As you navigate through the Orlando area, you can’t help but notice the sound and privacy walls. Today highway sound barrier walls are responsible for keeping road noise from bothering neighboring business and residential homes, while adding aesthetics to the environment. These walls were not always very attractive, the new generation of walls has sophisticated designs and textures.
Precast concrete walls have quickly become the leading choice for highway barriers. This advanced technology has led the way to realistic natural rock with quality details, seamless finish on both the front and back, including around columns.
With a variety of warm colors and textures to choose from, the quality and durable precast concrete walls don’t need refinishing and stay beautiful for decades.
Adjoining properties can also enjoy the benefits with the double sided design feature.
“Precast concrete highway barriers are the go-to product for vehicular and construction worker safety, in addition to building security. Precast concrete barriers have the unique ability to not only realign stray vehicles but also reduce their speed. Upon impact, precast concrete barriers partially lift the stray vehicle off the pavement, which decreases the lateral resistance force between tires and pavement. Precast barriers can be installed in permanent or temporary applications.” according to the National Precast Concrete Association.
