EnergyLink International is proud to share that we have completed the design, fabrication and delivery of an acoustically treated gas turbine exhaust stack. Our work was done on behalf of our client in support of their work housing additional energy generation units for a power station expansion in Saskatchewan. EnergyLink was tasked with designing, fabricating and delivering over 40dBA in noise reduction in near field emissions during active power generation.

Throughout our scope of work, EnergyLink’s team of leading professionals paved the way for the successful delivery of this project. EnergyLink specially manufactured and tested all steel components in-house at a Mexican facility under the supervision of Joe Rabcaniak, CMQ/OE– Manager, Quality Assurance/Control and Jose Gonzales – Senior Manager, Quality & Manufacturing. Lisa Newman, PMP, Project Manager, navigated the complex logistics of transporting the exhaust stack across both United States land borders, ensuring all components arrived safely on-site for final assembly and installation.

Working with clients from design to delivery is another example of how EnergyLink is connecting you to a better way.

EnergyLink International is a proud supplier of full-service engineered solutions addressing industrial performance and acoustic concerns. We conducted work on behalf of our client concerning operations of an on-campus plant at the University of Minnesota, supplying electricity for medical services, research centers, and the campus. This facility, housed in historic buildings with a legacy of supplying power for the city’s street railway system, have continued to adapt in operations and usage as the city has grown.

EnergyLink is excited to share our involvement in providing acoustic upgrades at one of these historic plants. Due to its urban location, limiting noise pollution was crucial to our client because of the proximity to commercial and residential buildings. Growing residential density downtown led to residents filing complaints about audible noise during the plant’s operational periods.

Chosen for our proven track record, we conducted a study to identify the noise source and recommend solutions. Our team, led by Lisa Newman, PMP, Project Manager, pinpointed the issue to a frequency generated by fans in the plant’s circulating fluidized bed boiler. We proposed mitigating this noise pollution by installing custom-fabricated baffles, designed by Chris Giesbrecht, into the existing exhaust stacks. EnergyLink fabricated, delivered, and installed three baffles to address these concerns. As part of our site-wide noise guarantee, a follow-up study conducted by Gustavo Elgueta ensured all acoustic goals were met with an overall 15 dB reduction in noise for the problematic frequency, resulting in the noise being inaudible in the nearby residential dwellings.

Delivering solutions that keep the heart of essential services beating quietly is another example of how EnergyLink is connecting you to a better way.

EnergyLink International is excited to announce that we are nearing substantial completion of an acoustic barrier and enclosure project for our client in Omaha, Nebraska. This project complements the recently completed acoustic building at a nearby site, where EnergyLink guarantees compliance with stringent low frequency (dBC) noise limits. The barrier and enclosure will contain noise from a large-frame gas turbine used as backup power for the abundant renewable energy resources in the area.

Mike Waugh – Senior Manager, Construction, and Wild Guevara P.Eng – Project Manager, have ensured the safe and timely completion of this high-quality work. EnergyLink International’s site-wide acoustic guarantee is made possible through the expertise of Chris Giesbrecht – Senior Manager, Engineering, who designed the acoustic exhaust and boundary barrier walls, and Gustavo Elgueta – Noise Emissions SME, who will ensure that they perform as designed.

The completion of this project is yet another testament to EnergyLink’s unwavering commitment to excellence, and how we are constantly connecting you to a better way.

 

Last year, we celebrated significant strides on a custom designed acoustic building project in Omaha, Nebraska. EnergyLink International is proud to share that we are approaching substantial completion on our scope of work supporting our client.

Mike Waugh – Senior Manager, Construction and Colin Martin – Project Manager, have led our team throughout the scope of work, ensuring the delivery of the highest quality of work from start to finish.
