hat exactly is a Highway Noise Barrier? How does it work?
Permanent Noise / Sound Control Barriers (PNCBs) are specially designed panels / acoustic walls which have the capability to block the direction of sound waves from traveling far distances or by absorbing sound waves to significantly reduce echo and reverberation.
They are specially engineered to solve noise issues in highway, help the contractors to comply with statute Noise Limits and avoid potential hassle caused by the short distance between residential and highway, including:
1.
Disputes with nearby residents
2.Fines given by the government
3.Lawsuit issues
Once those problems occur, there will be serious consequences to the contractors and buildings owners, such as:
Interruptions in daily production operations and delays in ongoing projects
Failure in ensuring Sustainability
Lose support from the government and public
NRC: 0.85
Noise Reduction Coefficient (NRC) refers to the amount of sound energy absorbed upon ‘contacting’ a surface.
NRC 0.85 reflects the approximate decibel absorption of noise/sound that our Jinbiao is able to perform. – i.e 85% of noise absorbed.
STC: 29
Sound Transmission Class (STC) refers to the amount of airborne ‘sound’ being blocked/attenuate.
STC 29 reflects the approximate decibel reduction in noise/sound that our Jinbiao can provide. – i.e 29dbA reduction potential.
Jinbiao noise barrier system is designed with both sides 1mm Galvanized / Aluminium powder-coated skin shell with aligned opening (Inner skin) and filled with High Density Acoustic Mineral Wool between the inner and outer metal skins.
Made from high-quality materials and developed by our Noise Control specialists, Jinbiao noise barrier is the best performing noise reduction/mitigation product in china.
The combination of a deflective and absorption design provides effective reduction for the noise generated by car.
Customised
Optimized sentence: Customization is available for most of our products at Hebei Jinbiao, where our Noise Control specialists will take into account site restrictions and customer-specific requirements to design noisebarrier based on gathered information. During installation, the noise barrier will be modified by our specialists until all requirements are met.
nvironmental Factors Influencing Barrier Selection
Environmental Factor | Considerations |
Climate | Extreme temperatures, humidity, and precipitation levels can impact material durability and performance. |
Wind Patterns | Understanding prevailing wind directions helps in optimizing barrier placement for maximum noise reduction. |
Proximity to Water | Nearness to water bodies can affect material degradation and corrosion, requiring suitable barrier choices. |
Designing for Aesthetics and Functionality
Your noise barrier should blend seamlessly with the architectural style and visual objectives of your project. Whether you prefer sleek modern looks, natural textures, or custom patterns, your noise barrier can complement the aesthetics of the surroundings while effectively reducing noise.
Setting Performance Standards and Ensuring Compliance
Define clear performance standards for noise reduction based on your needs. Local noise ordinances and regulations may also specify certain noise mitigation levels. Ensure that your selected noise barrier meets or surpasses these requirements for optimal results.
Choosing the Ideal Material
Select the material that best aligns with your project’s specific requirements, whether it’s steel, aluminum, glass, concrete, or advanced composites. Each material brings unique characteristics that can enhance your project’s performance and appearance.
Making the Right Choice
Choosing the ideal noise barrier requires evaluating multiple factors, from noise sources and environmental conditions to aesthetic goals and performance standards. By taking these considerations into account and leveraging our expertise, you can make a well-informed choice that maximizes noise reduction and complements your project’s vision.
Strategies for Long-Term Maintenance
As a dedicated noise barrier manufacturer, we understand that proper maintenance is essential to preserving the performance and durability of our products. In this section, we explore key maintenance strategies designed to extend the lifespan and noise reduction capabilities of our noise barriers. By implementing these approaches, you’ll ensure both the performance and appearance of your noise barrier investment are maintained over time.
Routine Visual Inspections
Regular visual inspections are the cornerstone of effective maintenance. Check your noise barriers for signs of wear, corrosion, or damage, allowing for early detection and intervention before minor issues become significant concerns.
Surface Cleaning and Upkeep
Keeping barriers clean is vital to sustaining their effectiveness. Remove accumulated dirt, debris, and pollutants from surfaces, using suitable cleaning methods based on the material to avoid damage and restore the barrier's original appearance.
Timely Repairs and Component Replacement
Addressing maintenance needs promptly prevents further deterioration. Repairing minor damage, replacing corroded parts, or reinforcing attachments ensures your noise barriers stay structurally sound and functional.
Periodic Acoustic Performance Evaluation
Regularly assess the noise reduction performance of your barriers. If you notice a decrease in effectiveness, consult with our team to determine if maintenance or adjustments are needed. Routine performance checks ensure that your barriers meet their intended noise reduction standards.
Developing a Scheduled Maintenance Plan
Implement a scheduled maintenance plan tailored to your project. This plan should outline routine tasks, inspection intervals, and frequencies for more comprehensive maintenance. Following a structured approach helps ensure no maintenance needs are overlooked.
Commitment to Long-Term Value
Implementing these maintenance strategies will maximize the lifespan of your noise barriers and sustain their noise reduction performance. Regular inspections, cleaning, timely repairs, and acoustic checks contribute to the longevity and continued effectiveness of your noise barrier investment.
FAQ 1: What is the primary purpose of noise barriers?
Noise barriers are engineered to reduce noise pollution by reflecting, absorbing, and diffusing sound waves. Their main function is to create quieter spaces for communities, projects, and public areas affected by noise from sources such as highways, industrial sites, and urban activities.
FAQ 2: What materials are commonly used in noise barriers?
Noise barriers can be made from various materials, including steel, aluminum, glass, concrete, and advanced composites. The choice of material depends on factors like the project’s design preferences, environmental conditions, and required noise reduction performance.
FAQ 3: Can noise barriers be customized to suit their surroundings?
Yes, our noise barriers can be tailored to complement the architectural style and aesthetic of their environment. We offer a variety of finishes, colors, and design options for seamless integration.
FAQ 4: What impact do noise barriers have on property values?
Reduced noise pollution often increases property values by enhancing livability. Noise barriers help create more peaceful residential and commercial areas, making properties more appealing to buyers and tenants.
FAQ 5: Are noise barriers compliant with regulations?
Our noise barriers are designed to meet or exceed regulatory standards for noise reduction, simplifying the project approval process and ensuring compliance with local ordinances.
FAQ 6: How long do noise barriers typically last?
The lifespan of noise barriers depends on material choice, environmental exposure, and maintenance. With proper care, they can remain effective for decades, providing long-lasting noise reduction benefits.
