Stadium de Toulouse RWC 2023 EAS Upgrades
Refurbished ahead of the 2023 Rugby World Cup, the Stadium de Toulouse required upgrades to its Emergency Alert System (EAS) which had experienced functionality issues.
The project brought together our French and Australian teams, demonstrating seamless collaboration across our offices.
CLIENT
City of Toulouse
LOCATION
Toulouse, France
COMPLETED
2023
Our Scope
Marshall Day Acoustics was engaged by the City of Toulouse to resolve the EAS issues in time for the 2023 Rugby World Cup.
Our work included:
On-site measurements to verify the performance of the proposed loudspeakers
3D modelling of the stadium in different configurations (full, empty, etc.) and calculation of LAeq and STI in the stands
Assistance with loudspeaker adjustments
Commissioning measurements
CHALLENGES
The project proved more complex than it initially appeared and demanded flexibility and quick problem-solving.
On-site measurements revealed that loudspeakers did not match the manufacturer’s specifications
Acoustic absorption coefficients for the modelling had to be estimated due to incomplete data provided by a foreign consultant
Very stringent STI criteria needed to be met for 100% of the seats
Numerous adjustments were required during the commissioning phase
A very narrow timeframe was available to complete works, adjustments, and commissioning between the end of the local club season and the start of the Rugby World Cup
