Oliveira Contracting used our temporary acoustic barriers to reduce noise pollution at the One World Trade Center in the heart of Manhattan.
Our barriers cut noise by 15dB(A) – instantly improving conditions for local residents, businesses and tourists. The results were so impressive that the WTC project team asked Oliveira Contracting to roll our barriers out across the site.
The noise problem
Oliveira Contracting were successful in winning a tender for essential roadwork operations at One World Trade Center. They were briefed to avoid noise pollution that would negatively impact residents, businesses, and tourists, at this renowned and sensitive location in central Manhattan.
Our solution
Echo Barrier’s Temporary Acoustic Barriers were installed to reduce noise pollution, and also to protect passers by from dust created by construction.
The results
Before installation: the acoustic environment was 84-85dB(A). After installation: noise was reduced to 76/78-dB(A).
This was the improvement needed and the WTC team were so impressed they then asked Oliveira to introduce Echo Barrier’s Temporary Acoustic Barriers across the entire site.
