Noise Barrier Panels for the F-35 Campus
IAC Acoustics has been responsible for supplying more than 6,700 m2 of noise barrier panels for the F-35 Campus in Skrydstrup.
Part of the F-35 Campus Project
IAC Acoustics has been one of the selected suppliers of noise barriers for the F-35 Campus project by The Danish Ministry of Defence Estate Agency. The newly constructed F-35 Campus is used daily by Fighter Wing Skrydstrup and forms the setting for Denmark’s new F-35 fighter jets. The building complex is enclosed by a 13-meter high noise-dampening structure, where the lower half is an earthen embankment and the upper part consists of noise barriers.
Noise Barriers at the F-35 Campus Hangars
IAC Acoustics was engaged in the project to provide noise barriers around the open hangar structures where the new F-35 fighter jets will be stored, maintained, and repaired. IAC Acoustics was responsible for supplying more than 6,700 square meters of noise barrier panels—both single-sided and double-sided sound-absorbing panels, which are placed on top of the established noise embankments.
Blocking Deep Tones and Absorbing Low-Frequency Noise
The noise barrier panels are made of heavy steel plates to ensure that, with increased weight and density, the noise barrier can better block deep tones and low-frequency noise, which a regular noise barrier panel can only reduce to a limited extent. Additionally, the selected noise barrier panels have exceptionally high sound absorption values, in both the high-frequency and low-frequency noise spectra.
The significant mass and high sound absorption values make this noise barrier an excellent choice for noise screening around the F-35 Campus.
The noise barrier panels are made from galvanized steel plates with an exceptionally thick zinc coating, which is directly connected to the robust hot-dip galvanized steel pillars. This connection of steel plus zinc to steel plus zinc creates a maintenance-free, corrosion-resistant surface designed to last over 25 years in a C3 environment.
