Noise walls and precast concrete fascia panels<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Post-and-panel and other precast concrete noise wall and barrier solutions provide effective protection and sound barriers for residential, commercial and industrial areas. Precast concrete noise walls are designed for quick installation and minimal maintenance, while providing for aesthetically appealing creative and architectural finishes, all combining to enhance living and working environments.<\/p>\n<\/div>

FanWall\u2122 free standing sound barrier<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Reinforced Earth\u2019s FanWall\u2122 barriers are a modular precast concrete wall solution designed for noise reduction, as well as providing security and privacy fencing. FanWall\u2122 is a free-standing sound barrier consisting of full-height or stacked concrete panels, joined by simple stainless steel wire rope connections. The wall\u2019s stability is obtained with the proper combination of height, panel thickness and offset depth. The offset depth results in a trapezoidal pattern, giving the wall it\u2019s fan-like appearance and resistance to overturning.<\/p>\n

The free-standing sound barrier\u2019s design avoids the need for deep foundations, rigid posts or structural footings that are common to other alternatives. The slim panels are also easily customisable with creative and architectural finishes and the structures can be easily dismantled or relocated.<\/p>\n

Innovation in precast concrete barriers<\/h2>\n

The unique FanWall\u2122 layout consists of either full-height or stacked panels that are joined at engineered angles, which makes the wall free-standing with maximum vertical stiffness to prevent overturning and resist wind loads and vibrations.<\/p>\n

Panels are designed with rotatable, ball-and-socket interlocking joints. The joints provide the necessary residual angular rotation and vertical movement to resist the effects of expansion, contraction and frost heave. The panel joint is designed as close-fitting for both sight and sound.<\/p>\n

The design specifics of the Fanwall\u2122 panel joints are especially innovative. During installation, the precast concrete barrier panels are fastened together with aircraft-grade stainless steel cables, which are tensioned to close and tighten the joint. This unique connection system allows the Fanwall\u2122 to be easily dismantled or relocated with 100% salvageability.<\/p>\n

Installation<\/h2>\n

Our engineers and project managers coordinate design, manufacturing, delivery, and onsite technical guidance for the most efficient installation. Minimal site preparation is required, as panels are set directly on compacted granular materials. Installation is simple and follows a predictable, sequential plan. Typical production rates of achieving one panel placement including tensioning every ten minutes can be predicted.<\/p>\n

Applications<\/h2>\n

Fanwall\u2122 panels are ideally suited for architectural finishes, and in many cases have been built with sound absorptive cladding. Laboratory testing by the US military verified Fanwall durability against ballistics and forced entry.<\/p>\n

Since 1975, the Fanwall\u2122\u202f solution has been built in nearly every construction sector, including transportation<\/a>, urban and residential<\/a>, energy<\/a>, military <\/a>including:<\/p>\n
