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.
