IAC keeps Sussex Waste plant quiet

Sussex Waste in Lancing West Sussex will have a quieter recycling plant from July 2008 thanks to an IAC noise-attenuation solution.

A family company, Sussex Waste commissioned the design and build of the recycling plant. They were keen to find a more environmentally desirable outcome than landfill for the construction and demolition waste collected by their sister skip collection business. Aggregate and metal waste from the skips was already being recycled.

Mick Adams is Project Manager at Sussex Waste. “This waste solution is a highly effective process but due to strict noise limits here on the industrial estate we were required by the local planning department to achieve 65db(A) at the boundary to protect our neighbours from noise.”

“IAC is designing and manufacturing an acoustic intake & exhaust ventilation system to attenuate noise from the plant while allowing the specified volume of air into and out of the building. We are supplying solutions to a growing number of effective but noise-generating recycling plants around the country as the appetite grows for more environmentally desirable outcomes for waste” says Gary Dawson, Business Manager at IAC. The installation will take place in November.

Mick Adams again: “Several companies were recommended to us but IAC provided what was undoubtedly the best solution at the best price.”
