SOUNDBUFFER provides sound control solutions for different project throughout New Zealand.
SOUNDBUFFER developed the mobile soundproof canopy in conjunction with J&R contracting to meet the unique requirements that the high profile city link project demanded.
The noise control consent stated work to be completed out of hours however this world first sound proof canopy has opened up the possibilities of labour saving by eliminating the need to complete complex concrete cutting projects in high density areas like the Auckland CBC.
The key method in sound control is to position the noise baffle as close to the scource as possible.
Our sound control flexible covers meet the Health & Safety requirements in minimising noise thereby protecting both the public and construction personnel from progressive hearing loss and noise fatigue over time. By installing the noise absorbing baffles between the noise source and the public we have reduced exposure by 12 decibels and eliminated public complaints, once again proving the advantage of hiding the obtrusive noise from the public eye.
The piling noise control canopy was designed in close cooperation with Concrete Structures to achieve the required maximum noise consent of 95 decibels. This innovative design is custom built to fit the pile driving attachment and absorb the vibration that pulsated down the I-Beam during the hammer process.
