Balmain Shores Residential Development

PKA provided complete acoustic design advice to Australand for stages 3, 4 and 5 of the Balmain Shores residential complex. Australand’s own in-house acoustic demands exceeded the minimum statutory requirements, and special acoustic design systems were developed to meet the demanding requirements of this quality development. In particular, dividing walls and floors were specified to meet acoustic performance well in excess of the minimum required by the Building Code of Australia.

Regular inspections and testing during construction were carried out to ensure the required performance was met. PKA also designed the necessary acoustic controls for the mechanical and hydraulic services plant to ensure the required indoor and outdoor amenity requirements were achieved.
