Hale Street- Inner City Bypass
In collaboration with the Brisbane City Council and the Queensland Government, we undertook the construction of an acoustic noise wall for the Inner City Bypass. The noise wall seamlessly incorporates plywood and glass for an aesthetic appeal, as well as providing practical functionality. Rising to 7 meters high, the plywood acoustic fence is used as both a retaining wall and auditory shield for the surrounding residents.
Project scope
Our mandate encompassed the comprehensive Design, Supply, and Installation of an acoustic wall, strategically positioned to shield the tranquillity of the nearby residents.
Key Features of the Hale Street Barrier
Design & Composition: These barriers are typically composite structures combining sound absorption and sound insulation materials to reflect and absorb road noise effectively. In some sections, the infrastructure includes blade walls and concrete U-shaped headstocks to support the bypass’s elevated ramps.
Purpose: The barrier was installed to mitigate high decibel levels from the approximately 105,000 vehicles that use the ICB daily. It specifically addresses noise impacts for residents in high-density areas like Paddington and Milton.
Outcomes:
A 7m High acoustic fence that meets visual expectations for the inner-city bypass, but also provides exceptional noise reduction.
