Utility – Balitmore, Maryland

This utility enclosure around a substation is Baltimore, Maryland offered the perfect solution to the customer’s problem. This noise barrier uses Durisol’s Richmond Noise Barrier system, with posts spaced at 15’ on centre.

The customer approached Durisol in the Spring of 2018 to start working on a design for a noise barrier when neighbors began to complain about the noise emitted from the substation.

Durisol worked with the customer and project engineer during the design process to ensure their foundations could support the loads transferred from the noise barrier.

The customer required an enclosure wall around a transformer that would meet a noise reduction coefficient of 0.80, the Durisol product had no issue meeting this requirement.
