RAU Sanierung: renewing existing noise barriers economically

RAU Sanierung, our refurbishment system, brings older noise barriers up to date technically and visually without replacing the entire supporting structure. It is particularly attractive for older installations built from timber panels and steel posts: the existing structure stays in use while the wall itself performs considerably better. Instead of dismantling the whole installation, the old timber panels are removed and replaced with made-to-measure RAU Rock Extensiv elements that fit the existing post spacing.

For existing installations this is a major advantage. The basic structure is retained, while the wall is upgraded in function, appearance and planting. An ageing wall becomes a modern noise barrier that is technically up to date and sits far more comfortably in its surroundings. This is of particular interest to local authorities, infrastructure operators and asset owners who want to extend the life of existing structures economically rather than replace them.

Because existing installations vary in size from project to project, the new elements are designed and made to match what is already there. Each refurbishment is tailored to its site, which gives planning certainty and a precise fit.

The conversion produces a green noise wall in the style of modern planted construction and visibly upgrades older systems. An outdated timber wall becomes a durable, contemporary structure that performs better and looks better. For many existing installations this is the sensible choice when cost, keeping the existing posts and a modern appearance all matter.
