Construction doesn’t always happen during standard business hours. In many cities, critical infrastructure upgrades, transit development, and urban renewal projects take place at night to reduce daytime congestion. However, this introduces a serious challenge: noise control. A construction site fence with sound-baffled privacy covers is the most effective solution for minimizing acoustic disruption while maintaining jobsite safety and privacy.
Urban authorities across the U.S., Canada, Europe, and Australia now require night-working contractors to implement physical sound buffers, especially near hospitals, schools, and dense residential zones. According to ISO 15665 standards, properly baffled enclosures can attenuate noise by over 20 dB(A), reducing exposure to unacceptable sound levels.
As part of the Sydney Metro rail extension, contractors performed trenching and platform work during night hours for over 6 months. After just two weeks, city council began receiving formal complaints about loud equipment and flashing lights.
The project team installed our modular sound-baffled fencing panels around key generator and trench zones. Noise readings dropped from 84 dB to 66 dB at the closest residential edge. This enabled continued 10PM–6AM work approvals throughout the project. Read more: Transit Zone Noise Case Study.
Our fencing does more than just reduce sound:
🎧 Absorbs high- and low-frequency construction noise
🧱 Creates total privacy—blocks 100% line-of-sight
🌡️ Stabilizes microclimates inside dust-sensitive work zones
🔧 Enables logo branding, community signage, or QR code info boards
The sound baffles are installed inside the fence panels, using fire-rated, water-resistant materials rated for up to 7 years of outdoor use. They comply with ASTM E90 for transmission loss and ASCE jobsite standards for barrier design.
Height: 2.0–2.4 meters
Frame: Galvanized steel or aluminum, powder coated
Baffle Core: HD composite foam, waterproof membrane wrapped
Visual Finish: Matte black or printed privacy mesh
Mounting: Concrete base, bolted footplate, or scaffold tie-in

Sound-baffled fencing isn't just for permanent projects. Pop-up retail builds, music festival infrastructure, and sports venue upgrades also benefit. During the 2024 Formula E street circuit installation in Singapore, contractors used our panels to contain generator and lift noise while keeping sponsor branding highly visible.

| Fence Type | Sound Reduction | Line-of-Sight Block | Reusable | Ideal For |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chain-Link + Mesh | Low (<3 dB) | Partial | Yes | Short-term, low-density |
| Plywood Wall | Medium (6–8 dB) | Yes | No | One-time builds |
| Sound-Baffled Privacy Fence | High (10–20+ dB) | Yes | Yes | Urban + Nighttime Use |
A Norwegian general contractor was tasked with retrofitting an emergency wing while the hospital remained open. Heavy drilling and HVAC work had to continue overnight. After initial barriers failed to prevent noise complaints, the firm installed our full-wrap sound-baffled perimeter system. Patients reported improved sleep, and hospital management avoided media scrutiny or forced schedule changes.
