Modular acoustic noise barrier fence by TITAN-TATRAPLAST

WAF Noise Barrier/ Acoustic Fencing

The system is available in WAF.260, WAF.400 and WAF.260 + PC variants with a transparent polycarbonate sheet; system doors or a gate/ double gate can be integrated into the fence.

The system underwent testing in the acoustic chamber of the Building Research Institute (ITB), achieving a result of Rw = 25 dB (-1; -4). In practice, this means that noise from a busy road at a level of 70 dB drops to a level close to a quiet conversation.

Fence Panel Variants

• WAF.260
  9× 260 mm acoustic slat. The basic, fully enclosed variant with the highest proportion of sound-absorbing surface.
• WAF.400
  1× 260 mm slat + 5× 400 mm slat. The narrower slat is always installed at the very bottom. Fewer dividing joints, a calmer appearance.
• WAF.260 + PC
  5× 260 mm slat + 8 mm transparent polycarbonate sheet. Reduces noise while maintaining visibility and light transmission.

All variants have the same fence panel height of 2265 mm and a slat length of up to 2000 mm with a post centre-to-centre distance of 200 cm.

Installation in Three Stages

1. Preparation
Clearing the ground, setting out the fence line and drilling holes Ø 25–30 cm to a depth of 150 cm at a centre-to-centre distance of 200 cm.

2. Posts
Positioning the anchor posts in the centre of the holes, concreting (e.g. B25) with reinforcement cages, checking vertical alignment and a uniform top line, sliding the outer post into place.

3. Infill
Installing the bottom clips, inserting the slats from above, applying 3 mm acoustic tape to the contact edges, securing at the top and fitting post caps.

A detailed procedure, including details D/E/F, alternative anchoring to an existing foundation and shortening panels, can be found in the installation instructions.
