Noise Barrier Basics

The Durisol Noise Barrier System is essentially a post and panel system. Vertical posts are anchored to the ground using caissons, driven piles, poured footings or structures. All panels span horizontally between the posts and rest directly on the footings. Post spacings up to 24 feet can be accommodated. Wall heights over 35 feet have been constructed. A standard Durisol noise wall is sound absorptive on both sides: NRC from 0.70 to 0.90 depending on texture and design.

The Durisol Noise barrier System is designed to meet all State or Provincial Highway Bridge Design Codes, AASHTO, CHBDC, ASTM, CSA, etc. All manufacturing is carried out under ISO 9002 Standards. Testing for structural integrity, acoustic performance, durability, (such as freeze-thaw, salt scaling, weatherometer and fire), are performed on a regular basis. Reports are available upon request. All assembly of components uses no rigid connections to allow for thermal, frost heave, and settlement movements. See web site page “What is Durisol” for more properties.
