Acoustic Walls/Noise Barrier

Noise Control Solutions for Industrial Applications

Description
Technical Data

Acoustic walls are designed to reduce noise transmission by approximately 15-20dB due to sound passing over the barrier, providing reliable noise control in industrial and commercial environments. Constructed using high-performance acoustic panels, walls ensure effective and high sound attenuation while maintaining structural integrity.

The absorptive panels are available in multiple thicknesses. In general, a panel thickness can be 50mm up to 150mm (2 to 6 inches) to meet the project-specific noise requirements, ensuring optimal performance for each application.

The panel outer casing is built from durable materials such as galvanized steel or stainless steel, enclosing layers of sound-absorbing mineral wool. This design effectively reduces noise while preventing issues like rot, mold, and bacterial growth.

Acoustical barriers are free-standing and shall consist of a series of vertical steel posts fixed to a suitable concrete foundation. A series of horizontal bars/rails are attached to the front of the posts to allow for mounting the acoustic panels.

Our acoustic walls offer a practical solution for managing noise, enhancing operational efficiency, and compliance.

Industrial applications generate considerable noise as a result of high-capacity machinery, continuous operations and complex infrastructure. Without proper noise control, these environments can pose risks to employee health, disrupt surrounding communities and violate environmental and occupational noise regulations. Implementing tailored noise mitigation solutions of acoustic walls, noise barriers and silencers while utilizing acoustic modeling, CFD, FEA and noise measurements to design solutions not only supports safety, but also enhances operational efficiency and community relations.
