San Bernardino Airport Noise

 

The Noise Problem

San Bernardino Airport Noise – GQ Aviation Engineering disassembles aircraft for parts and components at the San Bernardino Airport. These processes create a lot of noise and GQ Aviation needed something to reduce that noise. They hired the Crown Fence Company to build a noise barrier fence. Luis Vasquez, the project manager for Crown Fence then contacted Acoustiblok to determine the best way to deal with the noise problem.

The Solution

Luis Vasquez, and his foreman Hector Vasquez, lead the team that constructed the fence requested by GQ. Acoustiblok recommended a double chain linked fence, which Crown installed. They mounted the Acoustifence outdoor barrier material on the first fence and then put the second fence in position. The double fence gives extra security and can easily withstand high winds while keeping out blowing sand, dirt and dust.

The Result

Luis said, “The client was very happy. The fence was easy to install and my Acoustiblok consultant was both knowledgeable and helpful. We highly recommend Acoustifence for outdoor noise and are going to be installing more at the San Bernardino Airport, for the second phase of the project.”

“When performing the type of operations that GQ Aviation Engineering does, businesses must adhere to local noise and vibration ordinances. There is no requirement to put up an acoustical fence, but businesses often make the decision to install a noise barrier to maintain good relations with the surrounding community; they want to be good neighbors,” said Lahnie Johnson, president and founder of Acoustiblok Inc.
