AT A GLANCE
The double-track coastal mountain line in Cinque Terre in Bonassola runs mainly on bridges through lower-lying coastal villages. As there is no spatial separation between the tracks and the villages, the railway noise spreads particularly strongly into those sections of the coast that are funnel-shaped.
The railway operator was therefore looking for a noise barrier that was compact, quick and easy to install and visually blended into the bridge structure of the line.
The decision was made in favour of the infill panel from STRAILastic. The railing infill panels have vulcanised fastening for mounting. This means that the STRAILastic_IP can be easily and quickly mounted on the railings provided. In the construction project in Cinque Terre, the infill panels were attached to the outside of the railings and the outside of the infill panels were equipped with printed panels in concrete look to match the bridges.
In this way, the infill panels blend in perfectly with the landscape and at the same time provide the necessary tranquillity in the coastal villages.
