North America’s First MASH TL-5 Integrated Noise Barrier System

Published: November 7, 2025Updated: February 9, 2026

This groundbreaking innovation offers unparalleled protection for both motorists and surrounding communities, addressing critical transportation challenges with a seamlessly integrated noise and traffic barrier solution.

“EKHO Infrastructure Solutions is pleased to expand its precast safety portfolio with a new crash-rated barrier system that responds directly to current roadway performance demands,” said Michael Pruden, Director of Sales, EKHO Infrastructure Solutions. “The system delivers effective noise mitigation while significantly reducing vehicle departures and limiting deflection during impact, including heavy transport vehicles. Its integrated design offers a highly versatile solution for transportation agencies and design teams focused on safety, durability, and performance.” This rise in ground transportation emphasizes the need for enhanced road safety measures to manage higher traffic and ensure safer conditions for all.

Unmatched Safety.

Engineered to meet the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) MASH TL-5 test level requirements, the TL-5 noise barrier system has undergone rigorous crash testing, proving its ability to withstand impacts from heavy vehicles, including full tractor-trailers. By effectively redirecting vehicles upon impact, this system enhances roadway safety and reduces the severity of accidents when they do occur.

Developed in partnership with REBLOC, a global leader in precast concrete vehicle restraint systems, the TL-5 system is completely modular and was designed with end users in mind.

“Together, we strive to push boundaries by delivering innovative, integrated noise barrier solutions. These slim and advanced systems are set to gain strong market acceptance, and we are excited about the opportunities ahead.” Mathias Redlberger, CEO, REBLOC Group.

Versatile, Space-Saving, and Foundation-Free 

Designed for highway and roadway noise walls, this system is ideal for: 

  • Clear zone applications where space is limited 
  • Center medians, reducing noise on both sides of the roadway 
  • Temporary projects, thanks to its foundationless advantage 

With its unparalleled safety performance, noise reduction capabilities, and flexible design, the new MASH TL-5 Crash-Tested Noise Barrier System is set to redefine transportation infrastructure. The future of roadway safety is now.
