Case Study 1
CASE STUDY 1 | Year: 2018
Wind tunnel for aerodynamic testing
A leading international company in the production of safety devices for two-wheel mobility entrusted us with a unique challenge: the construction of a soundproof structure around a wind tunnel.
This machine, essential for testing product aerodynamics at speeds exceeding 200 km/h, generated extremely high noise levels that risked compromising working conditions in adjacent departments and administrative offices.
The request was clear: to create a safe, soundproof, and visually appealing environment capable of reducing both internal and external noise without interfering with the wind tunnel’s functionality.
The challenge:
The main challenge was to drastically reduce the noise generated by the turbine and air ducts, which threatened the quality of work in surrounding areas. At the same time, it was essential to limit acoustic impact toward production zones and nearby offices, ensuring a safe and comfortable working environment.
An additional complexity involved building an entire structure starting from the existing machine alone, integrating sustainable and safe materials. Finally, the solution had to align with a modern, functional design consistent with the client’s international brand image.
Adopted solutions:
The result:
The project resulted in a state-of-the-art soundproof cabin capable of:
A one-of-a-kind international solution demonstrating how technology, innovation, and design can coexist.

CASE STUDY 2 | Year: 2018
Hydroelectric power plants
Two major Italian hydroelectric power plants required a complete overhaul of the soundproofing systems for turbines and alternators. Traditional solutions (glass wool and heavy metal structures) proved obsolete, bulky, difficult to manage, and no longer compliant with modern safety standards.
The client required an intervention capable of meeting three key needs:
- Noise reduction below legally required limits.
- Visual harmony with machinery and surrounding environments.
- Ease of handling and maintenance for operators.
The challenge:
The real challenge was to design a modular structure that was both lightweight and robust, capable of delivering high acoustic performance without adding excessive load to the plant.
It was also essential to minimize machine downtime during installation and integrate practical solutions that would allow operators to carry out inspections and maintenance quickly and safely.
Adopted solutions:
The result:
The entire structure was assembled in just over one hour—a record time that drastically reduced plant downtime. The achieved acoustic insulation met the most stringent standards, while daily operation became significantly easier: operators can now access turbines and alternators quickly and safely.
The final result is a robust, lightweight, and visually refined solution that represents a decisive step forward in soundproofing management for hydroelectric facilities.
