Abstract
Details of noise control design are presented for a recent power plant expansion project that involved the addition of heat recovery steam generation to a gas‐fired power plant in the US. The project, including its expansion, was subject to a 45 dBA nighttime property boundary sound level limit. The development and coordination of noise control design for large and small equipment packages, some of which would be located within several meters of the property boundary, are discussed in detail. Sound level measurements are presented and discussed, particularly with regard to the challenges involved with conducting sound level measurements in the presence of ambient sound levels that often approached the allowable noise limit.
