The Acoustic Barrier comprises a series of
vertical support posts, usually galvanized
steel universal columns, the acoustic elements
are Aluminium cassettes 4 meters long x 600
mm high filled with an highly absorption mineral
wool.
These cassettes are located within the flanges
of the posts and laid on edge one on top of
another thereby making barriers of different
heights in increments of 600 mm. ( We can
make custom heights if the quantity required
is sufficient for economic production).
One
side of the barrier is perforated to allow
the mineral wool to absorb the noise.
The
barrier can be successfully used on highways,
railways, and industrial premises to mitigate
the problems of environmental noise.
The height of the
barrier is usually defined by the engineer
but we can advise as necessary.
A unique feature
of our barrier is that it can be curved in
the vertical plane due to the circular design
of the top and bottom interlocking edges.
It can also be coloured to your own requirements
for aesthetic purposes.
The acoustic performance
was achieved with the aid of the acoustic
division of Salford University, tests on the
finished design showed compliance with the
highest classification of all the relevant
UK and European standards.
