| PSE in-house resources include a number of sophisticated software programs that enable us to provide exceptional client service. CANVAS® PSE designed and wrote this DOS-based program for applications in the acoustical field. CANVAS®, an acronym for Computerized Analysis of Noise, Vibration, Acoustical and Sound, provides analysis over the full hearing range of reverberation, sound transmission loss and articulation. The program reviews important features, which ensure proper acoustical design for spaces, and determines product quality. The program yields high resolution. FIRENET This program calculates the hydraulic pressures and demand required for sprinkler systems that have been designed to comply with the hydraulic calculation requirements of NFPA 13 and BOCA codes. This powerful program enables us to confirm that designs will be based on sound engineering for the proposed application. PC-40 Analysis The PC-40 is a tremendous acoustical measuring tool which, years ago, amounted to over $40,000 in acoustical instrumentation. It would have required housing in an entire van to support its weight and dimensions. Today, the PC-40 is a portable acoustical computer weighing less than 15 pounds. It is battery operated, self-contained, and fits in a briefcase. This powerful tool enables us to measure and record reverberation time and frequency response. The PC-40 also allows us to evaluate sound transmission losses through partitions in a fundamental, useful manner. Subsequently, the curves are transported in memory to other special programs that analyze data correlating to standard NC curves for further analysis. Our resultant studies determine realistic solutions and practical applications of specific acoustical materials and structural elements in buildings. Instant View We have instant on-screen access to all CAD files in our database, which contains building plans and systems details for more than 700 buildings and thousands of drawings. Project Scheduling A vital component of expert project management, PSE offers computerized scheduling of project deadline requirements. Graphics Capabilities PSE's extensive in-house graphics capabilities include custom-CAD graphics with full color output for hard copy, transparency and postscript printing. |
