Red Acoustics February 7 2012 - Case Study

The teetering towers of discarded, worn-out tyres historically seen stacked up by the motorway may soon be a thing of the past. Innovative companies such as Eco-Blok Europe Limited have found a way of transforming them into a creative new defense barrier against traffic noise. The dense rubber compound, if shaped, positioned and erected correctly – enter the specialist skills of Red Acoustics Limited – can significantly reduce noise disturbance created by our busy highways and motorways. Red, recently commissioned by Eco-Blok Europe, is currently working closely with the manufacturing team and US company South Bend Modern Molding Inc. on reducing the noise pollution created by the well-used highways of America. The potential versatility of the barrier means it can be applied to many sources of modern noise – traffic, railways, airports, industrial areas. In an increasing culture stretching worldwide that depends so heavily on the car, travel and industry, the positive impact on the environment through reducing noise pollution is obvious.
