculations for future workplaces where construction work is planned.

Categorization of noise exposure zones

BEKON can devise and supervise noise exposure action plans, according to European regulations. As well as professional guidance, the company provides information about suppliers and manufacturers of noise protection components.

Vibration measurements and forecasts for planning installations

BEKON can calculate the vibration insulation required for power plants. For existing buildings, the transmission function and the structure-borne noise can be worked out in advance.

BEKON provides a cost-effective consultancy service by calculating the necessary insulation and the additional mass required.
