Gatwick Airport Terminal & Interchange
The brief
- Design the public address and voice alarm system for the North Terminal Interchange
- Carry out an acoustic computer modelling study to verify that the proposed acoustic design will meet the acoustic design criteria specified in the performance constraints
- Parameter prediction including reverberation time, sound pressure level and speech transmission index
- Post commissioning electro-acoustic performance assessment of intelligibility and sound pressure level.
The acoustic design had to work with pre-determined loudspeaker positions and architectural constraints, as well as achieving compliance with the specified performance requirements.
The results
- Installed system met the performance requirements specified by the airport operator, Global Infrastructure Partners.
- Compliant PA-voice alarm system delivered within a tight time frame.
