Structure-mounted solution from AIL Sound Walls helps mitigate traffic noise from Virginia gaming resort

November 13, 2025

The Rose Gaming Resort in Dumfries, Virginia, is a 175,000 sf venue featuring 1,650 games, eight bars and restaurants, a hotel with over 100 rooms and event space, 2,500 parking spaces and 62 acres of greenspace with a seven-acre public park.

With all this activity, the resort wanted to mitigate the traffic noise along its lengthy entrance road to the complex. The project team selected a Tuf-Barrier (Reflective) from AIL Sound Walls and our lightweight PVC system was able to navigate a number of installation complexities along the 2,067′ run.

Complicated layout and attachment requirement
The noise barrier wall follows a constant upward slope and the contractor on the project, Terra Constructs, had designed a keystone block retaining wall with a moment slab and traffic barrier that our sound wall would connect to. We designed custom/project-specific base plates with slotted holes to allow for flexibility in field installation. We also coordinated fabrication and delivery of their steel posts for the retaining wall construction.

We worked very closely with the General Contractor, B&S Site Development; the Project Contractor, Terra Constructs; and the Consultant, Morris & Ritchie Associates, to develop the overall design concept. All three designs (retaining wall, traffic barrier, sound wall) had to work well with each other, so it was challenging to bring it all together.

Our project lead at Terra was very happy with our performance and has become an AIL Sound Walls partner in the area.

  • AIL Sound Walls extend parking structure walls to keep neighborhood peaceful

    Traffic noise from a newly constructed parking structure was affecting residential neighbors next to the Hillsdale Shopping Center in San Mateo, California. 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.
