THE CHALLENGE
The transit rail authority in Florida added a second track and significantly increased rail traffic along a high-end residential neighborhood.
The residents and the city management needed an absorptive and aesthetically-pleasing sound wall to shield their expensive residences from the unsightly and noisy rail traffic.
The railroad barrier was selected due to its outstanding attenuation performance and proven durability in a hurricane-prone area.
THE SOLUTION
Sound Fighter® Systems (SFS) designed a 20′ tall absorptive noise barrier for the community that provided a visual screen and significantly reduced unwanted noise levels at the residences.
SFS provided:
- Detailed engineered product drawings, layout drawings and installation drawings.
- Custom color-match Noise Barrier sections and top caps
- Custom-engineered, hot-dipped galvanized structural steel framework, footers and base channels
