The Argenteuil hospital center was built in 1929 and then renovated in 2012 with the addition of a 2 000 m² structure for which F2A supplied part of the elements for the control of acoustic levels. The hospital welcomes nearly 32 000 people in full hospitalization per year; it counts 841 beds in total and over 2 400 professionals and consultants are working there. The issue of acoustic comfort is very important in a healthcare facility because the users can be especially sensitive to stress. Soundproofing must be performed so that it doesn’t bother the patients and so that doctors and nurses are able to detect emergency situations from the hallway.
Requirements
- Acoustic regarding patients’ comfort
- Hygiene relative to the cleanliness of equipments in the hospital and other clean rooms.
- Security standards concerning public rooms
F2A solution
A solution based on the use of 300mm-thick acoustic splitters was set up on both the air intake and air exhaust. In order to answer the hygiene constraints, splitters covered with a fiberglass fabric protection were set up in the “clean” areas of the hospital, preventing almost all particles from coming off of the splitter.
13
backdraught dampers, 121 SONIE BS+ splitters, 8 circular silencers SONIE C and 66 SONIE BL splitters for the Argenteuil hospital.
