Values should be measured using the A-weighted scale with the meter set for slow response.

If excessive noise or vibrations are found to be caused by poor workmanship or quality control, the shipyard shall correct whatever deficiencies that are identified by the excessive noise or vibration.

B. NOISE & VIBRATION CONTROL - GENERAL

In addition to insulation requirements, generator mounting details provided in this specification and shown on the contract drawings, the barge contractor shall implement the following control measures to ensure the target criteria are satisfied:

Effective noise barrier around high noise spaces to prevent noise transmission to adjacent spaces, and sound absorbing material around high noise spaces.

Install vibration isolators for all diesel generators and rotating machinery such as pumps and winches to reduce noise and vibration transmission through the structure.

Provide flexible mounting of service lines.

Ensuring that all pipe joints are tight and that all penetrations through spaces are sealed.

All pipe connections to the generators should be of the flexible type.

Use of low noise components, e.g. tighter tolerances.

Ensure the natural frequencies of the foundations of hard mounted equipment to be at least 30 percent greater than the disturbing frequencies of the equipment.

Ensure that the local stiffness of the foundation supporting the resilient mounts to be at least 10 times the stiffness of the isolator it supports to result in adequate vibration isolation.

Ensure that the natural frequencies of the resilient mount systems be sufficiently far from the disturbing frequencies (at least 30 percent of the nearest mode). If this condition cannot be satisfied, the vibrational force transmission to the foundation should be studied in greater detail and corrective measures taken to meet an acceptable isolation performance.

C185 TESTS & TRIALS

The barge and its component parts shall undergo testing and trials in accordance with Section E of the contract.
