Abstract
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is constructing a highly industrialized city, Madinat Al-Jubail Al-Sinaiyah, in its Eastern Province. This city is a cornerstone of the Saudi Arabian goal for a self-sufficient industrial state. Fluor Technical Services, Ltd., was selected as Managing Contractor and Constructor, and three other companies were selected as Process Contractors for the design and procurement of a sophisticated multibillion dollar petrochemical complex in this industrial city. The objectives of the noise control design for this project were to ensure compliance with the occupational noise limit of 85 dBA and property line noise limit of 75 dBA. Comprehensive technical and cost analyses were performed to ensure that the most feasible and econommical noise mitigation methods were used for this complex. Computer noise contour analyses were performed for the overall plant and for each process area to verify compliance with in-plant and property line noise criteria. According to the noise contour analysis, acoustic treatment measures implemented for this complex were very effective.
