What to Consider When Storing and Installing Soundproof Walls?

Storage site requirements should be level, meeting moisture-proof and dust-proof conditions, without affecting the construction site, and convenient for the transportation and hoisting of soundproof walls and steel columns.

When unloading, sufficient strength lifting straps should be used as hoisting slings (steel wire ropes and other rigid slings are strictly prohibited to prevent scratching and breaking the sound-absorbing panels).

3. During the storage and transportation of soundproof walls, it is essential to avoid direct sunlight exposure, rain, and snow, and maintain cleanliness. Strictly prohibit contact with substances such as acids, bases, oils, and organic solvents that may affect the quality of our products and services, and keep a distance of more than 5 meters from heat sources.

4. Place wooden planks or blocks beneath the steel columns (blocks are placed under the sound-absorbing panels) in an orderly manner according to the type and marking requirements of the soundproof wall.

The entire unloading and storage process should ensure that the coating on the soundproofing walls and steel structural columns remains undamaged.

During storage, transportation, and installation, the soundproofing walls must not be removed at will.

Insulation walls and steel columns should be covered with waterproof plastic film when stored on-site, and a drainage system should be set up at the bottom to ensure the products are not submerged.

8. During storage and installation, it is strictly prohibited to step on the sound-absorbing panels and steel columns for surface damage, or to use the sound-absorbing panels and steel columns as other main load-bearing structural components of the enterprise (such as bridge decks), with the stacking height of the acoustic wall not exceeding 15 layers.

Schedule regular maintenance for residential sound barriers?

Foot bolts exhibit loosening and corrosion. Pillars are secured to the ground using flanges and bolts, with ground bolts typically being metallic bolts. Over time, these bolts corrode and rust, leading to connection damage and further causing the screen body to tilt. This is also a non-standard phenomenon of securing the screen body.

Figure 2. The glass panels piercing the sound barrier are loose, and the window frames and seals are aging. Transparent insulating screens are typically made of materials such as PC boards, acrylic sheets, and laminated glass, all of which are subject to erosion by wind and rain.

As time passes, the yellowness phenomenon gradually occurs, affecting the visibility and light permeability for vehicles on the highway. The seals, strips, and window frames connected to the noise barriers of transparent residential areas also gradually age and detach.

There have been some instances of mortar crushing and powdering off in the gravity mortar, as well as the unfull-filled areas through the gravity mortar. Over time, this has caused the sound barrier pillars in our community to become loose, resulting in screen vibrations.

The cause is the detachment of the gravity mortar, leading to instability in the H-shaped steel. The noise barrier in the community requires the establishment of road foundations before the installation of the H-shaped steel columns. If the road foundation detaches and becomes unstable, it naturally causes vibrations in the community's noise barrier screens, and over time, the screens may even collapse.
