SoundDown PAB System, Fortitude 150

Tauranga City Council Office

by

Willis Bond

The Tauranga City Council Office by Willis Bond is going to be the largest mass timber structure in New Zealand.

We connected directly with the client as they were looking for cost savings across the building. Our SoundDown PAB system provided a value-engineered solution that provided custom dimensions while maintaining the performance of our standard solution and significantly contributing to cost savings.

They also needed an aftermarket end grain protection solution for CLT joints, end grains and penetrations, Fortitude 150 met this specification at a very cost-effective price point.

SoundDown™ Duo

Restraint: Lightweight construction has been great in single dwelling units as a cost effective solution, but hearing your kids crashing around upstairs is not the same as hearing the neighbours, especially when you can't just tell them to keep it down.

Response: Build Anatomy developed 2 acoustic floors for lightweight construction depending on performance requirements and floor finishing preferences. SoundDown Duo, a raised floor with granular insulation and SoundDown Solo, a low profile, simple solution for cost driven construction.

DoundDown™ PAB
