The creation of this new city of Jabal Omar includes 13 hotel towers of 100 m each as well as new roads and highways crossing it to ensure its desert. Hotels include:

  • An atrium;
  • A ballroom;
  • Conference rooms.

Methodology

A pioneer in working with 3D models and a leader in the visualization of acoustic phenomena, the acoustic firm Tisseyre + Associés has developed a joint working methodology with the architect and the urban planner. Thus, we were able to meet the specific requirements of this extraordinary project by integrating acoustics from the first phases of the project. This flexible methodology has made it possible to provide flexible and tailor-made acoustic solutions to all contractors.

Tasks

Urban acoustic mission

In order to ensure the desert of this new city, roads and highways were built. We have therefore studied all the predicted noise pollution on the facades of the buildings and sized the acoustic insulation solutions accordingly. Environmental Acoustic BIM – BIMAE has enabled us to anticipate and optimize facade insulation solutions from the base to the top floor.

 

Complete study acoustic mission – APD

The acoustic studies of large-volume rooms (such as the ballroom, the conference rooms, as well as the atrium) were conducted on the basis of 3D acoustic models with a finite element mesh system. The visualization of acoustic phenomena thanks to 3D modeling constituted a basis for work with all the architects and decorators of each hotel tower. This close collaboration has made it possible to provide tailor-made acoustic and architectural responses to everyone's requirements.
