C180 NOISE & VIBRATION

A. NOISE LIMIT TARGETS

The enclosures for all equipment on the barge shall be suitable to limit the sound from the equipment per standard manufacturer limits. The noise level shall not exceed 80 dbA on the main deck of the barge, at a 30 ft. radius around the equipment, with the equipment operating at full power.

The noise survey during tests and trials, shall be based on the average of the broadband sound pressure levels taken at various representative locations in the reverberant field of the compartment or space in question. Values should be measured using the A-weighted scale with the meter set for slow response.

If the noise limits are exceeded and it is found that the excess is due to poor workmanship or quality control, the shipyard shall correct whatever deficiencies that are identified by the excessive noise.

B. VIBRATION LEVEL TARGETS

The vibration limit for the vessel shall be the SNAME Technical & Research Bulletin 2-25 SHIP VIBRATION AND NOISE GUIDELINES (1980) as presented in Principles of Naval Architecture, Volume II, (Figure 35, page 306, 1988 Edition). The vertical vibration velocity and acceleration shall not exceed the maximums of Zone II. This criterion is the upper limit of vibration level that is noticeable but usually shall not adversely affect vessel personnel.

The barge contractor shall measure these velocities on the deck of the barge at various locations during the testing phase of this contract and provide a written report, per contract Clause E05. If the vibration limits are exceeded and it is found that the excess is due to poor workmanship or quality control, the shipyard shall correct whatever deficiencies that are identified by the excessive vibration.

C. 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:

Install vibration isolators for all diesel generators and rotating machinery such as pumps in order 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.
