IAC sound barriers for California light rail transit line

Bronx, NY (July 20) - - IAC America has just completed fabrication and installation of a steel Soundwall along part of a light rail transit line in California.

The Pasadena metro gold Line is approximately 13 miles long and extends from Union Station in the city of Los Angeles to Sierra Madre Villa Boulevard in the city of Pasadena.

“After years of litigation it is great to see that this beautiful community will be a quieter place,” says IAC technical sales representative, Gus Sauter of CE Pickup Company.

The project comprises more than 1200 IAC Noishield® FS barrier panels. Each 5”-thick panel is self-draining and the absorptive side is rated MRC 1.05. The rugged panels are easy to install and available in 24” and 18” heights and in sections up to 16-feet long. The panels endure a five-step cleaning process before being factory finished with a tough, thermosetting polyester powder coat available in hundreds of colors and patterns, many of which simulate wood and brick.

The panels, although fabricated in steel, are actually lighter and easier to install than traditional wood and concrete barriers and are ideal for ground, bridges, and rooftop community noise control applications.

The second phase of the design build Soundwall enhancement project is now underway and completion is planned for year end.
