One of our most unusual marine applications must be the sound proofing of an iconic amphibious marine vehicle the DUKW or ‘duck’, now used by the London Duck Tour company.
The duck, a half boat half truck, was originally deployed by the allies during WWII and played a crucial part in the Normandy beaches landings of D-Day. In latter years the vehicle saw active service military service until 1966 and the Royal Marines used them as training vehicles until 2012.
As 31.40m MY Romantica was being made ready for delivery to her owner, the boat builders realised there was a serious acoustic issue with sound travelling around the entire vessel through vibration and a regeneration of power through the hull.
Sound levels on board RV Discovery multi purpose research vessel were so excessively high when underway, not only for crew but critically for the operatives carrying out surveying sweeps with highly delicate equipment, that its owners and operators contacted Acoustiblok UK.
Acoustiblok has successfully assisted many bars, night-clubs and soundproofing live music venues facing noise nuisance complaints, noise abatement notices and related health and safety issues, one of them being The Ferry, an icon of Glasgow’s cultural and night life scene.
