SUPREME WINNER/

GREEN

Duncan's Canvas Ltd.
Hamilton, New Zealand

PROJECT: Noise Pollution Solution
FABRICS: Batyline, Quietspace Cube; from W Wiggins Ltd
The pool owners had both major health and safety issues due to noise, and two original noisedeadening systems in the complex had failed; noise-deadening ceiling tiles installed a few years
earlier had been falling from the ceiling, risking hitting swimmers. Duncan's Canvas installed a
temporary solution (bird netting) to catch the falling tiles, then removed them. To enhance the
noise-baffling work already done on the complex ceiling, the company suggested making
a "feature wall" of a giant silver fern made from the noise-reducing material.
Staff had to work 12 meters above the huge swimming pools, often at night. Duncan's subcontracted to Fletcher Construction, the firm overseeing a total upgrade of the complex. Fletcher
Construction reported to Opus International, the project managers. Complex issues had to be
worked out to the finest detail-even to which grade of stainless steel rivets should be used.
The combination of the ceiling and wall projects saw noise levels fall to well within
acceptable levels. The giant silver fern provides a patriotic backdrop to national swimming
events, and has become a talking point; even the mayor has commended Duncan's on the
new look. The 3D effect of the waterjet pattern cut into acoustic panels has cut noise pollution
and continues to create a distinctive environment for the pool complex.
