Location Portland, Oregon

Size 40 Locations

Completed 2018

Description Beginning with measurements taken in 2015, ABD Engineering & Design worked with TriMet to conduct sound measurements of warning bells at MAX Light Rail pedestrian crossings. When it was discovered that the bells were not at a consistent sound levels, and usually so loud that the neighbors were disturbed, ABD developed recommendations for adjusted sound levels from the bells. The warning bells needed to be loud enough for public safety but as quiet as possible for neighbors, and needed to be consisted throughout the system.

Measurements and modifications were made at representative locations throughout the light rail system. ABD helped TriMet establish a specific noise criteria specification through extensive lab and field testing. The new levels are now consistent across different street and intersection types, providing louder and softer bell depending on the relative activity at the intersections.

6 Industrial Projects Project Name Ridgeview Industries

Location Grand Rapids, Michigan

Size 304,920 SF

Completed 2014

Description ABD Engineering & Design worked with A.M.D.G. Architects, Inc., to design comprehensive architectural acoustics in the Ridgeview Industries Corporate Headquarters. The office, common areas, and manufacturing facility were designed to flow together as much as possible. The plans included a gymnasium, cafeteria, commons area, and exercise room, as well as a waiting room and meeting room. The facility houses everything from loud sports activities to sensitive office conversations, all under the same roof. To make the challenge greater, the new space would be added onto an existing manufacturing facility, sharing a load-bearing wall.

ABD worked to develop an intricate plan for addressing the multiple acoustical issues. We made recommendations for construction features that would lower the time in the larger spaces, like the gym, and café’, while raising the sound isolation in the smaller spaces, like the waiting room and meeting room. Our design provided Ridgeview Industries with the proper amount of acoustical treatment to meet their needs for years to come. Photos courtesy of A.M.D.G. Architects.

7 Industrial Projects

Project Name DuPont Fabros Technology

Location Elk Grove Village, Illinois

Size 485,000 SF
