Holgate - M50 Concrete Noise Barrier
Tuesday, 24 November 2009 00:00

Holgate - M50 Concrete Noise Barrier Awarded

Holgate has commenced the installation of the second concrete noise barrier system for the Irish network. The work commenced on the M1 end of the M50 and consists of a kilometer of the ‘Durisol’ concrete noise wall supplied from Durisol Holland.

The barrier is made up of a reinforced concrete core, with a composite of timber and bonding concrete at the front face which acts as an absorbent layer. Holgate is currently installing 30,000 sq/m of timber noise barrier on the M50 which is due for completion early next year.

The use of Durisol represents an important development as it set the bar in terms of high performance and durability for the market.

Elsewhere on the M50, Holgate is currently accelerating the works on the mainline for completion by Christmas. The remainder of the project will be completed in 2010 which will mainly focus on link roads and interchanges.
