Sound Barrier Fencing Dearborn, MI

Installing an effective noise blocking fence solution requires strategic planning, precise material selection, and skilled installation. Here is an overview of our proven process for sound barrier fence construction around properties:

Initial Site Evaluation

The first step our fence installation team takes is a thorough site evaluation on location at your property. We assess the geography, take measurements, and determine the proximity to source(s) of noise that need blocking. This allows us to understand the positioning we need for optimal noise disruption and absorption placement when designing your custom sound barrier fence.

We also note any relevant factors on your property that could impact the fence construction – slopes, problem soils, drainage issues, underground pipes/wiring locations, permitting needs, and more. Getting a firm handle on the site layout sets the stage for engineering an optimized noise reducing fence solution.

Material Selection

With the site analysis complete, we move to planning out the best materials for effectively blocking sound. Key elements we consider include:

Fence Height: Taller barrier fences obviously disrupt noise paths more effectively than shorter options. We determine the appropriate height needed to properly deflect noise pollution coming from elevated roads, multi-story buildings, or raised sites.

Density & Weight: More mass and density in fence materials increase noise blocking capacity. We select the heaviest, most impenetrable materials that can stand up to your location’s wind load, soil, drainage factors, and other impacts.

Noise Absorption: Materials like acoustic foam panels, insulation, and other sound-dampening inclusions absorb noise vibrations rather than reflect them. We strategically engineer the best positions for absorbent materials within the fence construction.

Decoupling: Decoupled panels separated by vibration-isolating gaskets impede noise transfer rather than passing vibrations from panel to panel down the length of a fence. Our noise consultant determines optimal placement of decoupling within the barrier for better performance.

Durability: Sound barrier fences must withstand wind, moisture, soil contact, and elemental impacts while maintaining noise mitigating integrity. We only apply long-lasting, weather-resistant exterior construction materials to protect performance.

Custom Design Finalization

With all the site, material, positioning, and configuration factors assessed, our noise control specialist creates a customized sound barrier fence design plan tailored to your property’s unique specifications. This comprehensive project blueprint accounts for every aspect required to achieve substantial ambient noise reduction across your entire site requiring protection.

We fine-tune the custom sound barrier fence plan until it optimizes acoustic performance, visual appeal, security augmentation, durability, and ease of access to your property. The final plan undergoes stringent quality control review to verify completeness prior to moving forward with your noise blocking project.

Pre-Construction Preparation

With your property’s tailored noise control fence strategy fully designed, our team prepares the site for the customized barrier installation. This includes:

• Grade examination and soil density testing
• Demolition or removal of old fences or debris
• Footing and post hole digging
• Material transport and staging

We also submit permit applications to the city of Dearborn if required based on the project parameters. This prep work readies your property for rapid sound barrier fence construction and streamlined noise disruption.

Acoustic Fence Construction

With everything prepared beforehand, our skilled fence contractors can now efficiently build your noise-reducing barrier fence solution. We take care to construct in accordance with the engineered design and noise mitigating intent of the barrier. Robust posts, stringers, and footings support substantial noise blocking mass engineered into the fence panels and segments.

Strategic inclusion of sound dampening and absorbing materials within the construction occurs per the noise consultant’s specifications earlier in the design phase. The physical structure steadily takes shape day-by-day until your custom sound barrier fence is complete – blocking noise through impenetrable density, strategic material selections, and deliberate configuration tuning.

Noise Testing & Acoustic Adjustments

As the fence nears completion, our team conducts field noise testing by producing sound on one side of the barrier while measuring decibel levels on the opposite noise sensitive side. This testing verifies the design’s real-world acoustic performance.

If noise intrusion remains above target levels in testing, we adjust the construction as needed to refine the noise solution. Common adjustments include adding mass, tuning material positioning, increasing height, or inserting additional absorbent materials. The goal is to empirically validate the fence blocks undesired noise to comfortable background levels across the entire protected zone.

Project Wrap-Up & Follow-Up

To finish off your new sound barrier fencing installation project, our crew trims out the small details, hauls away construction debris, and performs a final site check for quality control. We also provide guidance for any protective fence maintenance needed to keep your acoustic barrier fence functioning as desired over many years of reliable noise protection.

As trusted local fence builders, Fence Company Dearborn stands behind our sound barrier fence work. If any issue arises with your noise blocking fence post-installation, we quickly repair concerns under our guarantee. We also offer sound barrier fence inspection, tuning, and refurbishment services to renew or upgrade acoustic performance for long-term noise blocking security.
