Road acoustic screens — WAVEBREAKER
The problem
An existing road screen that no longer complies, where raising it by two metres means rebuilding the foundations.
The solution
WAVEBREAKER is installed on top of existing acoustic screens to increase their noise reduction. With only 20 cm of added height it achieves the attenuation of a barrier up to 2 m taller, without affecting the visual setting.
Specifications
| Additional attenuation | Up to 7 dBA |
|---|---|
| Height | 0.2 m above the existing screen |
| Weight | 16 kg/m |
| Material | 100% recycled and recyclable |
| Saving | Up to 75% versus building taller barriers |
Applications
Existing barriers that need to be brought up to standard, new lower screens at a lower total cost, sites with low ground bearing capacity, and weight savings on bridge structures.
Which requirement does it help you meet?
Applicable both to bring an existing screen up to standard and to design a new, lower one, with less load on bridge structures and a lower total cost. Verifying the real contribution requires modelling the stretch. These solutions are often needed to meet environmental commitments and reference standards such as the FTA in the United States or the OPB in Switzerland.

Once it is installed, we can measure the result and put in writing whether the acoustic requirement was met. Post-installation acoustic verification →
