TOO CLOSE FOR COMFORT: The distance between the highway and residential land, and the narrow access road (below), allow only one vehicle to pass at a time
SYLVESTER NAVARATNAM, a resident in Tiara Titiwangsa, previously known as Kampung Baru Air Panas, says the concessionaire of DUKE highway, Kesturi, denied residents their rights when constructing the highway six years ago.
"They denied our rights by acquiring public roads without going through the proper procedure such as a public hearing....more
To whom it may concern:

My son is doing a science fair project on highway noise barriers. He is comparing the efficacy of innovative noise barriers in terms of reductions of noise levels. He is a 6th grade honors science student at American Heritage School in Plantation, Florida. While searching the web, he came across your website. He was quite impressed with the aesthetic value and the practical value of your aluminum louvered metal absorption panels and and acoustic hollow masonry hollow blocks noise wall barriers. Would it be possible to obtain a sample of your product? Also, would it be possible to obtain any test data you may have comparing your product with other similar products? Your help would be greatly appreciated. If you have questions, please feel free to call me at xxx-xxx-xxxx or you may e-mail me at xxxxx@msn.com. Thank you so much, in advance, for your help.

Sincerely,
Ann Patel

Noise Barrier for Construction Sites

Noise generated from construction machine such as piling hammer, hacking machine, compressors, excavators, earth diggers and trucks used to move earth always create noise. These forms of noise pollution are especially bad and sever if the construction sites are just next to existing houses, bungalows, schools, hospitals, condominiums or apartments.

In most countries now it is a requirement that builders, developers and contractors are required to install some form of noise barriers to reduce noise pollution from construction sites instead of using the normal steel or timber hoarding during the construction period. These noise barriers have to be light, easy to install and non costly as it has to easily attached to existing scaffolding or steel tubular hoarding structures. At the end of the construction these noise barriers can be dismantled and moved to the next construction site and reused. For more information on these construction site noise barriers, its specifications and methods to install these noise barriers please contact  www.noisesorb.com



These images show the front view, back view, close up view of the view facing the construction site and the final image shows the clamps to attach these noise barrier panels to existing tubular steel structures or scaffolding. Very important are the fact that these noise barrier panels reduce both transmission loss (STC) and the open louvers allow sound absorption (NRC) by the sound absorption infill which may be either glass wool or rock wool.
