Acoustic barriers from Altrad Generation reduce noise breakout from your site by 30 decibels, using a PVC and foam construction that is both water and fireproof. They attach directly to standard Temporary Fencing Panels or Scaffolding, so you can add noise control to a site that already has Fencing in place without changing your perimeter setup. Reflective strips are built into every barrier, keeping the perimeter visible to anyone on site after dark.
Each panel measures 1335mm long and 2050mm high, and three barriers cover a standard 3.5m Fence Panel for full coverage along your perimeter. The roll up PVC and foam design is light enough to store, transport and put up quickly, and its water resistance is confirmed to BS EN 60529. These sound barriers also give you the option to add signage or corporate branding, turning a noise control measure into a visible part of your site identity.
Echo Barrier panels are widely used on city centre sites, where reducing noise protects relationships with neighbouring residents and businesses. They are just as suited to late night and overnight works such as road resurfacing, utility maintenance and rail trackwork, where noise control is often a condition of your working hours. If your project needs to demonstrate noise mitigation as part of a Construction Management Plan or planning condition, fitting acoustic barriers to your existing Fencing or Scaffolding gives you a straightforward way to meet that requirement.
