Government auditorium and transport infrastructure with acoustic treatment

MMT Acoustix® • Government & Public Infrastructure

Acoustic & Soundproofing Systems for Government Projects

Auditoriums, metro stations, office buildings, railway infrastructure and pipeline facilities demand acoustic solutions that are robust, fire-safe, compliant with standards and executable at scale. Noise, reverberation and vibration directly impact how citizens experience public spaces and how staff perform within them.

MMT Acoustix® supports government departments, consultants, EPC contractors and PMCs with engineered systems using SoundBlanket® MLV, BassBloc®, wood wool boards, PET felt panels, wooden acoustic slats, ceiling baffles and acoustic carpets – backed by documentation, test reports and large-volume manufacturing.

Public-Facing Spaces

Auditoriums, metro platforms, courtrooms and offices with controlled reverberation for clear speech and reduced noise fatigue.

Technical & Utility Zones

Pump rooms, plant rooms, machinery spaces and pipelines treated for equipment noise, vibration and structural transmission.

Government auditorium and metro interior with acoustic treatment

Typical Government & PSU Project Types

  • Auditoriums, conference centres and town halls.
  • Metro stations, concourses and ticketing halls.
  • Government office buildings and secretariats.
  • Railway platforms, control rooms and support buildings.
  • Oil, gas, water and industrial pipeline infrastructure.

Each category combines unique acoustic targets, safety standards and execution realities. Our role is to make the systems technically sound and practically buildable.

Challenges in Public Infrastructure Acoustics

Common Noise, Reverberation & Vibration Issues

Long Reverberation

Large volumes with stone, concrete, metal and glass create long reverberation times that blur speech and amplify crowd noise in auditoriums, metros and public lobbies.

Poor Speech Intelligibility

Announcements, debates, court proceedings and public addresses demand clarity. Without targeted acoustic absorption, microphones and PA systems cannot compensate.

Vibration & Structure-Borne Noise

Trains, pumps, compressors and heavy machinery create low-frequency energy that travels through building structures, causing disturbance far from the source.

  • PET felt panels near seating and gallery areas to absorb audience noise.
  • SoundBlanket® within partitions to reduce sound transfer to adjacent rooms.

Layered Systems

Typical Acoustic & Soundproofing Build-ups for Government Projects

High-Isolation Wall System

Used between auditoriums and lobbies, meeting rooms and corridors, or noisy and quiet zones.

  • Base wall (block / RCC / drywall structure).
  • SoundBlanket® MLV fixed across the surface.
  • BassBloc® 20 / 40 mm as a damping and absorption layer.
  • Final finish in wood wool, PET felt or wooden grooved panels.

Delivers significant STC improvement with limited thickness and fast installation.

Ceiling System for Large Volumes

Ideal for auditoriums, metro stations, lobbies and concourses with high ceilings.

  • Acoustic ceiling baffles arranged in rows for directional absorption.
  • Clouds / rafts over critical listening or seating zones.
  • Coordination around lighting, sprinklers, HVAC and signage.

Controls reverberation without heavy civil work or loss of height in all areas.

Floor & Impact Noise System

Important for offices, control rooms, galleries and circulation areas.

  • Resilient acoustic underlay below tiles, stone or carpet finishes.
  • Acoustic carpet tiles in offices, galleries and VIP zones.
  • Edge detailing to avoid sound bridges at walls and columns.

Reduces footfall noise and structure-borne transmission between floors.

FAQ – Government & Public Infrastructure Acoustics

Frequently Asked Questions

MMT Acoustix® primarily manufactures and supplies acoustic and soundproofing systems along with detailed installation guidance. On most government and PSU projects, civil and MEP contractors appointed by the department execute the work, while we support them with drawings, method statements and remote technical coordination.

Yes. Our products such as SoundBlanket® MLV, BassBloc®, PET panels and wood wool boards are backed by relevant ASTM / EN fire tests and technical data. We share datasheets, test reports and compliance documentation for consultant review and tender submittals as part of the project process.

Wood wool boards are widely used worldwide in schools, sports halls, metro stations and auditoriums due to their durability and fire performance. PET felt panels offer a softer, fabric-like look with good acoustic absorption. Both can be detailed for high-traffic areas with appropriate edge protections and cleaning protocols.

SoundBlanket® MLV and BassBloc® are engineered to deliver high sound isolation and absorption in relatively thin, compact layers. In many build-ups, they reduce the need for very thick mineral wool, lower installation complexity and optimise the overall wall thickness – which can be critical in government buildings and retrofits.

Yes. Many of our systems are designed to be installed over existing walls and ceilings. PET panels, wood wool boards, baffles, carpets and even SoundBlanket® linings can be introduced with minimal demolition, provided the underlying structure is sound. We typically propose phased installation so that operations continue with minimal disruption.

At a basic level, we need project drawings (plans, sections), information on room usage, approximate dimensions, construction type, known noise issues and any target acoustic criteria (RT, STC, NC etc.) if already defined by the consultant. From there, our team can propose systems, quantities and budgetary estimates.

Yes. PET panels, wooden slats, baffles and even some wood wool finishes can be customised in colour and pattern, subject to minimum order quantities. This is particularly useful for premium auditoriums, metro stations, assembly halls and reception areas that must align with brand or institutional colours.

You can share your concept layouts, project briefs or DPR requirements through the Get a Quote page or via your appointed consultant. Our technical sales team will respond with suggested material systems, BOQs and supporting documentation that can be integrated into tender documents and project specifications.
