Concrete Noise Barrier Walls and Sound Barrier Fencing

Precast concrete technology revolutionized the manufacturing of noise or sound barriers. AFTEC‘s noise barrier walls are highly effective in blocking noise from traffic or industrial sources and like all AFTEC products, are built-to-last. Save time and money with vertically precasted sound barriers for your projects.

WHAT IS A NOISE BARRIER?
Also Known As Sound Walls, Sound Berms, or Sound Barriers.

Noise barriers - also known as sound walls, sound berms, sound barriers or acoustical barriers - are outdoor walls that provide the most effective method for blocking noise from busy roads, highways, railways and industrial sources. They’re designed to reduce the transmission of sound, protecting people against noise pollution that can cause stress and other adverse effects.

Noise barriers interrupt sound from a source like vehicles traveling to a receiver, such as a home. The sheer mass of the barrier stops the sound energy and redirects it. About three-quarters of noise barriers are made of precast concrete or masonry block.

AFTEC Precast Concrete Sound Barrier Fence

AFTEC’s noise barrier walls are the ideal solution for reducing sound around many different types of facilities, such as logistics companies and distribution centers where truck traffic is ongoing 24/7. Precast concrete sound barriers reduce noise pollution significantly.

AFTEC’s noise barrier walls. which have decorative formed texture on one or both sides, not only addresses the issue of sound transference and noise protection but also provides aesthetically pleasing finishes that enhance the areas where they are installed. Different textures break up noise differently and AFTEC has a wide array of designs available for residential, commercial, and industrial applications.

Whether along highways or surrounding industrial facilities, noise barrier walls are the ideal solution for blocking sound waves from reaching residential neighborhoods.

Industrial and Commercial facilities alike have trucks coming in and out on a regular basis which causes significant noise pollution to the surrounding neighborhoods. Sound barrier walls are a great solution for buffering the noise emitting from these facilities. The same is true for substation plants and other logistics facilities.

How Does A Noise Barrier Work

Noise barrier walls physically reduce noise by absorbing or reflecting it; or by forcing it to take a roundabout path that causes it to dissipate. The sound is a type of energy that grows stronger as they travel away from their point of origin. Vehicles on a road generate sound waves - mostly from the sticking and peeling off of rubber tires on pavement - that travel in all directions. When the waves arrive at a barrier or obstacle, they either are absorbed or bounce off.

As clearly defined by the Federal Highway Administration, a noise barrier can achieve a 5 dB noise level reduction when it is tall enough to break the line-of-sight from the highway to the receiver, such as a home or person. After it breaks the line-of-sight, it can achieve approximately 1.5dB of additional noise level reduction for each meter of barrier height.

Reflective noise barriers - which cause sound waves to bounce off in a different direction - are one of the most effective methods for blocking noise. Reflective walls of solid concrete that create a barrier and push sound away from homes or other areas being shielded.
