Noise barriers along roads:
Noise protection has priority here!
Even though the mobility transition is well underway, rail and transport routes remain indispensable. Just like efficient noise protection systems that protect citizens from annoying road traffic noise and exclude it as far as possible as a cause of serious illnesses such as cardiovascular or respiratory diseases.
This is where the noise barriers from Ecotec come into play. Thanks to their innovative design and optimum weight per unit area, our ewall systems have excellent acoustic properties. With airborne sound insulation of less than 47 dB and sound absorption of less than 12 dB, they are well below the strict guide values of European standards EN 1794: B3 and EN 1793: A4.
Reduce road noise.
Thinking outside the box.
Anyone talking about active noise protection in Germany can hardly ignore the Road Traffic Act (StVG). Not without reason: The condition and the operation of vehicles are regulated here in accordance with Section 38 of the German Federal Immission Protection Act (BImSchG). And with it the noise level that the „German’s favourite child“ must not exceed under any circumstances according to the current state of the art.
Even more: Under the German Road Traffic Act (StVG), road traffic authorities can order urban planning measures to protect the population from noise and exhaust fumes. For example, with noise protection solutions from Ecotec that go far beyond the usual standard.
No longer a one-way street:
Effective noise reduction in road traffic.
Where efficient noise protection is actually required is essentially regulated by the guidelines for noise protection on roads (RLS-90). This is because they make it possible to calculate the actual noise pollution, taking into account the daily traffic volume, the proportion of HGVs and geographical features.
This is the only way to develop innovative models for effective noise protection for the residential population. And this well before the planning, expansion or renovation of traffic routes.
