Noise and vibration control for refineries, petrochemical and LNG plants, compressor stations, and power generation. We measure the exposure, model the propagation, and engineer the mitigation — so uptime and OSHA compliance stop being a trade-off.
CSTI Acoustics provides industrial noise and vibration engineering for oil, gas, petrochemical, and manufacturing facilities across the Gulf Coast and nationwide. For more than 35 years we have worked inside operating plants — turbines, compressors, fired heaters, cooling towers, coolers, blowdowns, and flares — where the noise source is fixed, the schedule is unforgiving, and the standard of proof is a citation or a permit limit.
Our work follows a disciplined sequence: measure, model, mitigate. We quantify worker exposure and property-line levels with calibrated instrumentation, build a validated propagation model of the source and the site, and then specify controls — silencers, enclosures, lagging, and barriers — sized to the octave bands that actually drive the problem. You get a defensible number and a control that hits its target, not a guess.
Every engagement is directed by a board-certified acoustical engineer, so the report that lands on a regulator's, insurer's, or plant manager's desk carries the weight of a professional judgment — not a data dump.
From a single dosimetry survey to a full plant noise-control program, each capability is executed to the governing consensus standard and signed by a board-certified engineer.
Area sound-level surveys and personal dosimetry to 29 CFR 1910.95, with instruments meeting ANSI S1.25.
Exposure mapping, control priorities, and program documentation that satisfy the Hearing Conservation Amendment.
Silencers, acoustic enclosures, lagging, and barriers — specified to the octave bands driving the exceedance.
Outdoor sound propagation to ISO 9613-2 to demonstrate compliance at the property line and beyond.
Sound power level determination to ISO 3744 for equipment ratings, procurement specs, and warranty proof.
Machinery and structure-borne vibration surveys, isolation design, and mitigation for equipment and buildings.
Our measurements, models, and reports are traceable to the codes and methods regulators and insurers recognize.
