WHAT IS A NOISE BARRIER?

Noise pollution has become one of the most dangerous types of pollutions around the globe. The never-ending stream of traffic, reckless noise of metropolitans, loud Jet sounds, the nerve-shattering sound of industrial machinery, everything is adding up to everything is added up to this big cycle of noise pollution that ultimately leaves its negative effects on our health such as stress, depression, and anxiety.

AFTEC strives to provide you with noise-proof environments with our durable precast concrete noise barriers. Our reflective sound barrier reflects the sound waves to its source. While absorptive sound walls come up with extra insulations with an ability to break the sound waves and absorb it. We take pride to manufacture the sturdiest concrete sound barriers all across South Carolina.

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.

sound barrier 5 dB noise level reduction

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 South Carolina including Charleston and Columbia 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 South Carolina in several areas e.g. Charleston, Columbia etc.

Benefits of Industrial Noise Walls

Industrial units were established far away from commercial and industrial units to protect people against the harmful effects of the noise produced from the heavy machinery. With time, the demand for residential areas increased due to the increase in population. So, the residential area came adjacent to industrial and commercial units. Therefore, sound barriers are used to prevent residents from the reckless noise of industrial machinery. AFTEC takes pride in manufacturing prestige quality precast concrete sound barriers all across South Carolina.

Service Areas: Charleston, Columbia, Myrtle Beach, Greenville, Clemson, Hilton Head Island, Spartanburg, Florence, Rock Hill, Anderson, Summerville, and in all other cities of South Carolina.
