For new folks, this is another use of Aeroquest/ATPanel technology we'll probably see put to use:
Highway Sound Abatement Walls:
AeroQuest has designed a number of products used in the highway and construction industries.
The most unique of these products is a Highway Sound Abatement Wall with a totally different
design (Patent Pending), choice of materials, manufacturing process, and installation method.
The unitary fiber reinforced thermoplastic sandwich panel construction method will allow for
sound abatement walls to be built exhibiting far superior noise abatement properties with
excellent strength to weight ratio resulting in very light-weight wall sections. The "all-composite"
sound abatement walls will be extremely quick and easy to install due to their very light-weight
property. The composite walls can be installed at a fraction of the assembly time that is required
for concrete sound barriers. As a result, heavy equipment is not required for installation and the
time needed to close down highway traffic lanes for installation is greatly reduced.
The cost to manufacture and install the AeroQuest all-composite sound abatement walls will be
substantially less than the cost of concrete sound abatement walls. AeroQuest's low cost manufacturing process when combined with the reduction in labor hours for installation will
result in cost savings to States and Federal Government of 50% or more.
There are additional benefits to the AeroQuest all-composite sound abatement walls. As a result
of the walls being produced using fiber reinforced polypropylene, the walls have the ability to
reduce noise by "sound absorption" rather than simply re-directing the sound. Also, by using
polypropylene to produce the sound abatement walls, "graffiti" can be easily cleaned from the
walls without the need for re-painting.
