Abstract
Doha Oasis theme park is a 25,000 sqm theme park located within a wider mixed use development comprising retail, residential, hotel and four basement carpark levels. The theme park has an elliptic footprint and is enclosed around the perimeter. The theme park is being constructed on a suspended reinforced concrete slab and as such the potential for rides exciting the structure was assessed with regard to both perceptible vibration and structure-borne noise. Airborne noise generated from ride mechanics and patrons was also assessed within the enclosed environment. This paper presents a review of the methods used and the treatment proposed to control noise and vibration within the theme park and from transferring to more sensitive environments adjoining the theme park.
