FAQs

What makes an FRP sound barrier wall better than concrete?

 Unlike concrete, FRP is incredibly lightweight, meaning it does not require heavy lifting equipment to install. Furthermore, FRP will not spall, crack, or corrode over time, resulting in a significantly lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).

Are Soundscape noise barrier walls DOT compliant?

 Yes, our commercial noise walls meet or exceed all AASHTO and DOT guidelines, making them ideal for highway, transit, and public infrastructure projects.

What is the acoustic performance of Fibergrate's sound barrier wall panels?

 Soundscape® sound barrier walls deliver high-performance commercial noise reduction, offering a Noise Reduction Coefficient (NRC) of 1.0. Depending on the specific requirements of your infrastructure project, they are available in absorptive configurations achieving a Sound Transmission Class (STC) of 30, or reflective designs with an STC of 31.

Are FRP noise barrier walls resistant to extreme weather and corrosion?

 Yes. Unlike traditional wood that rots or steel that rusts, our FRP noise barrier walls are inherently resistant to moisture, severe freeze/thaw cycles, and harsh chemical environments. This ensures long-term structural integrity and a significantly lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) for municipal and commercial infrastructure assets.
