Acoustic Fencing from Modular Wall Systems

Acoustic Solutions for Child Care Facilities
Boulevard Early Learning Centre Mt Warren Park, QLD
Challenge
With changes in regulations, local councils are imposing strict acoustic
guidelines on Child Care Centres across Australia. The Boulevard Early
Learning Centre at Mt Warren Park, QLD, found itself in such a situation
recently. Located amidst a residential housing area, the centre required
an acoustic barrier to shield local residents from the play ground noise.
In addition, the childcare centre consisted of two buildings with separate
outdoor play facilities and verandahs for each - both of which were
situated next to busy main roads. Hence, the solution also needed to
ensure the children's safety from the surrounding busy roads. Another
key requirement was fast installation so that the child care centre could
become operational.
Solution
The Slimwall™ panel fencing system was deemed suitable for the needs
of this project. Incorporating the AcoustiMax™ 50 panels, SlimWall™
has proven noise reduction qualities of 20 +dB. In addition, the simplicity
of design also allows for quick and easy construction. Two sections of
SlimWall™ measuring 1.5m high by 52m length and 1.5m high by 68m in
length were installed in just 4 days.

Acoustic Qualities
All Modular Wall Systems products have acoustic properties
and are National Acoustic Lab tested and rated with reflective
panels achieving a 20+ dBA improvement and absorption panels
exceeding a Noise Reduction Coefficient (NRC) of 0.9.
