IAC’S WINS NOISE CONTROL CONTRACT FOR O2 ARENA

IAC Building Services Dept. are supplying HVAC noise control equipment for the new O2 Arena, which is destined to become a major London music and sporting venue. The Arena is a 23000 seater concert and sport arena, which will hold 150 music concerts per year. The venue has been booked for the Gymnastics World Championships in 2009 and is ‘pencilled in’ for the Gymnastics events during the 2012 Olympics. Additionally events such as Basketball, Ice hockey, and Tennis shall be hosted at professional level.

The Arena is being constructed as a building-within-a-building inside the former Millennium Dome in Greenwich and presents a number of air movement and acoustic challenges.

Gary Dawson, Business Manager, Building Services said: “Over the years we’ve worked on many of the UK’s most well-known, and best loved sporting facilities. You really could say we have a great ‘track record’ in stadia acoustics”
