Noise barriers Noise barriers consist of the erection of reflective or absorbent acoustical screening to reduce nuisance from noise. Due to the divergence in performance requirements and specification for various locations it is not practical to state all inclusive unit costs. Therefore advice should be sought from Specialist Contractors in order to obtain accurate costings. However listed below are examples of sample specification together with approximate costings in order to obtain budget prices. Note: The following unit costs are based upon a 2.0m high barrier

Noise reflective barriers Barrier with architectural precast concrete panels and integral posts – – – – m² 165.49 Barrier with acoustical timber planks post support system – – – – m² 149.85
