Get Superior Noise Reduction
PLYWALL® Noise Barriers offer an effective, durable, and budget-friendly noise control solution to high noise levels from the road to the job site, and everywhere in between.
A PLYWALL® system
PlywallPRECAST® precast noise barrier
When the project calls for concrete, get it from the same team that engineers, fabricates and installs Plywall® and PlywallPVC® — one name, one contract, one crew.
Why PlywallPRECAST®
The only soundwall company with wood, PVC and precast
Some specs call for wood. Some call for vinyl. Some call for concrete. PLYWALL® is the only soundwall company that offers a pre-engineered wood, PVC and precast noise barrier system — so you can match the barrier to the site without changing contractors.
- Sound rating of STC 48 (ASTM E90/E413)
- Reflective or absorptive barrier performance
- Panels in 8, 12 and 16 ft widths with unlimited heights (certain wind-load limitations apply)
- Factory clear sealant or solid color from the 48-color deck
- No routine maintenance required
- 20-year warranty and a 40+ year service life
- Engineered to your site’s wind loading, soils and height, with shop drawings and calcs
- Fabricated and installed by our own crews under one contract, direct to owner, developer or GC
- Soundwall and retaining wall combined as one in-house scope — no sleeve contractor
- Mix systems on one project: precast where it is needed, Plywall® or PlywallPVC® elsewhere
