NOISE FENCES
Noise from surface operations can be reduced
These days, airport ground operations are getting slower and busier, with more noise coming from things like aircraft movement and extended APU use. All of this adds up to a lot of noise around the airport.
To help with that, we use smart, custom-designed fences that block and reduce noise in several ways—using strong shapes, special sound-absorbing materials, and carefully crafted acoustic chambers. These fences are tailored to each airport’s unique needs, like its layout, nearby buildings, aircraft types, and even local temperatures and terrain.
Unlike traditional dirt mounds or basic walls, which are often too short and let sound waves pass over the top, our fences are precisely engineered for maximum noise protection. That means nearby communities can enjoy a quieter, more peaceful environment—without being disrupted by airport activity.

Each fence is built with a special mix of materials and technology to match the noise challenges of its location. It's not a one-size-fits-all solution—because every airport is different. That’s why we carefully adjust each design to make sure it delivers the best noise control possible. We understand that managing noise is a big investment, so we make every fence count.
Some airports choose soil barriers with plants to reduce noise, and while that might seem like a good idea, it doesn’t always work in practice. Jet engines create powerful sound waves that can bounce and travel over these barriers. Plus, plant-covered barriers are better suited for bird-friendly spaces—not busy airports.
Since safety and sustainable operations are critical, these natural barriers aren’t the smartest choice for handling aircraft noise.
From data to design—noise control done right.
We start on-site, gathering real data. Then our experts dive into advanced simulations to fine-tune every detail. The result? A precision-engineered noise barrier custom-built for performance and impact.
We learn the best ideas by watching how nature works
Jet engines produce extremely powerful sound waves. These waves don’t just travel straight—they bounce, reflect, and bend, and can easily pass over standard fences because of their high energy and amplitude. That’s why generic noise barriers just don’t cut it at airports.
Now, here’s where custom design and engineered technology come in:
-
Tailored Height and Shape:
Standard fences might be too short. Custom noise fences are designed with the right height, angle, and curvature to help deflect and block sound in the right directions. -
Smart Materials:
Special acoustic materials are used that can absorb, not just block, sound waves. These materials reduce the strength of the noise rather than bouncing it back. -
Built-in Chambers and Layers:
Advanced barriers often include layers or hollow chambers that trap sound inside, break it down, and keep it from moving forward. -
Site-Specific Engineering:
Every airport has different conditions—aircraft types, ground elevation, distances from communities, and weather. Experts run simulations and study onsite data to custom-tune the design for maximum noise reduction.
In short, a noise fence for airport operations isn’t just a wall—it’s a precision-made system, designed by experts who understand both acoustics and engineering. When done right, it protects nearby communities while helping airports run more smoothly and sustainably.
