IBW Schall- und Schwingungstechnik · Ingenieurbüro Waning

About IBW

IBW Schall- und Schwingungstechnik is an independent engineering office based in Coesfeld (North Rhine-Westphalia), owned by Dipl.-Ing. Patrick Waning. The office offers planning, consulting, assessment and measurements in all fields of technical acoustics and noise protection, vibration and shock protection, as well as vibration-diagnostic evaluation of machines and plants. The service portfolio includes vibration and oscillation analyses, pressure pulsation measurements, natural frequency and mode shape analyses, torsional vibration and torque measurements, vibration investigations and predictions according to DIN 4150, room acoustics calculations according to DIN 18041 and VDI 2569, noise and vibration measurements at the workplace according to LärmVibrationsArbSchV, sound immission measurements and predictions according to TA Lärm, as well as FEM calculations and expert report preparation. Based on extensive measurements using multi-channel data acquisition, causes are analysed and practical, cost-effective mitigation measures are developed. Clients include trades, industry and public-sector clients throughout Germany; consulting services are provided worldwide. Reference projects include, among others, power plants, natural gas metering and regulating stations, wastewater treatment plants, data centres, production halls and research buildings.
