As developers and retailers now target neighborhood-based big box stores, residents and communities are demanding better sound abatement. Silentium Group’s maintenance-free sound wall systems help keep the peace between commercial developers and neighboring residents.
Silentium Group made fast work today setting numerous noise barrier wall posts on this big box store development project in the GTA.
Silentium Group has been selected through Graham Construction to supply and design 3 kilometers of its absorptive noise barrier and integrated architectural cladding system. The Davenport Diamond refers to the intersection where the Barrie GO corridor meets the CP rail tracks in Toronto, ON Canada. It’s one of the busiest train intersections in North America.
Davenport Diamond Grade Separation Project is a critical part of Metrolinx’s GO Expansion program and represents an important transit infrastructure commitment that will significantly improve service on the Barrie GO line. Silentium Group is proud to have been selected by Graham Construction and Metrolinx to provide its innovative noise barrier wall solutions and services.
Frito-Lay parent PepsiCo Foods Canada called on the Silentium Group (SGI) when they began to expand their Cambridge manufacturing plant adding on a new 144,000 square foot warehouse facility. By expanding, Frito-Lay wanted to appease adjacent neighbors by providing an effective absorptive noise barrier wall solution. SGI was up for the task by managing all aspects of the required noise barrier wall solution including material supply, design and installation.
Based on the requirements, SGI provided its absorptive noise wall system with a total length of 450 lineal meters at 6 meters in height. Each noise wall section spanned 6 meters and was 6 meters in height with only two absorptive noise wall panels per section. The end result was a very satisfied customer with an aesthetically pleasing, well performing noise barrier wall.
Silentium Group (SGI) was up for the task when asked by Phelps Homes to provide a turnkey noise barrier wall solution for their residential development project in Grimsby, ON. Phelps Homes required a noise barrier wall solution on top of a berm that would mitigate noise from highway traffic and the rail line adjacent to their residential development property.
Not only was time as of the essence for the Owner to have this noise wall solution completed, but they were also looking for a company to handle all facets of the project including material supply, installation and design. SGI is on track to have this turnkey noise wall project completed within a month. Further updates to follow once SGI has completed this turnkey noise barrier wall solution for Phelps Homes.
The Silentium Group teamed up with ParkLane Mechanical Acoustics to provide the Goldman Group with a turn-key noise abatement solution for their residential development project. With over 200 lineal meters of earth retention required, Silentium Group’s integrated retaining wall / noise wall was the perfect solution for the required application.
A secondary 5 meter high L shaped noise barrier wall was also required and Silentium Group’s absorptive AcoustaCrete noise barrier wall system was also the ideal noise wall system to integrate seamlessly with the earth retention – retaining wall requirement.
Silentium Group’s cantilevered post and panel design was very effective dealing a tight lot line while allowing for minimal excavation and back-fill area. With the noise abatement and earth retention requirements in place, the Goldman Group is continuing to develop the area for a future Mattamy Homes residential development site.
Silentium Group was up for the task when approached to meet a plethora of requirements for a high end residential development noise wall project. Not only was the Owner looking for an aesthetically pleasing noise wall that performed well acoustically; the geotechnical report concluded that core drilling into limestone bed rock would be required to achieve the foundation design provided by the Silentium Group.
By providing continued site assistance along with working closely with the Owners general contractor, Silentium Group’s project management team exceeded all of the Owners requirements and expectations. The noise barrier wall is attracting a lot of positive attention where a local golf course is now looking to install the very same Silentum Group noise wall system alongside a freeway adjacent to the course.
