Description of the project The Getzner solution
In renovating the Hotel Alte Post inArzl, Tyrol, Getzner was tasked withinstalling impact noise insulation forheavily-used loors. As part of therenovation work, an extension forthe supermarket MPREIS was also
constructed at the front of thebuilding.
n addition to the supermarket, thebuilding complex is also intended tohouse a restaurant, a dental surgery, acosmetic studio and private dwellings.
Owing to the varied usage of the complex, a special type of noise insulation
was required. The aim was to reduce
both structure-borne noise and secondary airborne noise over the 2500
m2 usable loor space.

I"The opening date was non-negotiable,
which meant all work had to be completed before deadline day. Therefore,
it was even more critical that we not
only found an effective solution, butalso a partner with the necessary experience to implement it. This is whatdrew us to Getzner," explains Ingrid
Heinz, spokeswoman for MPREIS.

Eficiency thanks to high degreeof impact noise insulationetzner scored highly in the Hotel
Alte Post project thanks to morethan just our solution-inding ability
and consultation services; in this project, the quality of the product wasalso key. The Getzner Construction
Mat has been specially designed forheavily-used loors in industrial andcommercial premises and meets highnoise insulation requirements. It perfectly dampens the high noise levelcaused by walking or travelling overthe loor through particularly effective
decoupling of the screed plate. Running machinery and equipment orclusters of people generate noise andG

vibrations that can be disruptive toother users of the building. Due to thehigh impact noise insulating effect of
the elastic Construction Mat, the project managers in Arzl were able tocomply with all limit value speciications with just a single layer of thematerial measuring a mere 16 mm
thick. Comparable products on themarket are only capable of delivering
the same effect if installed in multiple
layers. This product beneit permitted
a lower loor construction and accelerated installation times. Both aspects
have a positive impact on construction
progress and costs – and not just inArzl. The entire shoploor, stockroom
and part of the restaurant – an area
totalling 800 m2 – have received anBonded joins

eficient impact noise insulation solution. Staff from Getzner were on-site
during the installation to provide expert advice and support.
Bespoke planning, punctually
delivered
Alongside elastic materials, Getzner isalso a source of extensive technicaladvice on vibration isolation. "Withevery project we undertake and analyse exactly what the customer wants
and needs in order to work with themin developing the right solution. To
verify the effectiveness of the actions
taken, we also assist the project withrepeat noise measurements. A major
challenge in the Alte Post project wasthat all the stipulated work had to becompleted by the opening date.
Thanks to excellent coordination andseamless interaction with the othercontractors on-site, we were able tomeet the required deadline. Regularconstruction meetings as well as theperfectly arranged delivery and installation of the material undoubtedly
contributed to the successful conclusion of the project," summarised
project manager Lothar Säly.

"The experts from Getzner provided
valuable input and were on hand tolend their support during the installation process. By completing everything to schedule we were able toopen the building on time in
November 2013", reported Ing. Harald
Stoll from construction supervisors
Stoll Wohnen Bau GmbH in Arzl.
