Sound control wall mitigates mechanical equipment noise at Florida body shop

April 18, 2017

The recently constructed Foggy Ridge Body Shop had a pretty clear idea about what they wanted in a sound barrier wall to mitigate unwanted noise for their residential neighbors on one side of their shop.

They wanted a system that would blend in aesthetically with the white PVC perimeter fencing they were installing around the rest of their property. They wanted a lightweight, economical system that would install easily in this high water table area of suburban Tampa.

They found everything they were looking for in AIL Sound Walls.

Noise control enclosures and walls designed to limit noise output and exposure

Often on new construction sites like this, we recommend that our AIL Sound Walls go in first so they can also protect the neighbors against unwanted construction noise. That’s how it went on this project.

Our Tuf-Barrier (Reflective) system, with matching PVC post sleeves and caps, was a perfect match with the white PVC perimeter fencing — as shown on the left in the image above.

We expedited production and delivery of the sound barrier components to keep the project on schedule. The installation contractor’s positive feedback referenced a happy owner who’s had no negative feedback from the nearby residents.

The existing 3' concrete perimeter wall was an effective traffic barrier but it did not offer much in the way of noise mitigation. Extending the concrete wall would have been too costly, so it was decided to structure-mount a lightweight Tuf-Barrier solution from AIL Sound Walls.

An all-PVC Tuf-Barrier solution from AIL Sound Walls had the right look and fit the budget and the site just perfectly.
