Acoustic Containers

At Wakefield Acoustics, we specialise in manufacturing bespoke and semi-standard acoustically insulated containers for various industrial noise control needs.

Designed for mobility, durability, and superior acoustic performance, these containers are ideal for various industrial and commercial applications, ensuring your operations remain efficient and compliant with noise regulations.

Whether you need a CHP acoustic container or a gas/diesel generator acoustic container, our units are built with a structural baseplate, insulated external panels and roof, and integrated ventilation system.

Our lifting lugs are rigorously tested and certified to ensure safe lifting of the container complete with housed plant and equipment.

Bespoke Acoustic Containers

Our acoustic containers are fabricated with a variety of support steel arrangements that can be tailored to support equipment including exhaust silencers, SCR systems and external radiators. The outer walls and roof are designed to meet specific acoustic requirements for projects. Achieving noise levels as low as 60dBA is possible with enhanced acoustic treatment dependant upon the engine type.

Various ventilation options are available for industrial acoustic containers, including roof-mounted penthouses and separate inlet ventilation pods, all of which can be seamlessly incorporated into the design.

Generator Acoustic Containers

Maintenance facilities within a generator acoustic container can include fully tested and certified lifting beams, removable end walls or ventilation modules for major plant removal, along with double leaf access doors positioned to suit.

Wakefield Acoustics are also able to design and manufacture switchgear acoustic containers and UPS acoustic containers. Lighting, small power, and fire and gas detection equipment can be set up at our worksite as needed, helping to streamline operations and minimise delays.

Industrial Noise Control Solutions

Established in 1980, Wakefield Acoustics has grown over the years to become a highly regarded industrial acoustic engineering firm in the UK. With a focus on innovation, we collaborate with top global companies to tackle complex noise issues in various sectors, including demanding and risky environments.

  • What is an acoustic container?

    An acoustic container is a portable, soundproofed enclosure designed to house noisy equipment or activities, significantly reducing noise levels and protecting the contained equipment from external environmental conditions.

  • What are the primary uses of acoustic containers?

    Acoustic containers are commonly used in industries such as construction, manufacturing and remote industrial sites to control noise pollution and protect equipment.

  • What is the difference between acoustic containers and acoustic enclosures?

    Containers and enclosures are sometimes used interchangeably. However, an acoustic container is a complete housing with an integrated base used for industrial equipment like generators and switchgear. This will allow the items to be installed inside and allow the full ‘box’ to be lifted into position in one piece.

    Acoustic enclosures, on the other hand, are structures with a roof but no base. Enclosures can come in many forms, though essentially an enclosure fits around equipment onto a sub-structure e.g. a floor, baseplate for a machine, steelwork platform etc…

  • Are acoustic containers weatherproof?

    Yes, our acoustic containers are designed to be weatherproof, offering excellent protection against rain, wind, and other environmental conditions to ensure the safety and longevity of your equipment.
