As part of their I-16 / I-75 Interchange Improvement project, the City of Macon requested that the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) supply a transparent noise barrier for a bridge along the interchange. The bridge runs over a river, so maintaining views was important.

Engineering a Transparent Barrier
EKHO designed and supplied a structure-mounted noise barrier with our next generation of aluminum framed Transparent Ready-Fit Panels that were more cost effective for this project. The acrylic panels were 18mm thick Transparent Noise Barriers and spanned a total of 9,150 square feet on one side of the bridge.
As part of the project, the EKHO's team detailed a new wall anchoring process. The solution cast an anchor plate within the barrier making connection easy at the point of installation where anchors could be installed after the barrier was cast.
Partnering on Installation
We worked with Tricor Construction on installation of the wall. Bill Cheek, VP at Tricor shared that: “Tricor was happy to partner with EKHO on one of their first transparent applications in Georgia.”
