Key Challenges
High acoustic performance requirements up to 69dB was to be achieved within restricted widths to separate adjacent viewing theaters and fun rides. The project lacked accessibility for installation of specified systems and many curved walls needed high sound absorption on which ECOPHON® wall Panels AKUSTO®C were to be installed which.
