Ian Kilgour, health safety quality and environmental manager, Murphy Group
The diverse nature of our work means we are often close to highly-populated residential areas and it became evident that improvements could be made to noise reduction. We ran a test on several noise barrier products, which involved wrapping them around a speaker noise source on three sides and measuring noise attenuation and leakage. The Echo Barrier H came out best.
Mesh fencing is often erected around sites to secure the site and separate construction works from the public, and the lightweight Echo Barrier H panels are easily fitted to these by securing them with specially designed hooks and elastic ties.
The panels are made from a dense material that’s designed to achieve the maximum possible noise attenuation for the minimum weight, which is great for us because heavier barriers cause an issue for manual handling and transport and lighter barriers seriously compromise attenuation.
