Council plans for a Bupa Aged Care facility along the busy Princes Highway originally suggested timber fencing. However, this was quickly deemed unsuitable due to the high traffic noise and unappealing veneer. Therefore, more robust acoustic solutions were needed, and ModularWalls was able to deliver.
Bupa sought a more aesthetically pleasing solution to match the prestigious image of their premier facility and quickly settled upon the VogueWall, which utilises the 75mm AcoustiMax panel. ModularWalls worked closely with Bupa, the local council and Taylor Constructions to design a wall that blended with the surrounding landscape and carefully navigated between the existing trees with a preservation order. The minimal impact design of the ModularWalls post footing was a perfect fit for this application.
Then to enhance the natural landscape “feel” of the wall, setback bays were installed every nine metres and a designer-series stone cladding was applied. The final touch included painting in “Iron Stone” and a non-sacrificial anti-graffiti top coat to ensure a sophisticated finish for the acoustic solutions that will last many years.
