NMBS's mission in Belgium is: ‘To guarantee reliable, safe and efficient trains that you can count on day after day.’ To succeed in this, the organisation needs to invest in a high-end facility where testing can be carried out following thorough maintenance work. Merford has played a major role in delivering the most optimal acoustic solutions over the past years.
Industry
Solutions for production and technical environments
Industrial environments can generate significant noise that affects both employees and the surrounding area. Merford provides sound insulation, tailored enclosures, ventilation systems, and fire- and burglary-resistant doors that improve safety, comfort and regulatory compliance while maintaining smooth operations.
Noise control in industrial environments
Safe, efficient and compliant production facilities
Noise is one of the most common challenges in industrial operations. By identifying key noise sources and applying the right acoustic solutions, we help create safer workplaces and reduce environmental impact.
Reducing noise at the source
Industrial processes often produce high noise levels that affect both employees and surrounding communities. We analyse noise sources and design tailored solutions, such as sound-insulating doors, acoustic ventilation louvres, enclosures and sound barriers, that integrate seamlessly into existing operations.
Controlling noise from mechanical systems
Installations and machinery in production lines can generate significant noise. We carefully assess each situation and determine the most effective solution. This can range from enclosures and sound-absorbing panels to improving room acoustics, always in line with relevant standards and requirements.
Our expertise
Acoustic engineering for industrial performance
Our expertise covers the full spectrum of industrial noise control, from sound insulation and absorption to ventilation, doors and compliance. We help our clients meet requirements set by the Building Regulations, the Working Conditions Act and environmental noise limits, ensuring safety and efficiency across production facilities and installations.
For manufacturers and production facilities
Creating safe and comfortable industrial workspaces
Industrial processes and technical installations can generate disruptive noise that impacts employees, equipment and the surrounding environment. Merford helps manufacturers identify critical noise sources and apply effective acoustic solutions, ensuring safer workplaces, improved comfort and compliance with regulatory standards.

How are the critical noise sources identified in a production environment?
Merford starts with a detailed analysis of the production environment. Our specialists combine on-site noise measurements, process observation, and analysis of machines and installations. We assess not only sound levels, but also where the noise originates, how it propagates and which frequencies dominate. This allows us to identify the sources with the greatest impact on employees and surroundings, and to define where acoustic solutions will be most effective.
What is the difference between sound insulation and sound absorption in an industrial hall?
Sound insulation prevents noise from transmitting to other spaces or outdoors, while sound absorption reduces reverberation and reflections within the same space. Industrial environments often require a combination of both.
Can acoustic solutions be scaled up when production capacity is expanded?
Many solutions are modular and scalable, allowing additional machines or production lines to be equipped with the same noise control measures without a complete redesign.
