An Alternative to Precast Highway Sound Barriers Provides Competitive Advantage to Contractors
Where precast would have taken a four-man crew three to four weeks to install, the same crew completed the Eco Sound Barrier installation in only five days.
Eric Klimas, project manager for Joseph B. Fay, believes Eco Sound Barrier could give the company a competitive advantage when bidding future highway projects.
Overall, both the PA Turnpike Commission and Joseph B. Fay feel the project was a complete success. And the residents of Enon Valley seem to be satisfied as well.
"Typically, if the people are happy, we don't hear from them," Scheurich says. "They only speak up if they're disappointed, and we haven't heard anything yet. So, I'm taking that as a good sign."
