Mohammed VI International University Hospital

We have developed a joint working methodology with the architect. Indeed, our 4D digital soundscape modeling tool in the future state of completion, the BIMAE®, is an essential work support for close collaboration with architects and urban planners at all stages of the project. By taking into account the noises of transport, human activities and technical equipment, the 4D cartography of the BIMAE® allows a joint study of the internal and external functions of the projects and the visualization of the sound propagation at the foot, in the facade and around a building. Thus, we were able to anticipate, optimize and integrate the acoustic solutions within the architecture of the project.

Complete environmental acoustic mission

The construction of the Mohamed VI university hospital in Bouskoura has been accompanied by the emergence of a new neighborhood in the surrounding area. Thanks to the BIMAE® we modeled the soundscape in the future state of completion, an essential work support for reflection on the coherence of sound spaces according to the activities. The modeling is based on a sound database (the Urbanistic Noise Map®, ADEME contract) in order to avoid depending on the intrinsic variability of the acoustic measurements. This approach also allows us to identify, from the design phase, the points of acoustic tension in order to propose acoustic solutions integrated into the architecture.

Acoustic solutions for technical equipment pollution

Right from the design phase, the BIMAE® therefore enabled us to precisely identify an imbalance in the soundscape linked to the technical equipment. We have therefore developed an absorbent acoustic screen on the inside (αw ≥ 0.8) with a surface area of 1,000 m² made to measure to eliminate nuisance and meet architectural requirements.
In addition, our virtual acoustic laboratory has enabled us to develop and test the acoustic performance of all the interior and exterior ceilings and joinery of the hospital.
