Acousticabs Industrial Noise Control Ltd
SPS is an easily erected and effective acoustic barrier system for screening around exterior noise sources. SPS acoustic screens are suitable for the control of many types of environmental noise. Typical applications range from long runs at road or rail side, to rooftop noise screens around ventilation plant. SPS panels consist of a high density lamella acoustic core with a bonded surface of perforated and plain powder-coated steel. The perforated, sound absorbing side faces the noise source giving significantly better performance than a sound reflective barrier.
There are two version of SPS panels:
- SPS/H designed for horizontal or vertical installation.
- SPS/H panels are available in 50 or 80mm thickness.
SPS/H panels are manufactured with a tongue and groove edge detail. For large installations – such as road barriers – panels span horizontally between structural posts. For smaller applications – such as rooftop screens – panels are slotted together vertically against structural post and rail type supports. This is similar to SPS/V support arrangements.
SPS/V panels are designed for vertical installation.
The primary use of SPS/V panels is as a very adaptable acoustic barrier around plant areas. SPS/V panels are supplied with clip joints for the long sides, and are designed for vertical installation with support steelwork. Roof top screens are normally attached to existing structures – details vary accordingly. Where mechanical fixing into structural elements is not possible, screens can be provided with a free standing frame arrangement. The frames incorporate concrete paving ballast to suit site conditions, wind loadings etc.
