Silentium Group’s (SGI) absorptive noise barrier wall system with integrated coping beam has been installed in collaboration with Ground Breaking Foundations on the entire north MSE wall phase of this project.
Over the past month, SGI and Ground Breaking have kept the pace for General Contractor Graham, while simultaneously continuing to complete both remaining phases of the elevated guideway and south MSE wall – noise barrier scope of work on this complex project.
Through a rigorous RFQ process, Silentium Group was selected by American Iron & Metals (AIM) in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada to lead both the design and build of one of the tallest noise barriers walls in North America.
By checking all the boxes with experience, design efficiencies, schedule, aesthetic options and quality noise wall materials, SGI has commenced the design of its massive absorptive noise barrier wall that will exceed four stories (13m) in height.
Stay tuned for future updates on this exciting, innovative design/build noise barrier wall project.
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.
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.
The Maintenance and Storage Facility (MSF), located on Belfast Road, is a key feature of the Confederation Line, Ottawa’s Light Rail Transit (LRT) project.
While looking to extend onto an existing noise wall for continuous noise mitigation, OLRT Constructors chose Silentium Group’s MTO DSM Eco Sound Barrier System due its superior noise wall panel spanning capabilities of over 4 meters; along with appeasing local residents with an intricate stone print pattern panel design as shown below.
Silentium Groups noise wall system will be designed to connect to an existing noise barrier and stand tall at 7 meters with a length of over half of a kilometer. Construction of Silentium Group’s Eco Sound Barrier to commence in August of 2017.
Silentium Group is leading by example and is getting noticed as an industry leader for providing innovative integrated noise wall systems, design flexibility and superior customer service. Such reasons are why Metrolinx chose Silentium Group to provide an integrated noise barrier wall / retaining wall system for the Mississauga, Ontario Winston Churchill BRT Go Station.
With substantial grade separation between the Metrolinx property line where buses enter the terminal and adjacent neighboring residents; Silentium Group was up for the task when requested by Metrolinx to provide an integrated retaining wall / noise wall system design including an option of increasing the noise barrier wall height after installation.
Metrolinx embraces the concept of community based development through community relation programs while valuing feedback from surrounding residents affected by such projects. Metrolinx wanted to provide the effected residents the option to increase the height of the noise wall after the BRT Go Station was operational. The Silentium Group was able to meet and exceed all required expectations set forth by Metrolinx on this exciting Go Transit project.
