The project makes the acoustic specialists the first company to manufacture flat-packed, fully transportable large acoustic enclosures designed to be broken down and reassembled at different locations.
Hodgson & Hodgson's brief was to design and manufacture 15 transportable acoustic enclosures for use in power generation applications in some of the most remote and challenging environments in the world. The enclosures, which are installed and operated in sets of three, house the power-generating diesel engines plus skid units and other associated machinery and equipment. The innovative design will enable the units to be stripped down when their use at one location is at an end, after which they may be relocated to another part of the world.

"This was an intriguing and challenging project to work on," said Tom Doyle, Project Manager at Hodgson & Hodgson. "The design of the acoustic enclosures is very novel and we believe we are the first company to produce such a large unit capable of being broken down, flat-packed and shipped in 40-foot freight containers. A significant factor in the design is the totally interchangeable exterior panels, which make break-down and reassembly very straightforward."
