Noise pollution is increasing day by day. Residential areas were crowded with traffic that is leaving a nuisance for the residents. The increase in sound pollution has also increased in the level of mental stress in communities.

Noise barrier walls are constructed in a manner that they cancel the adverse effects of noise coming from the source. These noises canceling walls help reduce anxiety and stress that has been caused due to increased noise.

AFTEC prides itself on offering the best noise barrier construction services for the residents in Virginia and its surrounding areas. The sound berms are manufactured using precast concrete. These are crafted in a way that helps minimize incoming sounds.

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

Virginia has been facing noise pollution issues for a long time now. that is why the need for noise barriers is quite evident here. Keeping this in mind, AFTEC has stepped up its workability in constructing the best sound barrier walls for its clients.

Designing of Concrete Noise Walls

The construction of concrete noise walls requires efficient insight on practicality, functionality and aesthetic appeal. AFTEC not only constructs the best noise wall barriers for its clients but also gives beautification options to its clients. We incorporate the requirement of the customers, whether industrial, commercial or residential in our construction without any flaws.

Benefits of Industrial Noise Walls

Due to the increase in the population of the industrial sector, residential areas are also being intervened with industries. This has caused a gradual increase in noise pollution for residential premises.

The use of noise sound barrier fences and walls will maximize the absorption and reflection of the incoming sounds. These walls are installed in a way that they minimize incoming sounds, preventing the sound of industrial machinery to ruin your peace.
