On-Site Acoustic Testing provides independent acoustic, noise, vibration, RF shielding, and secure-facility field testing in Huntsville, Alabama and the surrounding North Alabama defense and aerospace corridor.
Huntsville is an important market for OSAT because of the concentration of military, federal, defense-contractor, aerospace, research, and mission-critical facilities in the area. OSAT has completed several projects in Huntsville recently and has additional Huntsville-area work scheduled or anticipated.
Military, Federal and Defense-Contractor Facilities
OSAT supports new construction, renovation, commissioning, acceptance, troubleshooting, remediation, and retesting for military, government, and contractor facilities.
OSAT maintains cleared personnel capable of supporting work in secure and classified environments.
- SCIF, SAPF and VTC acoustic testing
- ICD-705-related acoustical testing considerations
- Secure-perimeter wall, door, floor and ceiling verification
- Identification of weak transmission paths and construction deficiencies
- Retesting following corrective work
- Speech intelligibility and speech-privacy testing
RF Shielding Testing
OSAT provides RF shielding testing and field verification for shielded rooms and secure or mission-critical facilities. Work can include continuity measurements, construction-phase checks, RF attenuation testing, troubleshooting of suspect seams and penetrations, and verification after remediation.
Building Acoustics and Sound Isolation
OSAT provides field building-acoustics testing for offices, headquarters facilities, laboratories, contractor spaces, institutional buildings, multifamily properties, hotels, and other facilities in the Huntsville area.
- ASTM E336 ASTC airborne sound-isolation testing
- ASTM E1007 AIIC impact-sound testing
- ASTM E966 façade, window and door testing
- Reverberation-time and room-acoustic measurements
- Door, wall, floor-ceiling and penetration troubleshooting
Noise, Vibration and Mission-Critical Equipment
OSAT can evaluate mechanical systems, generators, pumps, fans, industrial equipment, laboratories, test environments, and other systems where airborne noise, vibration, low-frequency energy, or structure-borne transmission affects facility performance. Testing can include frequency analysis, source localization, vibration measurements, and long-term monitoring.
Construction-Phase and Remediation Support
Testing can be performed before final acceptance to identify problems while assemblies are still accessible. OSAT can assist during construction, perform targeted intermediate testing, document deficiencies, and return after repairs or adjustments to verify final performance.
Independent Reporting for Project Teams
Reports can be structured for owners, government representatives, prime contractors, architects, engineers, commissioning teams, security stakeholders, and other authorized project participants. Depending on scope, documentation can include methods, instrumentation, calibration information, test locations, operating conditions, measured results, applicable criteria, photographs, identified deficiencies, and retest findings.
