Acoustic Penetation Treatment
Acoustic Penetration Treatment
Delivering Performance, Compliance, and Peace of Mind in Acoustic & Fire Solutions
Acoustic Penetration Treatment
At Contego, we understand that managing acoustic penetration treatments is critical to delivering high-performing, compliant, and comfortable commercial buildings. Our expertise is grounded in hands-on experience on some of New Zealand’s most complex and high-profile projects — including the New Dunedin Hospital, University of Otago Medical School Building in Christchurch, and the Dunedin Health Hub.
Acoustic Treatment Services
Contego provides tailored solutions for acoustic penetrations that protect the integrity of walls, floors, and ceilings where services (such as pipes, ducts, and cables) pass through acoustic barriers. We ensure that these treatments maintain the required acoustic performance as designed, while also addressing any associated fire, seismic, or structural needs.
Design review and detailing
Ensuring all penetrations meet acoustic ratings as specified in project documents and in accordance with NZ Building Code Clause G6 – Airborne and Impact Sound
Installation by experienced technicians
Using approved systems and materials designed for long-term performance and durability
Coordination with other services
Particularly fire rating, to manage the often complex overlaps between acoustic and fire protection requirements without unnecessary cost or complexity
Documentation & QA reporting
We provide clear, audit-ready records of compliance for client handover and building certification
Our Expertise in Acoustic and Fire Cross-Performance
Contego’s strength lies in our detailed knowledge of both acoustic and passive fire protection systems. We understand the clashes, conflicts, and synergies that can arise where these systems intersect, for example:
- Identifying where a fire-rated seal can also achieve acoustic ratings, or where a separate acoustic treatment is required.
- Avoiding over-specification that adds unnecessary cost or complexity.
- Advising on practical solutions that integrate with project buildability and sequencing.
This knowledge enables us to work proactively with design teams, contractors, and acoustic consultants to ensure seamless, compliant outcomes.
