Absorbent and reflective materials, shaped into specific geometries, allow for a low-rise, modular, self-supporting design, suitable to last for years without degradation or maintenance.
The system does not require a foundation and therefore avoids the need for costly civil works. It complies with the railway legislation required for elements that are positioned near the track.
Currently, in urban and peri-urban environments, conventional solutions are not adequate to the standards of living demanded by society: enormous visual impact, marginalization, limited space, the need to carry out civil works or intrusion problems, are their main drawbacks. In addition, other solutions such as burying tracks are technically and economically unfeasible.
Less visual impact due to its low height
(less than 1.2 m).
Designed to attenuate noise in urban environments: It achieves acoustic attenuation equal to or greater than that obtained with a conventional acoustic screen of 8 meters.
Suitable for traffic speeds up to 150 km/h.
Lower costs than a conventional barrier of similar effectiveness (4 to 8 meters high).
It does not present problems to the impact of wind loads, due to its weight and low height.
Does not need maintenance.
Does not require foundations.
It is adaptable to multiple additional applications.
