Traffic Barrier and Soundwall System
A traffic barrier and soundwall system is disclosed having wide-flanged [or H-posts] vertical posts oriented with a flange facing a roadway. Traffic barriers are located between them. The barriers have recesses at the intersection of their backs and ends. An angle bracket is positioned in the recess to separate the post from the barrier. A U-shaped strap has a base and a pair of arms extending from the base. Traffic barriers are positioned against the posts so that the angle brackets in the recesses are adjacent to the road-facing flange of the post. A strap fastener connects an arm of the strap to the recess of each of the adjacent traffic barriers. In this way, the base of the strap surrounds the rearward-facing flange of the post to secure the traffic barriers to the post. Sound barrier panels are located on the top of the traffic barriers, secured between the webs of the neighboring posts.
Traffic Barrier With Inertial Crash Panels and Sound Barrier
A traffic barrier and soundwall system is disclosed having wide-flanged [or h-posts] vertical posts oriented with a flange facing a roadway. Traffic barriers are located between them. The barriers have recesses at the intersection of their backs and ends. Sound panels are stacked on top of the traffic barriers. A crash panel is located between the vertical posts, above one or more sound panels. The crash panels have recesses at the intersection of their backs and ends. Additional sound panels are stacked above the crash panels. An angle bracket is located in the recess. U-shaped connectors connect the recesses of adjacent traffic barriers together around a post. U-shaped connectors connect the recesses of adjacent crash panels together around a post, and above the traffic barriers and sound panels to achieve a MASH TL-4 crash test rating.
SOUND ATTENUATION BARRIER WITH IMPROVED EASE OF ASSEMBLY
Embodiments relate to a plastic wall panel, comprising a hollow body having external walls and defining an internal cavity. The external walls include: a first major side wall, a second major side wall opposite the first major side wall, a minor top wall, a minor bottom wall, a first minor end wall and a second minor end wall opposite the first minor end wall. The minor top wall and the minor bottom wall each define mating structure to mate and align with another adjacent panel so that multiple panels can be tiled together to form at least part of a sound attenuation barrier. The hollow body defines a passage extending between the first and second major side walls and through the first and second minor end walls to receive a reinforcing beam.
Support System For Supporting And Securing A Wall Structure To A Barrier
A wall support system is provided and includes an adjustable bracket system that attaches a bracket support beam to one or more of the traffic barriers. The adjustable bracket system includes two bracket members spaced apart by a top connecting member; where the top connecting member supports the bracket assembly straddled overtop the bracket support beam which is laid transversely atop one or more barriers. The bracket members are fastened to the barrier and tightened to the bracket support beam. This creates an adjustable system that corn accommodate barriers of various cross-sectional widths and wall angles, to form a strong connection between a framework and the barriers.
SOUND BARRIER
A sound barrier includes panels comprising a polymeric material and reinforcing inserts encased within the polymeric material; and a frame comprising posts positioned in spaced, parallel relationship and extending vertically upward, and defining inwardly-facing slots for receiving the panels. The panels are mounted lengthwise with ends within the slots and adjacent panels engage each other by tongues and grooves of lateral surfaces. Methods of making the sound barrier are provided.
TEMPORARY NOISE POLLUTION INTERRUPTION WALL SYSTEM AND METHOD
A noise barrier system and method for quickly and modularly installing or erecting a temporary sound interruption wall. The system can include one or more panels each, a leveling bracket adjustably mountable to a support member, a clamping bracket for mounting a panel to a support member, a double clamping bracket for clamping a pair of panels together and mounting them to a support member, and a panel clamp for clamping a pair of panels together. The leveling bracket can include a support wall to support portions of adjacent panels, and an arm for removably securing to a flange of the support member. The panel clamp, the clamping bracket and the double clamping bracket can each include open channel configuration configured to receive a single portion of a panel or portions of pair panels, and a slidably adjustable clip for securing the portion of the panels therein.
HIGHWAY SOUND BARRIER SYSTEM
A highway sound barrier system that uses a plurality of foam panels that are joined with an upright member assembly. The foam panels use a foam core and exterior weather protection compounds allowing the system to dramatically reduce transportation, handling and installation costs while increasing the lifecycle of the barrier system and reducing long term maintenance requirements. Moreover, the foam panels include rotatable joints allowing the wall to be easily adjusted to facilitate various landscape parameters and provide for rapid construction.
CABLE SAFETY FENCE WITH NOISE ABSORBING PANEL
A cable road safety fence for installation at a lateral or median side of a road has a series of spaced apart upright posts, and a plurality of tensioned cables provided at different levels on and supported by said posts. At least one noise absorbing panel is mounted onto the cables with at least two mounting points, said points being at different levels.
PROTECTION DEVICE AND ROAD BARRIER FOR MOTORCYCLISTS
A protection device (5a) for motorcyclists, adapted to be secured to a road safety barrier (1) with a plurality of poles (3) regularly spaced out, the protection device (5a) including a longitudinal beam (6a) and a spacer (7a) extending longitudinally alongside the rear side of at least one part of the beam (6a) and adapted to be secured to the poles, wherein the beam (6a) and the spacer (7a) are assembled together so as to define, in the part of the beam, a longitudinal damping volume (V) with a closed cross-section.
Impact absorbing traffic noise barrier system
Disclosed is an impact resistant traffic noise barrier system. The system includes a traffic barrier that is designed to be placed adjacent a roadway and next to a flow of traffic. The design and weight of the traffic barrier permit it to withstand a variety of vehicle impacts. As part of the system, a sound wall is installed along the top of the traffic barrier. The sound wall includes a series of beams that are secured to the traffic barrier via anchor plates. Acoustic panels are secured between adjacent beams. An anchor cable extends from an anchor post, to a first post, and along a number of intermediate posts. The anchor cable is thus suspended above the traffic barrier with the anchor cable being connected to the beams. As such, the anchor cable suspends the beams in the event they become separated from the traffic barrier.
