Rail construction & development

Our modular, lightweight barrier walls are designed to reduce and manage noise emissions created by rail infrastructure

If you run or manage a project within the rail industry, you are most likely aware of your obligations to adhere to noise management policies. In Australia, many laws, rules and regulations require rail corridors to install noise barriers that provide the necessary sound attenuation required to keep communities at peace.

Noise barriers in the rail industry must reduce and manage noise created by:

  • trains travelling railway tracks
  • ongoing maintenance noise
  • railway construction noise, ongoing or ad hoc.

In addition to reducing and managing noise, barriers must blend in with the surrounding aesthetic of neighbouring communities, be built to last and, in many cases, be graffiti-resistant to allow for ease of ongoing maintenance.

Wallmark’s commercial and residential acoustic panel fencing systems are recognised for

  • Exceptional sound reduction properties that solve noise issues
  • Pre-engineered modular fence panels and walls that are made to height and wind rating specifications
  • Cost effective alternatives to expensive rendered block wall systems without compromising aesthetics
  • Smart modular fence designs ensure minimal site disruption and quick hassle free installation – easy DIY

If you work in rail construction or development, it’s your duty to reduce and manage noise pollution, and it’s our job to deliver the solutions that help you to make that happen.

Tested to meet Australian engineering standards, our modular barrier systems have been specifically designed to successfully manage unwanted noise created by wheels touching metal tracks and train engines within rail corridors.

Not only have our products been approved by the National Association of Testing Authorities (NATA), our reflective noise walls also boast an acoustic rating of RW28 and our absorptive walls an NRC rating of 0.95. These superior acoustic qualities make our solutions the go to choice for many companies who work in the Australian civil infrastructure sector.

Easy-to-install, lightweight and long lasting, many of our modular solutions can also be installed using pier footings, eliminating the need to carefully navigate underground services and systems—an approach that ultimately leads to less site disruption and faster project timelines.

About Us Body Image
Why work with Wallmark to manage road noise emissions?

Minimise noise pollution to comply with legal obligations

Wallmark noise barriers can be easily installed close within rail corridors—with pier footings, if required—to better reflect noise near to its source. When positioned as such, our walls offer exceptional, NATA approved acoustic properties that help to harness and contain noise emissions created by both low and high levels of railway traffic.

Create a custom barrier system that covers all bases

Pre-engineered to up to 12m, and resistant to cyclonic winds up to region C, our modular systems can be custom-designed to meet the greater heights rail sites require, and pre-tailored to adhere to your region’s wind ratings. This design ingenuity allows you to install your solution with greater speed and ease.

Stay compliant with work health and safety acts

In the rail industry, there are always rules and regulations that need to be followed to ensure the safety of workers and the general public. That’s why we’re committed to working flexible hours to comply with your site’s safety policy. Whether you need to respect environmental management systems or adhere to work health and safety standards, we’re on board to align with protocol.

Get a cost-effective solution that’s built to last

At Wallmark, we offer cost effective alternatives to expensive rendered block wall systems, allowing you to keep to your project’s budget without having to compromise on the acoustic quality of your risk management solutions. Better yet, our products are fully certified by structural engineers and boast a long-lasting, 50-year service life.
Our top choice for reducing and managing noise emissions that radiate from rail corridors

Dunewall noise barrier

Known for their superior sound reduction qualities, Dunewall systems are often installed as rail corridor barriers as they can be pre-engineered to heights of up to 12 metres. Dunewall’s smart noise reduction system can also be easily customised to provide not only acoustic protection, but also dust protection, making it an ideal choice for rail corridors that are exposed to the elements. If security is a concern, Dunewall systems can also be modified to include spikes or razor wire holders.
