Internal transport enclosures by Topec

Acoustic enclosures

The enclosures, with dimensions of 17x4x4.5 meters and 14.5×3.5×3.9 meters, are intended for generator sets that were built by Topec as an emergency power supply for a land-based installation of BP on the Offshore Raven Field. Located near the Nile Delta and the city of Alexandria (Egypt).

The enclosures have a noise guarantee of 85 dB (A) at 1 meter distance from the acoustic container and ventilation openings. Design is according to the American design standard AISC 360-10, taking into account seismic forces and transport movements. The welds are according to the American welding standard AWSD1.1.

The 17-meter-long enclosure was transported to Topec by water, the 14.5-meter-long enclosure was transported by road.

For the cooling of the gensets, the enclosures are equipped with ventilation sets with AL-R / 300V acoustic louvres. One of the containers is equipped with acoustic louvres with an adjusted air gap, which enabled us to achieve a large saving of space in the container.
