Post lockdown and in the challenging times of a pandemic, Anutone along with its channel partners, Acoutec, was able to successfully complete a landmark project for the North East – Executive Officers’ Club, Assam Petro-chemicals Ltd (APL), Namrup near Dibrugarh and Tinsukia in Assam.
Needs Assessment
Needs assessment for the project by the design team at Anutone included
- Space usage – multipurpose activities like
- cultural activities of music dance and drama
- formal speeches at community events
- indoor sports
- club socials
- Roof – A trussless roof with only purlins and load considerations for a lightweight acoustical ceiling support. Metal roof with inadequate underdeck of softfibre insulation only.
- Weather – Temperature 10~30oC. Monthly rainfall 30~530mm totaling almost 3000mm annually. High humidity RH95.
Products used
Keeping in mind the special requirements, post the needs assessment, following was the product-based specific but total solution from Anutone, executed flawlessly by channel partners, Acoutec.
- Ceiling – Pixel 0308 with suspension at 400mm instead of the usual 600mm for high RH considerations with an overlay of SynthPF for thermo-acoustical insulation
- Paneling – Stretch Hush in a two-colour combination that embodies the colours of Kamakhya, the divine entity of the region
- Columns – cleverly camouflaged with Soak Plane that ensures not only acoustics but abuse-resistance to audience touch being fabric-faced rigid core acoustical panels
