WHAT IS A NOISE BARRIER?

It goes without saying that one of the leading pollution percentage is that of the noise. It is exponentially increasing with every passing day. The reason behind this is the fact that the sources of noise pollution -heedless traffic, boisterous highways, loud clubs, hustling shopping malls, appliances, industrial equipment, and all such are constantly increasing and adding to it, hence pushing the pollution factor to rise.

AFTEC has proposed a sound working solution to shield you and your eardrums against the adverse effects of this exceedingly rising noise pollution -Concrete Noise Barriers. They withstand the time and serve to seal the outside noise-distractions. Our ultimate noise barrier services are available all across North Carolina which includes Charlotte, Raleigh, Greensboro, Wilmington, and the places around.

We, at AFTEC, are pleased to tell our potential customers that we excel at providing the most reliable and dependable sound wall installation services in North Carolina. Our services include engineering and manufacturing two kinds of sound barriers -reflective sound barriers and absorptive sound barriers. The reflective sound barriers do as their name suggests -reflect. They reflect the sound to its origin. On the other hand, absorptive sound barriers are more functionally diverse and advanced. These sound and noise barriers break the incoming sound waves into multiple smaller chunks to efficiently absorb and seal them.

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.

Reflective noise barriers — which causes 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.

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.

AFTEC Precast Concrete Sound Barrier Fence

There are many areas and cities of North Carolina including Charlotte and Raleigh where traffic is marching round the clock. The noise of traffic above a certain level affects the human body. Therefore, precast concrete walls are installed to hinder noise.

Designing of Concrete Noise Walls

Presently, it is not just the practicality and functioning of the concrete structure that matters but also the beauty of walls. For the sake of outdoor beauty, AFTEC uses decorative concrete noise walls. We make your place look aesthetically appealing by installing these beautiful walls that keep you safe from noise pollution as well as decorate the home outdoor.

No matter it is an industrial or a residential area, concrete sound & security wall is the structure that is built to protect people from the harms of noise. In different areas, consignments are sent and received so the movement of trucks and commercial traffic is continuous. Their noise can cause hearing problems and tension. We have the best solution to all this annoyance i.e. concrete noise walls. We offer services across the state of North Carolina in several areas e.g. Charlotte, Raleigh etc.

Need for Noise Walls Installation

In earlier times, the industrial or manufacturing units were always built on the outskirts of the residential areas. With time, the population increased and spread. It gave rise to the need for expansion of the residential space. As an outcome, the distance between both industrial and residential sectors was shortened, leading to an increased noise pollution factor.

Moving a whole running industrial plant to another locality was quite an arduous task, but then again industrial-machine roaring and clanking got unbearable. For this reason, to seal the sound and bar the noise effects from reaching the residential localities, concrete sound walls were installed around the industrial unit. Now, with the time, their need and function have increased manifold, serving both commercial and residential sectors.

Service Areas: Charlotte, Raleigh, Wilmington, Greensboro, Asheville, Durham, Fayetteville, Chapel Hill, Cary, Winston-Salem, High Point, and in all other cities of North Carolina.
