An issue for local authorities, who are seeing record numbers of noise complaints; whether this is warring neighbours, dogs barking or noisy building sites.
An issue for building contractors, whose projects are being delayed and sometimes halted until the noise complaint can be dealt with, leading to extra operational costs and a negative image.
An issue for employees, whose health is being impacted due to regular exposure to excessive noise. And an issue for the general public, whose leisure time, daily commute or sleep is being affected by noise from jackhammers and pneumatic drills.
As our economy grows and the construction sector booms, building work is inevitable and essential. It is positive and signals recovery and we’re all for it. However, as is usually the case, progress comes with unavoidable side effects, and noise is one of them.
Echo Barrier are the UK’s leading manufacturer of noise reduction products. They may not be able to stop your neighbours blasting Justin Bieber at 2am, but they can reduce the harmful noise coming from that building site in town.
The Echo Barrier H2 and H3 are award winning noise reduction barriers. Flexible and lightweight, they are easily hung onto traditional site fencing with hooks, forming a wall which absorbs noise rather than deflecting it away. They can be rolled for easy transportation and storage, and can be either hired or purchased.
They have undergone strenuous testing and are completely weatherproof; their performance will not decrease in wet, windy or cold/hot temperatures, or over time. Filled with a patented noise absorbing acoustic foam, the technology behind the barrier is unrivalled in the market.
Recently named ‘supplier of the year to the construction industry’ at a national awards ceremony, Echo Barrier has been providing noise reduction solutions to the likes of London Underground, Balfour Beatty and Oxford University since its creation 5 years ago.
As well as big scale projects, they are also ideal for busy city centre sites such as utilities works, which may take place very close to shops and offices and which may involve very loud equipment such as pneumatic drills.
If you are a Local Authority or a Contractor and you want to show your audience that you are serious about your responsibility to the community and want to keep the peace whilst you build, Echo Barriers can be branded with corporate identity and messages relevant to your project.
