The Dubai International Airport DXB, is the largest of the Middle Eastern hubs. It is also the hub of Emirates, Dubai’s flag carrier, as well as the economical Fly Dubai. The Terminal-2 of Dubai International airport during its major refurbishment was completely redesigned for both the land-side and air-side zones.
LC Acoustics was appointed to verify the newly designed PAS and for that 3D acoustic modeling was used. Soon after the initial deign review it was evident that the original PAS design required revision. LC Acoustics was asked to develop a working solution that would conform to NFPA-72 and Dubai Civil Defense directives. LC Acoustics has developed noise criteria, uniformity of coverage conformity, system SPL and, speech transmission index (STIPA-2003) conformity to NFPA72. Electroacoustic system layout and distribution design assessment, acoustic treatment recommendation, and performance verification was conducted according to AVIXA 10M standard were part of project deliverables.
