DOUBLE SIDED, ABSORVENT POUROUS CONCRETE, SOUND BARRIERS – NAVIGATOR PULP CACIA, S.A.

Farcimar Group executed a Sound Absorvent Sound Barrier using double sided pourous concrete in the Cacia’s Industrial Complex, in Aveiro, for the Navigator Pulp Cacia, S.A.

This project refers to 480 m2 of a Sound Barrier in a 160 m alignment, using precast concrete columns and Sound Barrier panels, placed to increase the acoustic confort of an habitational complex to the North of the industrial plant.

Due to the existance of a railway line between the industrial plant and the homes, was estabilished the need of a double sided sound barrier, avoiding the dispersion of the sound by reflection.

The selection of concrete as the material to use was made because of the envoiremental exposure of this location (near the sea) to increase the use life of the barrier, minimizing the maintainance costs.
