RMP Recycled Noise Barriers

Rotationally moulded noise barrier elements made from recycled polyethylene. Every element can be produced reflecting or absorbing, in any RAL colour, for road, rail, industrial and logistics projects. Produced in Europe, possibly in your own home country.

Designed for Total Installed Value

Made From Recycled Plastic

Up to 80% recycled polyethylene in production, and 100% recyclable after functional use. Local waste streams become long-life infrastructure.

Easier to Install

14 to 25 kg/m² means lighter posts and foundations, fewer transport movements and no crane on many sites. Each of those drives total installed value.

Low EPD and 50+ Year Design Life

Graffiti resistant and colour stable, with a 50 to 100 year design life and no maintenance programme. Environmental documentation where available.

Two Acoustic Variants, One System

Every element can be produced reflecting or absorbing from the same mould. The absorbing build adds an open face and mineral wool core; the outside looks the same.

Noise Reflecting

Noise Reflecting

DLR 30 to 36 dB. A closed double wall that returns sound to the source side, for sites where absorption is not required.

Noise Absorbing

Noise Absorbing

DLα 6 to 12 dB and DLR 30 to 36 dB. An absorbing face on any design, for reflective sites such as parallel barriers and cuttings.

Design Range

Twelve current moulds. Every design can be produced reflecting or absorbing, in any RAL colour. Select a design to enlarge it; dimensions, post spacing and mounting profiles are in the comparison below. Four further concepts are in development: High-Speed Rail, Solar, Urmond and Leaf.

Testing and Standards

Each row opens to the method, criterion and result. Full reports on request.

Sound absorption and airborne sound insulation tested to EN 1793-1, -2, -4, -5 and -6, with EN 16272 for railway applications. ASTM E90 and C423 results available for comparison.

Measured on site: DLα in situ 6.1 to 6.2 dB; DLSI 27.8 to 30 dB.

Impact resistance to EN 1794-1 Annex C at 1000 J. Wind and dynamic loads designed to EN 1990 and EN 1991; post spacing and profile per design, see Compare Designs.

ASTM G154 UV exposure, D6944 thermal cycling, B117 salt fog and G21 organic growth. Colour and surface stable through the design life.

Tested to EN 1794-2 and EN 1794-3. Classification confirmed per project with the current test report.

Up to 80% recycled polyethylene in production depending on specification; 100% recyclable after functional use. Environmental documentation where available.

Production and sustainability

From Waste Stream to Noise Barrier

Local single-use plastic is collected, processed and rotationally moulded into hollow, double-walled elements. Produced in Europe, possibly in your own home country. Recycled content, environmental documentation and design life are the proof points, not the slogan.
