Airport Noise Barriers / Acoustic Barriers for Airport Noise Control
IAC Global Aviation designs, manufactures and installs a complete range of certified, high performance acoustic barriers for airport noise control solutions. Our acoustic barriers are used by airports around the world to protect their local communities from unwanted aircraft noise.
IAC barriers offer differing levels of performance and aesthetic focus that all optimise sound transmission loss and sound transmission properties. Durable and aesthetically pleasing, they can carry a range of finishes.
IAC offer its customers a complete turnkey acoustic barrier solution. From initial acoustic mapping and analysis of an airport and sound attenuation requirements, IAC then recommend the correct barrier to meet the level of attenuation required.
IAC offer three barrier types, however Absorptive Freestanding Barrier Systems are the optimal choice for airport applications. These are sound absorptive on one or both sides and offer excellent sound transmission loss. They are quick to assemble and comprise of prefabricated components that are lighter and easier to install than concrete barriers.
Features & Benefits of IAC Aviation Barriers
The main benefits and features of IAC Global Aviation's acoustic barriers for airport noise control include:
- Proven, certified, sound transmission loss (Noise Reduction)
- Sound absorption to minimise reflected sound
- Tough, abuse-resistant steel/aluminium construction
- Weather-resistant, rust-proof, durable finishes which blend sympathetically with the surrounding landscape
- Assembled from prefabricated components for fast on-site installation
- Very low maintenance and easy to clean
- Structural steelwork included on request

In addition to Airport Acoustic Barriers, IAC Global Aviation also manufactures:
Reflective Acoustic Panels
These attach to existing walls and barriers. The sound absorptive cladding modules reduce reflected sound and are an effective method of reducing unwanted noise.
Louvred Screens
These provide highly effective, stylish acoustic screens and are recommended for screening noise from mechanical services plant. They are particularly suitable when ventilation air must pass freely through the barrier.
Acoustically efficient and aesthetically pleasing, all three types of IAC Acoustic Barriers are attractive solutions to airport noise pollution in a variety of settings.
