Effective acoustics, noise control, and state-of-the-art technology systems are among the top trends in airport infrastructure that have a direct impact on passenger experience and satisfaction.
Acentech’s team of acousticians, noise engineers, and technology specialists offer comprehensive solutions to enhance aviation design. We consult with designers, engineers, and airport authorities to deliver successful outcomes with appropriate acoustics, technology, and noise and vibration controls to address the changing landscape of aviation facilities.
Our collective expertise in the planning, design, and construction of airport terminals—along with our deep understanding and implementation of sound isolation techniques for adjacent residential and commercial properties—positions us well to address both current and future trends in modern airport design. These trends include the expansive use of technology, increased customization, and the evolution of diverse service models that support everything from new terminal builds to terminal refreshes and club lounge developments. Our team is also well-versed in navigating regional and geographical aviation requirements and guidelines. A key differentiator is our ability to integrate acoustic strategies with advanced technology systems in unique, high-volume spaces—an essential feature in today’s airport environments—ensuring an optimized user experience through both comfort and innovation.
