WHOLE BUILDING DESIGN – “From the ground up,” design services on hush houses, test cells, test stands, and other noise suppressors. This includes facilities for installed or uninstalled engine testing, completely or partially enclosed testing, or outdoor testing facilities, such as ground run-up enclosures and power check pads.
DESIGN CONSULTING – Technical and subject matter expert consulting for hush houses, test cells, and noise suppressors. This includes construction of new facilities and remodel, renovation or refurbishment of existing facilities. It also includes, incorporating new design concepts, materials, or methodology to improve facility efficiency and/or cost effectiveness.
SCOPE DOCUMENTATION – Preparation of a project and scope documents. This includes documents such as contract or shop drawings, project specifications, statement of objectives, statement of work, repair or corrective action plans, or other project scope documents.
ENGINEERING STUDIES –Studies for overall facility design, or systems design. This includes finite element analysis (FEA), computational fluid dynamics (CFD), thermal transfer, computational aeroacoustics (CAA), and other technical studies.
PERFORMANCE TESTING – Sound testing of engine test facilities. This includes overall acoustical performance for near-field and far-field performance, thermal flow, and cell depression analysis. This also includes performance evaluations of various equipment and systems within test facilities.
INSPECTIONS –Inspection services on hush houses, test cells, and noise suppressors. This includes overall assessment to determine current state of readiness of the facility or the readiness of any system used in these facilities. It also includes failure inspections of damaged or non-functioning equipment or systems to determine root cause for establishment of corrective action or repair plans.
COST & LIFE CYCLE ASESSMENT – Cost of ownership evaluations. This includes detailed assessment of cost vs. performance benefit, initial cost vs. cost of ownership over lifetime, and complete cradle-to-grave life cycle assessment.
