Design & Construction of Noise Walls

 

Navigation

Overview

A noise attenuation barrier is mostly built along roadways to enhance the local
environment. The barrier reduces the impact of road noise to adjacent residential,
commercial and parkland environments.

DESIGN

  • Creates a visually appealing motoring experience as urban art,
    using shape, colour, texture, light, shadow and rhythm
  • Reduces driver distraction from the surrounding environment
  • Provide a safe separation to limit access to major roadways to pedestrians
    and animals

CONSTRUCTION & MATERIALS

  • Steel or timber columns set in pile or on strip footing with panels
  • Panel materials include timber, concrete products, acrylic,
    recycled plastic, sheet steel and other profiled metal products
  • A combination of materials can be used in one wall section

QUALITY

  • Good noise walls are built to last while maintaining the designed
    look and feel, requiring little maintenance
  • Material selection includes attention to the detail of fixing and
    support elements
  • Good design of panel fitting systems allows efficient installation
    and an enduring, functional wall
