Outstanding performance

Echo Barrier products undergo thorough laboratory and field testing, to ensure that you get the best possible performance every time you use them.

Echo Barrior products are unrivalled at reducing sound pollution, but are light enough for one person to install them. Despite being thinner and lighter than our competitors’ products, our barriers are more effective.

Our products excel in the six areas most essential for noise reduction products:

Echo Barrier products are made with a special high-tech composite material that absorbs noise and suppresses noise reflection. At frequencies of 300Hz-1khz, it absorbs up to 100% of sound.

Echo Barrier products are fully waterproof to industry standards, IPx 6/9. They are effective in heavy rain and can be jet-washed.

Traditional acoustic blankets and noise barriers are often made of water-absorbent materials (such as fibreglass and Rockwool). When these materials get waterlogged, they weigh the barriers down and cut their noise reduction in half.

Extensive testing has proved that Echo Barrier's products provide unrivalled noise attenuation in the field. Laboratory tests have shown that our barriers reduce noise by up to 40dB. Even though our barriers are 50% lighter than conventional acoustic barriers, they are more effective. Echo Barrier's modular system of acoustic barriers are perfectly balanced in size and weight. They easily be linked and reconfigured to customize your barriers to for your work environment.

Echo Barrier's modular system of acoustic barriers are easy to move, deploy, and reconfigure for any situations.
If you need to create an acoustic wall or curtain, you can link the barriers vertically or horizontally. If you need extra noise reduction, they can be doubled up easily.
Echo Barrier's acoustic products can be positioned and modified to to meet your needs in almost any situation.

Tested to international standards:
Water-resistant test standard IPX6 / IPX9 (BSEN 60529:1992 )
Fire-resistant test standard ASTM E84 (BS 7837-1996)
Dust-resistant test standard BSEN 60529-1992
Cold-resistant test standard (result) BSEN 60068/2/1:2007
Tensile test standard (result) ISO 17025 (5.52kN vertical, 1.34 kN horizontal)
UV-resistant 3 years (USA + Canada)

The geometry of noise mitigation concerns the relative positions of:
* i) any barrier;
* ii) the source of noise it is intended to mitigate;
* iii) the noise receiver (in this case, the human ear).

The closer the barrier is placed to the noise source -making its "acoustic shadow" larger- the greater the noise attenuation. A barrier can also reduce more sound if it is made taller, or by using fence extentions
‍
As Echo Barrier products are lightweight and portable, they can be moved to cast the optimum acoustic shadow, and maintain the perfect site geometry as the project progresses.

The critical range in noise control is 300Hz-1000Hz. A noise control barrier must absorb as much sound as possible over this range if it is to be considered effective. Tested in the field, our barriers average a remarkable 77% efficiency over the crucial range. Considering our products are half the thickness and much lighter in weight than alternatives our competitive advantage becomes clear.

All Echo Barriers are designed with the end user in mind, they are easy to store, transport and install making for maximum site efficiency

What makes our acoustic barriers so effective?

The best way to understand how our temporary noise control barriers deliver market-leading performance at minimum weight is to take a look inside.

1. Front facing outer layer

We use super-durable, waterproof PVC, ensuring the best possible noise reduction without sacrificing appearance.

2. Noise-absorbent composite

Highest grade, acoustic absorbent made from recycled materials prevents noise from reflecting off the barrier (bio-degradable).

3. Waterproof breathable membrane

Absorbs sound, not water.

Designed with ease
of use in mind

Easy hook

Install in seconds without the need for permanent fixings

Reflective Strips

For extra visibility at night

High temperature in direct sunlight

UV resistant (5 years). Temperature resistant from -40° F to 158° F.

Mesh faces sound source

Always place the barrier with the black (mesh) side facing the source of the noise.

Do not use cutting tools

No sharp cutting tools to be used when unpacking barriers.

Frost resistant BSEN 60068/2/1:2007

Frost resistant from -40° F.

Water resistant BSEN 60529:1992

Fully water resistant, tested to IPX6/9.

Rigorous testing

There are two key measurements to consider when testing an acoustic barrier’s performance:

Transmission loss: The decrease in noise level (measured in decibels) that results when sound passes through a solid barrier;
Efficiency: The ability of a barrier to prevent sound reflection and its consequent increase in noise.

‍
By concentrating on one of these measures it is relatively easy for some barriers to perform well in the lab alone, but it is performance in the field that is vital.

Both in the lab and on worksites, Echo Barrier’s products achieve world-leading performance for both transmission loss and efficiency of sound absorption.

In some circumstances, Echo Barrier’s products perform better in the field than in a lab. The chart below shows the results of independent tests using a diesel-powered trenchless excavation drill.

When compared with their performance in the laboratory, Echo Barrier panels deployed on-site achieved an additional 5 dB in noise reduction at certain frequencies.

Temporary Sound Barriers, Los Angeles

Keeping the sound of progress in check with portable sound barriers, Los Angeles

Temporary acoustic barriers, Los Angeles

Los Angeles is one of the most famous cities, not only in the United States, but the world. Home to nearly 4 million people, it is a sunlit hub of activity, attracting tourists and business from across the globe.

Founded by 44 village settlers from Mexico in 1781, its original name was El Pueblo de Nuestra Senora la Reina de Los Angeles, or The Town of Our Lady the Queen of the Angels. It became part of the USA in 1847, and since then has more than lived up to its heavenly name, becoming one of the world’s great centres of art, finance, leisure and, of course, culture.

Los Angeles’s fortunes are ever-growing, but as its population and tourist numbers continue to rise, new construction projects and transport infrastructure needs to be put into place. This makes noise pollution a pressing concern, threatening to undermine the magic of the city, and its reputation as a desirable place to live, work and play.

At Echo Barrier we know that the future of Los Angeles need not be built at the cost of its present. Our acoustic barriers are the best way to keep the city on the path of progress, without deafening it with unnecessary noise pollution.

Outdoor sound barriers, Los Angeles

Keeping a construction project within a city’s defined noise restrictions isn’t easy, especially in a city as large and busy as Los Angeles.

Without noise cancelling technology, drills, traffic noise and heavy machinery can wreak havoc on the peace of the local community, making work much more difficult. Echo Barrier’s exterior sound barriers for construction provide up to 43dB noise control. Our acoustic barriers are a cost-effective, low-visual impact solution that is effective at delivering sound reduction. They have been used worldwide, with proven, award-winning results.

When it comes to sound wall barriers, Los Angeles contractors will not find a more durable or weatherproof solution than Echo Barrier. Los Angeles may enjoy near-permanent sunshine and gentle ocean breezes, but should a freak snowstorm or heat wave happen to strike your project, our barriers can withstand any temperature between -40 to 158 degrees Fahrenheit. They are also certified waterproof, meaning they can be jet washed to maintain their aesthetic appeal.

Temporary acoustic barriers, Los Angeles

Echo Barrier’s modular systems are highly versatile. They can be utilised across different construction projects, or on highways to reduce traffic noise for nearby residents and pedestrians.

Los Angeles is famously a city of cars where no one walks, and by using our sound barriers on highways, you can prevent the city’s miles of tarmac from causing excess disturbance. In areas of particularly heavy traffic, to most effectively use our highway sound barriers, Los Angeles workers may double them up to form a thicker barrier with increased noise attenuation. Echo Barrier’s lightweight designs mean our barriers can be transported and adapted to fit with changing projects.

Our panels can also be used to spread your corporate image. They're designed to carry corporate branding, acting as multi-purpose billboards to convey a positive message for your company in the form of logos, community care messages and more.

With our acoustic barriers, Los Angeles can continue to thrive with new construction, railways, highways, and more, while remaining free of noise pollution.
