Businesses need to grow to stay ahead, and renovation works are a great way to bring a new lease of life to commercial buildings – but they shouldn’t stop you from keeping your doors open. Thanks to Echo Barrier, businesses can enjoy a continuous cash flow, no matter the level of works.
From shops to hotels and malls to airports, renovation works can force buildings to close, causing both disruption to visitors and a financial hit to businesses. But it doesn’t have to be that way.
Be they run-of-the-mill maintenance, or a significant redevelopment, Echo Barrier’s range of portable acoustic solutions can be the difference between shutting the world away or letting daily life continue with minimal disruption.
Interior noise solutions
Noise barriers aren’t just made for the outside world. Echo Barrier offers a range of acoustic solutions also designed to be used indoors.
From our high-performance H-Series™ of panels to our cutting stations and enclosures, all our products are designed to provide effective noise reduction and protection from dust and debris while minimising disruption.
These products could be used while new parts of your building are being constructed, while major redevelopment works take place, or to zone off work areas of any size and scale. No matter the project, Echo Barrier is here to help keep your business operational.
Safety
Sound doesn’t just cause temporary headaches. Continuous exposure to high levels of sound can lead to significant health issues, such as long-term cardio-vascular diseases.
Every business has a responsibility to keep both its customers and its staff safe from harm.
Echo Barrier is the market leader in noise abatement solutions, helping reduce sound energy by as much as 99%.
Such drastic reductions in sound won’t only have a positive effect on visitors to your buildings, but also your own staff and construction workers alike.
What’s more, our enclosures also provide added physical safety to your customers by providing an effective barrier to noise and flying debris.
Using Echo Barrier products will also help to adhere to council health & safety and noise regulations, ensuring you will not be hit by any fines during your work.
Dust
While tackling noise pollution is of utmost importance, the issue of dusts and associated safety risks cannot be overlooked.
Exposure to construction dust can aggravate asthma and lead to diseases such as lung cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and silicosis.
Echo Barrier products help facilitate extractions from cutting and drilling operations, keeping dust locked in a worksite area and preventing it from flowing towards unprotected customers.
The consequences of not tackling noise pollution
Local authorities don’t quiet down when it comes to noise. Councils can impose requirements to minimise noise under the Control of Pollution Act 1974 – restricting working hours or allowing fines of up to £20,000 for companies who do not comply.
Both they and the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) can even stop works in their tracks altogether.
One way around this is to close your doors to the public and protect them from the harmful risks associated with your works. But that brings with it a huge cut to revenue streams.
Echo Barrier’s products allow you to keep your doors open. Our products are trusted worldwide and their use showcases a business’ commitment to keeping people safe.
