Sound Barrier Fencing Columbia, SC

When clients contact us about sound abatement fencing in Columbia, SC, we start the process by visiting your property for an in-depth noise analysis and site survey. Our team of qualified specialists will:

Measure Noise Levels from Problem Sources

Using advanced acoustic equipment and analysis methods, we’ll first measure baseline decibel readings from any noise pollution sources impacting your property. This gives us a precise benchmark to understand what level of sound reduction is required.

Evaluate Your Property Layout and Dimensions

Next, our team will complete a full site analysis of your landscape to map out exact property boundaries, terrain, existing structures/features, etc. This allows us to design a customized barrier that perfectly fits your space.

Identify Challenges or Obstacles

We’ll also pinpoint potential construction challenges like underground utilities, building setback requirements, HOA regulations, easements, or overhead obstructions that could impact your sound wall installation. Addressing these proactively ensures an efficient building process.

Consult on Fence Design Factors

Finally, we’ll discuss various acoustic fence options to match your noise issues, budget, aesthetics, and other needs. Key considerations include fence height, post spacing, materials used, etc. Our experts will provide science-backed guidance to design your ideal noise barrier.

After thoroughly evaluating your landscape and sound concerns, we’ll propose the optimal sound blocking fence design, materials, and installation plan for your review.

Provide a Precise Project Estimate

Once our noise survey and on-site analyses are complete, we prepare an accurate written estimate detailing all project deliverables, products to be used, total costs, and projected timeline from permitting to installation completion. This estimate ensures full pricing transparency before signing a contract.

Secure Permits for the Fence Build

With your approval, we handle permitting requirements with your HOA or local municipal offices on your behalf, submitting all necessary paperwork, drawings, fees, etc. to gain legal approval for the sound barrier construction. Our permitting expertise expedites approval.

Schedule Site Preparation and Material Delivery

After securing permits, we schedule any necessary tree/brush removal, grading, post hole digging, or other prep work to clear a path for your new noise reduction fence. We also order/ship all essential supplies and building materials to your location to prepare for fast assembly.

Dig Post Holes and Set Fence Posts

Once prep work is complete, our professional crew will dig properly spaced post holes (per fence design) using an auger, then plant and set the fence posts in concrete to create a solid framework for structural integrity. For sound walls, we use heavy metal posts.

Add Framing and Sound Diffusing Panels

With posts erected, we construct each fence section by attaching horizontal and vertical framing between posts, using sturdy boards, seismic bracing, and galvanized brackets secured in concrete. Next we mount specially engineered sound absorbing fence panels layered with noise blocking materials like recycled plastic, acoustical insulation, vibration dampeners, etc. depending on product type.

Include Additional Buffer Materials

For added noise cancellation ability, our crews will integrate extra sound diffusing materials like mineral wool insulation, acoustical membranes/films, mass loaded vinyl sheets, noise barrier wraps, or custom modifications to enhance the fence’s acoustic rating even further by up to 10dB.

Complete and Inspect Final Assembly

To finish, we’ll make any last adjustments to ensure precise alignment, a smooth surface, and strict adherence to fence height regulations. Then we perform multiple quality control checks through each stage of the installation process to guarantee your complete satisfaction.

Provide Ongoing Maintenance and Service

While our proprietary fencing products are low-maintenance by design, we also offer upkeep services like power washing, graffiti removal, damage repair, reinforcement, or realignments over time due to settling soil or extreme weather. Just contact us for any issues!
