BUILD Architecture Awards 2023 100 We are passionate about providing sound materials and sound solutions.” There’s no escaping the fact that the world is getting louder. With space at a premium, and population density increasing, good quality sound-proofing is only going to become more in demand. And, potentially, exponentially so. Equally, as we now firmly in our post-COVID event-filled lives, its important too to consider the repercussions of such gatherings - noise, and a lot of it. On this landscape, and with these considerations very much in mind, Megasorber has endeavoured to set best practices and make its own indelible market on this evolving market. “Megasorber designs, manufactures and supplies a unique innovative range of acoustic materials for noise and vibration control. Megasorber FM acoustic panels, for example, are inherently fire-resistant, extremely lightweight and costeffective to install. Combined with the patented sound absorption technology, the acoustic panels have been wellloved by our clientele, which includes architects, designers, builders, engineers and consultants. Megasorber provides products and solutions for the whole range of noise and vibration issues in the building and construction industries, from interior acoustic for superior speech intelligibility, to rain noise reduction for metal roofing, speech privacy, pipe lagging to reduce sewage pipe noise, plant room noise reduction and so on”, Vahid begins by explaining. Dynamism and innovation defines Megasorber from the outset, as focused as the team is on continuous development and improvement of its product line – only too aware that while incredibly effective, there’s no ‘one-product-fits-all’ solution… not yet, at least. For now, there hasn’t been a project that Megasorber has failed to exceed on all expectations. “We first seek to understand the project requirements and then to develop effective solutions and options. We customise the products and solutions to suit project needs. We have in-house design, manufacturing and R&D capabilities incorporated under one mega-site in Mitcham, Melbourne, Australia. Combining our multi-talented team together with continual R&D, we strive to advance our know-how, innovate and introduce new soundproofing materials and solutions to the market. With our patented technology and advice, our products result in quality sound solutions that please our customers.” “Megasorber assists architects, builders and consumers in improving acoustic comfort, resulting in better work and living spaces. We enrich people’s lives with sound solutions and sound materials.” Ultimately, this is where the future of Megasorber lies and where much of their internal investment is dedicated to. Among the more imminent developments is a range of new finishes, such as woodgrain finishes, alongside mould and fungi resistant products for commercial kitchens and other humid atmospheres. “Our products were recently installed in a high profile UK theatre – this has resulted in more theatre projects. Megasorber has now been specified for theatres in the USA, as well as in Asia Pacific. We have a huge growth plan - exciting times ahead for 2023 and beyond,” Vahid adds. With all of this in mind, Megasorber’s future is looking to be a time of extraordinary growth and expansion, as the team looks to enter new markets and industries. Stay tuned! There’s more to come from the company yet. Case Study - Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) Acoustic Treatment The Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) is the 10th-largest stadium in the world, the largest in Australia, the largest in the Southern Hemisphere, the largest cricket ground by capacity, accommodating well over 120,000 spectators. Improving the acoustics made it a challenging project. 1. The large open concrete soffit made the stadium very echoey, resulting in poor speech intelligibility. 2. The acoustic panels had to be highly effective, especially at the mid to low-frequency range, and there is very limited area and space to install these products. 3. Architecturally, the product must blend in with the existing fit-out and design; 4. The product must be suitable for semi-outdoor conditions, i.e., it is exposed to external elements and all sorts of weather; 5. Fast and cost effective to install - the stadium is open to the public and the installation of the product had to be scheduled between events. https://megasorber.com/mcg-case-study/ Contact Details MEGASORBER Pty Ltd Building 3, 621 Whitehorse Road Mitcham, Victoria, 3132, Australia www.megasorber.com Best Soundproofing & Absorption Specialists 2023 – Australia & Most Innovative Soundproofing Solution 2023: Megasorber FM Megasorber has forged an incredible reputation on the back of its best-in-class acoustic products and undeniable soundproofing expertise.
