High Performance Acoustic Barriers | Soundproofing Screens

Internal Soundproof Screens & External Acoustic Barriers

AGS Noise Control Ltd are experienced in the design, manufacture and installation of acoustic screens and soundproof barriers for both internal and external applications.

These fall under 3 main categories;

Industrial Acoustic Screens
Environmental Acoustic Barriers
Commercial Noise Control Screens

Examples include:

Internal industrial screens -utilising industrial sound barriers for print presses or factory environments to reduce noise at certain areas from machinery;
External environmental acoustic screens to reduce noise emissions from plant or equipment such as chillers, air conditioning condensers, or other external plant causing a statutory nuisance to nearby residents; these include acoustic louvred screens
Temporary Soundproof Screens to construction or demolition works;
Noise Control barriers to residential developments to mitigate the effects of road or rail noise
Acoustic Movable Walls for industrial/environmental partitions where demountable panels are required
Rooftop acoustic screens for roof plant and other noise sources, AGS can also create free standing acoustic barriers which don't penetrate the roof membrane

Project Specification

We understand that each project is different with different requirements and challenges. Therefore each acoustic barrier we design and build is bespoke and designed to suit the specific requirements of the project. Specific consideration are given to the following:

Design

AGS Noise Control are one of the leading acoustic barrier designers in the UK. Their calculations can account for things like wind loading & snow loading. All factors which are considered when it comes to the foundation and whether structural steelwork is required. Often forgot about design elements include colour and appearance, typically AGS specify grey noise barriers on roofs for example, so that if a person looks up at the sky the barrier should blend into the sky behind.

The required level of noise reduction & absorption

For environmental noise situations, an acoustic survey to BS4142:2014 may be required to determine the required size, position and construction of the particular barrier. We can engage our qualified Consultants to undertake this if required. Our acoustic panel system can achieve up to 70dB(a) Rw, and can be tailored to fit Noise Impact Assessment mitigation requirements to provide the most economic option whilst reaching the required insertion loss values.

Construction

We can design and build soundproof screens manufactured to meet the needs of the project. Including but not limited to.

- Galvanised steel

- Stainless steel

- Aluminium

For example, acoustic louvres screens may be required to provide a flow of cooling air to plant being screened or clear upper sections required to reduce the visual impact of a barrier to a residential development.

Finish

Consideration is given to the finish of an external noise barrier which would is exposed to the elements for a long time with minimal maintenance requirements.

For example, structural steelwork can be hot dip galvanised to BS EN ISO 1461 and powder coated to provide a suitable decorative finish if required.

Access

Soundproofing doors to enable access to the plant will be included if required.

Structural requirements

An acoustic screen can be exposed to large forces due to wind. Therefore AGS design suitable support structures to accomodate.

AGS Noise Control employ an independent structural engineer to validate our proposed structural steelwork designs. This allows peace of mind that the structure meets all applicable current standards.

In addition to the design, manufacture and installation of acoustic enclosures. We can also offer a full project management service including the supply of the some of the following additional items:
