CSA was involved with the Corrib Gas development from site selection in 2000 through an extended planning and consenting process, construction of landfall and gas reception terminal facilities, including tunnelling under the protected habitat of the Sruwaddacon Bay. The plant commenced operations at the end of 2015 and we continue to provide monitoring services to the site. We have thoroughly enjoyed the challenge of this project, both in terms of the extreme noise and vibration assessment and control requirements, but also the consultation, diplomacy and engagement activities which formed a key aspect of our involvement. We also appreciated the opportunity to spend time in this extremely hospitable and beautiful part of the world.

CSA carried commissioned a Hemi Anechoic chamber at Honda, Swindon and a Honda Racing Development F1 engine test cell, both for IAC Acoustics who have been at the forefront of providing acoustic testing facilities to the automotive market. With over 60 years of experience, IAC Acoustics has lead the way through innovation and were the first company to introduce a metal-clad anechoic wedge for use in NVH testing facilities.

CSA has provided acoustic design and noise control input on numerous Hilton projects, working variously for the property developer, the design and build contractor and the operator, Hilton, themselves. The focus is always the same, however, in helping to deliver the consistent project quality required by the Hilton brand effectively and efficiently. Our engagement in the design process as early as possible is always key to achieving this goal.

CSA commissioned the refurbished IAC Acoustics semi anechoic test chamber at Volvo Penta in Gothenburg, who develop and manufacture marine engines. We were intrigued to discover another Volvo Penta noise test facility in their own private fjord!

CSA undertook ongoing compliance monitoring of noise levels from ground running enclosures at West and East Maintenance Bases at Heathrow Airport for British Airways and were part of the design team for these amazing structures.
