The project involved the installation of a timber sound barrier wall along the boundary separating the Royal Botanical Gardens (RBG) from the Cahill Expressway. The objective was to reduce traffic noise pollution into the Royal Botanical Gardens.
Integral aspects of the project are as follows;
- Installation of timber walls (4.5m high and approx. 400m long);
- Drilling & Installation of supporting piers;
- Protective Coating of installed timber walls;
- Restorative Work - Asphalting, Kerbing, Guttering
