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.
