Soundproofing requirements

As the second busiest airport in Australia, Victoria’s Melbourne Airport, began construction of a new domestic terminal late 2013 and was officially opened in August 2015. This new terminal (T4), was built with a capacity to handle ten million passengers a year, and to accommodate three airlines.

Terminal 4 is a 20,000m2, three-story facility, featuring self-service check-in kiosks, automated bag drop facilities, security checks, departure and arrival lounges, as well as a range of retail and dining outlets.

Megasorber P25 acoustic panels were specified and direct-fixed onto the concrete soffits to provide acoustic and thermal insulation. These acoustic panels minimise ambient noise and provide a comfortable and welcoming environment for such a bustling airport terminal.
