MGC Advanced Polymers, 2009:
Background:
The client had previously purchased un-enclosed blower packages and wanted to attenuate the sound emitting from those units that were already on-site. There were two units on-site and UBP had already provided the client with an enclosure for the smaller unit. After UBP provided the smaller unit, MGC requested that we enclose the larger package as well.
Challenges:
The challenge to installing the largest enclosure was that the previously installed blower package was located in a room on the 4th floor of the building and the only access to the space was through a freight elevator with limited space. The service elevator was 45″ wide, 64″ deep & 82″ high. For a smaller enclosure, this would not pose a problem. However, the blower package to be enclosed was much larger, being 94.5″ wide, 68″ deep & 102″ high. The enclosure was sized as such to allow for proper ventilation of the unit.
Solution:
The accommodate the spatial requirements for accessing the unit, UBP designed an enclosure that consisted for multiple pieces, small enough to fit inside the freight elevator. Because of the spatial constraints, not one side of the enclosure could be provided as a whole piece. As such, the unit was designed to be put together by the client in the field.
Result:
After design, the enclosure was build and preassembled in UBP’s warehouse to ensure that the pieces fit together. The unit was shipped assembled to give the client a better understanding of how the enclosure was to be installed. The enclosure was successfully installed by the client in August of 2009.
