Our research for affordable soundproofing includes online sources and in store visits.<\/p>\n
This week our group discussed these options for sound proofing based on our current research.<\/p>\n
During Monday’s meeting, we were asked to consider how this CSL project is similar to what we may experience as civil engineers. Typically, engineering projects have a detailed project timetable that outlines the major objectives, phases, and deadlines among other things. For this reason, group member Paul Docherty put together the following timetable which outlines the major phases of our project.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Research, Planning and Information Development<\/strong><\/p>\n Jan 13th<\/sup> 2012 \u2013 Jan 30th<\/sup> 2012<\/strong><\/p>\n This stage in the CSL project involves doing extensive research into soundproofing. It involves both research on the Internet as well as traveling to home improvement and soundproofing companies in order to find more information, including pricing for the materials and for installation.<\/p>\n During this period, our group will meet at least twice a week to either discuss information or to plan the installation of the soundproofing equipment.\u00a0In addition to group meetings, a visit to the SJMA Music Academy was organized as well as a meeting with our grad student advisor, Drew Serles.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Coordination with Kathryn Walker and Second Site Visit<\/strong><\/p>\n Jan 30th <\/sup>2012 \u2013 Feb 3rd<\/sup> 2012<\/strong><\/p>\n During our next site visit and meeting with Kathryn, we hope to coordinate our findings with her needs to see what the best solution for SJMA would be. Since they are on a tighter budget, we need to see what price range the board will give her before we can buy the necessary materials.<\/p>\n In this period we also hope to hear the children play a little more, in order to see the extent in which to provide sound control. At this time, each member in the group will have a much better knowledge of what soundproofing entails.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Buying Materials and Organizing Installation<\/strong><\/p>\n Feb 3rd<\/sup> 2012 \u2013 Feb 12th<\/sup> 2012<\/strong><\/p>\n Should the thumbs up by Kathryn Walker be provided, we will order\/buy the materials needed to complete the project. We will also keep a record of all financial dealings, so we can present her with the details. This time will also include a third site visit.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Installation<\/strong><\/p>\n Implementation Day, Feb 13th<\/sup> 2012<\/strong><\/p>\n Ideally, if all goes well up to this point, the installation of the soundproofing equipment will take place during this period. (Fourth site visit)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Final Check and Record of Improvement<\/strong><\/p>\n After Feb 13th<\/sup> 2012<\/strong><\/p>\n This period will consist of our group visiting the site for the last time, in order to record the level of improvement within the building and to make sure that we met all our goals. Assessing the improvements can give SJMA ideas for future upgrades in the facility.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Exact Dates of installation, group meetings etc. are not yet set due to the fact that SJMA\u2019s plans for budgeting are still in progress. Therefore, date ranges are approximate. This blog will be updated accordingly throughout the project.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Our research for affordable soundproofing includes online sources and in store visits.
