Silentium Group Collaborates with Solar Leader, Mitrex, to Bring the World’s First Solar-Powered, Sound-Absorptive Highway Noise Barrier.

By twelch_6wku8674
Monday, September 26th, 2022

TORONTO, ON, Sept 2022 – Silentium Group, Inc. is an industry-leading, turnkey noise barrier & retaining wall solutions provider responsible for bringing innovative, sustainable, eco-friendly products and expertise to the civil construction marketplace.

From project conception to completion, Silentium Group manages all facets of noise barrier and retaining wall projects including engineering & design, material supply and installation

Through collaboration with Mitrex, a photovoltaic noise barrier (PVNB) is in development for the North American market, offering a Noise Reduction Coefficient (NRC) of 0.7 through ASTM C423 testing, solar power production, and enhanced aesthetics for use on roads and highways.

The solar power produced by these new, innovative noise barriers can be directly supplied and used by nearby infrastructure. With a capacity of up to 22 W/SF, the solar power produced by these new, innovative noise barriers will transform our roadways into energy generators while maintaining the structure’s functionality. On average, each kilometer will be equal to a 1.2 MW power plant. The PVNBs can even be offered in virtually any design, including opaque and transparent options.

The truly revolutionary aspect of the PVNB panel technology is their noise absorptive characteristics. With performance comparable to existing absorptive noise barriers, the ability of these PVNBs to reduce unwanted traffic noise while also producing energy is the first type of noise barrier wall system of its kind.

Together, Silentium Group and Mitrex have already begun working with the Ministry of Transportation of Ontario (MTO) to assist in establishing product approval guidelines for this new technology by integrating Mitrex absorptive PVNB panels into existing MTO-approved noise wall system designs.

As these new guidelines are being established, Silentium Group has selected some of their existing noise barrier wall systems throughout North America to begin retrofitting with PVNB panels. These pilot projects with government entities are aimed to capture data and analyze the performance of PVNB absorptive panels for use in future projects.

“The North American transportation sector is a major contributor of greenhouse gas emissions in our economy. The effects of climate change are already impacting how we travel and damaging our infrastructure. This means the transportation infrastructure market must be one of the biggest parts of the solution” says Travis Welch, President at Silentium Group, Inc. “The demand for sustainable transportation infrastructure technology such as PVNB’s is a step in the right direction to help fight the climate crisis we are in.”

Solar noise barrier key features:

  • Sound absorptive noise barriers for any roadway
  • Integrated solar technology made in Canada
  • Production capacity of up to 22W/SF of energy
  • Aesthetic options including opaque, semi-opaque, and transparent
  • Low embodied carbon coupled with clean energy generation; a negative carbon embodiment of over -1000 kg of CO2 per SM.

Silentium Group “Raises the Roof’ with it’s Light-Weight Absorptive Rooftop Gravity Barrier System

By twelch_6wku8674
Friday, November 19th, 2021

Silentium Group was pleased to assist our Client and Lowes Canada by providing a turn-key noise mitigation solution with our light-weight, PVC, absorptive, rooftop, Gravity Barrier System. 

Being both fully flexible and self-supporting, SGI’s Gravity Barrier System was an ideal choice for our client when roof top penetration was not an option for screening multiple RTU’s. 

Our Canadian-made, absorptive PVC perforated panels were an ideal choice on this project, with SGI also being able to provide our clients with our lightweight steel insulated panel system with a plethora of aesthetic options.

The SGI Gravity Barrier system had a seamless installation, with no disruption to the Lowes store below. Our solution met all acoustical and structural requirements, including ASTM C423-17 (sound absorption) and ASTM E-90-9 (transmission loss) testing.   

Through our turnkey, single-sourced delivery model, SGI continues to expand its footprint with its lightweight noise barrier products in the ICI market. From ground to rooftop, SGI can provide solutions for all your noise mitigation needs.

Silentium Group Chosen to Provide Narrow Footprint Integrated Retaining Wall – Noise Wall Solution

By twelch_6wku8674
Tuesday, November 2nd, 2021

As the need for Residential Development continues to increase with population growth, the need for noise barrier walls around these communities are also a requirement.

Silentium Group was chosen to provide a turnkey integrated retaining wall–noise wall solution for the Jacobs Trail Residential Development project in St, Jacobs, ON. 

Residential Development Location   

With tight constraints due to the Region of Waterloo trail system, Silentium Group was called upon to provide its Narrow Footprint Integrated Retaining Wall–Noise Wall System. We are managing all facets of the project, including permit requirements, engineering/design, material procurement and installation.

This integrated noise wall project is currently in the design phase, with installation to commence in December 2021. 

We are proud to be in partnership with Stubbe’s Precast, who is providing us with all precast noise wall components (including ready-mix), for Silentium Group’s noise wall–retaining wall foundation design.

Silentium Group Chosen by Phelps Homes to Provide Turnkey Noise Barrier Wall Solution in Short Order

By twelch_6wku8674
Friday, January 4th, 2019

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.

Silentium Group’s Integrated Retaining Wall / Noise Barrier Wall “Steps Up” for Property Developer

By twelch_6wku8674
Thursday, August 24th, 2017

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.
