Cost-efficient all-round solution for construction projects

Foam materials improve noise protection and reduce maintenance costs

Lucerne / Düsseldorf, 24 October 2007 – Councils and local authorities are under great pressure when it comes to building or renovating major projects such as tunnels or tramlines. On the one hand, financial constraints demand low-cost solutions. On the other hand, all the materials and systems used have to comply with stringent safety requirements. What is more, such aspects as noise protection and subsequent maintenance costs also have to be taken into account. Sekisui Alveo, manufacturer of polyolefin foams, has developed highly efficient foam solutions for various major civil engineering projects. Their benefits include good noise and heat insulation that reduces the noise level and cuts maintenance costs. A further advantage is that the systems can be installed without great effort.
