ACUSTRAIN: Acoustic mini-barriers to revitalise urban environments

ACUSTRAIN is made up of a team of promoters that brings together the research and development and industrial capabilities required to respond to the need to create noise-free and friendly environments. This need affects 6% of the European population.

This company manufactures and installs a modular product: a low-height acoustic barrier that can be adapted to any environment. The absorbent and reflective materials on which it is developed, shaped into specific geometries, create a low-height, modular and self-supporting design, suitable to last for years without degradation or maintenance.

The patented ACUSTRAIN system does not require foundations and can be braced either horizontally and vertically. It also complies with railway legislation applicable to elements that are placed close to the tracks.

ACUSTRAIN has a first installation at Ermua station (ETS).

Its market size is several billion euros in the European Union, of which €350 billion are allocated to Spain.

It meets the needs of:

• Railway managers
• Engineering firms
• Infrastructure consultancy firms
• Builders / maintainers
• Neighbourhood associations
• City Councils / Public Administration
