Hushtec Transparent Acoustic Barriers Address Noise Control In Construction And Industrial Sectors
New Zealand-based noise control specialist Hushtec has announced the deployment of its acoustic barriers in a range of industrial and construction settings, aiming to address ongoing challenges around noise pollution and workplace safety. According to the company, its transparent noise barriers have been adopted in environments where visibility and light transmission are essential, such as factories, construction sites, and food processing plants. The barriers are designed to reduce noise emissions while allowing for clear sightlines and the passage of natural light, supporting both operational efficiency and compliance with health and safety regulations. Recent case studies highlight the role of Hushtec's solutions in large-scale urban construction projects, where noise from activities like pile driving, crane operation, and demolition can exceed regulatory limits and impact surrounding communities. In these contexts, the company's acoustic barriers have been used alongside other products, including modular noise walls and custom shrouds, to create flexible and effective noise management strategies. The company reports that its barriers are constructed from high-performance, transparent materials and can be customised to fit specific site requirements. This adaptability has proven valuable in projects that require both temporary and permanent installations. Hushtec's approach to heavy machinery noise control includes the use of shrouds and acoustic tents tailored to equipment such as cranes and pile drivers, reducing noise exposure for workers and minimising disruption to nearby residents and businesses. Hushtec states that all products are developed to meet or exceed local and international noise control standards. The company's transparent barriers are currently used across sectors including construction, manufacturing, healthcare, and food production, providing solutions for both regulatory compliance and operational needs.
