Meeting Customer Needs
Gatineau, QC
Our client required an absorptive precast concrete noise wall for the substation perimeter while maintaining flexibility in design. To ensure their vision was met, Durisol provided a comprehensive presentation showcasing a variety of patterns and colours to choose from.
The contractor— a valued repeat customer—was familiar with Durisol’s proven solutions and trusted our expertise to deliver high-quality results efficiently.
Innovative Design Approach
Durisol played a key role in the integrative design process, working closely with the client to convert the original cast-in-place firewall design into a more efficient Durisol Firewall system. After reviewing our proposal, the client opted for the Durisol Firewall solution, recognizing the benefits in terms of ease of installation, durability, and noise reduction performance.
Durisol Products Used
NB12 Noise Barrier System – for the perimeter noise wall
NB15 Firewall System – replacing the original cast-in-place firewall
Project Success & Impact
Despite a tight site with limited space, our partners successfully installed both the Noise Wall and Firewall, demonstrating Durisol’s ability to adapt and deliver high-performance solutions in challenging environments that ensure the overall safety of the public.
