Problem
As Broadcom was building a new chiller yard for its facility in Irvine, CA it became aware of two problems. First, that the chiller yard would be very noisy and second, that it would become an eyesore for passers-by.
Solution
In order to both reduce noise and cover up the unsightly chiller yard, Fibergrate’s Soundscape Soundwalls were installed around the perimeter of the yard. This provided Broadcom with an aesthetically pleasing chiller yard facility while reducing the noise to a comfortable level.
