CONCRETESoundBlok Concrete Noise Barrier - Concrete Noise Barrier System
Verified by manufacturer 4 months ago
Noise barriers made of a proprietary material consisting of organic softwood shavings processed to an acoustically engineered size and bonded together under pressure with low carbon cement.
Application
Absorptive/ reflective noise barrier, well suited for areas requiring a barrier with long life and high performing acoustics.
Applications: Road; rail; airport; commercial; industrial; utilities; ports; defence; residential; housing.
Description
Noise barriers made of a proprietary material consisting of organic softwood shavings processed to an acoustically engineered size and bonded together under pressure with low carbon cement.
Features and benefits:
- Innovative design: Noise barrier and retaining wall panels are stacked on top of each other.
- Versatile: Suitable for slope conditions, directional changes and areas with difficult site access. Fewer panels reduces on-site handling and installation costs.
- Cost effective: longest post spacing in the range.
- Flexible: panels can be modified on-site for short bays.
- Ideal for straight runs of wall with good site access where noise absorption is not required on the residential side.
- Each panel is made of high strength concrete, with acoustical absorption.
- The size and pattern of the perforations are designed to protect and maintain the sound-absorptive capability of the acoustic fill inside the panels.
- Highly sound absorptive, porous, rigid, non-combustible, thermally insulating and freeze-thaw resistant.
- Engineered in-house and specify the size for posts and the depth and diameter of footings. Standard steel posts or optional concrete posts can be accommodated.
- The standard systems are noise absorptive on both sides; they can also incorporate solid noise reflective or transparent elements, as well as integrated traffic barriers and retaining wall panels.
- The reverse side of the panel facing away from the noise source can be manufactured to offer a reflective or absorptive surface depending on the site requirements.
- Panels can be manufactured in a variety of architectural textures, patterns and colours.
- Due to the high density and strength of the panel the system is well suited for areas where there are grade differences between the two sides of the barrier.
- Individual panels can be removed and replaced: should replacement be called for as a result of structural damage, the panels can be changed in a safe and efficient way.
- Panels are not bolted, welded, or otherwise permanently fastened to each other or to the support posts (top security fixing added if required).
