Particular attention is given by our staff to the overall dimensions and weight. Space management in shipbuilding is a relevant aspect in terms of comfort and functional use, thus we, as Cergol Engineering, do our best to detect the right compromise between the acoustic solution and the thermic one, by combining the insulation material quantity that should be used with the type of material requested, sometimes choosing more performant supplies.
Taking account of the weight calculation allows us to deliver the bill of material to the yard and to help the naval designer in the stability calculation execution. The yard is thereby facilitated in the necessary orders by suppliers, and naval architects can assess the impact of noise insulation against the ship’s total displacement.
Our company provides an added value to the costumers, by verifying the adequacy of insulation materials through a numerical calculation.
In order to offer this additional evaluation, it is necessary to develop an acoustic model, in which the schematization of the ship structure, the proposed insulations and the acoustic cavities of different areas (cabins, salon, etc) is included. Later, the principal noise sources are applied to the model in line with the information registered in our database and it is verified if the proposed quantity and layout of the insulations can satisfy the required contractual limits. In the areas where a certain margin is present, an optimization of the type and the quantity of the insulation materials is studied.
