Absorptive acoustic barrier for haulage company

Absorptive acoustic barrier for haulage company

Established in 1975, Matthews Haulage provides an accelerated and green fulfilment service which leverages state-of-the-art technology, cross-docking, and GPS tracking to get products to customers faster and more efficiently, guaranteeing next day delivery.

At their storage warehouse facility in Essex, the logistics company needed a secure perimeter to reduce noise, provide security, and increase privacy and concealment of customer goods and operations.

Jacksons Fencing provided a comprehensive acoustic fencing solution for the logistics company to combat challenges related to both environmental noise and site security. The project involved the installation of a 3.5m high, 141.5 metre long absorptive acoustic barrier, which was strategically placed to address noise concerns from the company's operations.

The absorptive acoustic barrier was designed not only to reduce the noise levels generated by the haulage activities, but also to ensure that the company remained compliant with local environmental regulations. By absorbing sound waves from the storage warehouse, the acoustic barrier significantly mitigated the impact of noise on nearby residential and commercial areas, thereby reducing the risk of noise complaints and enhancing the company's relationship with the surrounding community.

Given its proximity to a busy road, the acoustic barrier was UKCA marked as a whole system, ensuring it met the stringent safety and performance standards required for installations near public highways.

The UKCA marking also provided assurance that the barrier would perform reliably under the conditions expected at the site, including exposure to road traffic vibrations and environmental factors.
