Noise Walls
RK&K has significant expertise in the design and implementation of noise walls, which are critical for mitigating noise impacts associated with transportation projects. The firm has been involved in various projects that require the assessment and design of noise barriers to address community concerns regarding traffic and construction noise.
Our noise analysis team employs advanced modeling techniques, such as the Federal Highway Administration’s Traffic Noise Model (TNM), to evaluate existing noise environments and predict future noise levels. We assess the feasibility of noise abatement measures, including the geometric layout of sound barriers, and prepare aesthetic analyses to ensure that the designs are not only functional but also visually acceptable to the community. RK&K’s commitment to thorough noise assessments and community engagement has established the firm as a leader in noise wall design and implementation across various transportation projects.
