Acoustic Treatment Solution
of the Technical Room in Water Pumping
Station—Case Study

Abstract Among many other noise sources, living environment is often significantly
affected by industrial noise. It is very common in cities that many industrial plants
are located near residential areas providing citizens with basic living needs. Noise
generated by industrial machines within those facilities strongly affect the quality of
life in the close proximity. Goal of the research represents one of the possible solutions
of noise-level reduction in the environment affected by a water pump station No. 25,
located at Mokroluško brdo in Belgrade. Demands and limitations that have been
set during the project solution stage were the main factor for the appropriate noise
reduction method. Noise generated by centrifugal water pumps has been analyzed,
and acoustic treatment of the technical room is chosen as a solution. Results of
the research in the paper represents the possibility of successful application of the
surface absorbers available on the market, where price and delivery conditions act
as the main factors for the choice of acoustic materials.
