RECO Construction overcoming construction noise challenges.

Our Case Study

RECO Construction overcoming construction noise challenges.

RECO Construction is currently engaged in a new project involving the construction of 37 brand new apartments. However, there is a challenge as the site is located right next to a kindergarten. Initially, they installed a wooden fence, believing it would help reduce the noise generated by the busy construction site. Unfortunately, this approach did not succeed, as most of the children attending the kindergarten are sensitive to noise. The noise from the construction site disrupted their focus and sleep.

Consequently, RECO had to adjust their working hours to minimize disturbance to the neighbouring kindergarten. Nevertheless, this modification did not prove to be effective, and they realized that their productivity was suffering. Therefore, they needed to find an alternative solution.

RECO Construction

Specialises in creating medium to high-density residential and light commercial developments in New Zealand. The scale of our projects varies from 30 units to 150 units, and over 300 units are constructed each year.

Earcon, an acoustic consultancy, recommended the Hushtec Noise Control Barriers to RECO. Upon receiving this suggestion, RECO promptly contacted one of our consultants and explained their urgent need for a solution. After discussing the situation with them, we recognized that a custom order was necessary. The existing wooden fence was higher than usual, and it was essential to ensure a significant reduction in noise levels. As a result, we provided them with a 10kg/m² Hushtec Noise Control Barrier, which was ideal for achieving optimal noise mitigation.

Following the installation of these barriers, RECO Construction was able to return to their normal working hours, and the kindergarten no longer received any complaints.

If you find yourself in a similar situation to what RECO Construction experienced, do not hesitate to contact Hushtec today. Let us assist you in lowering the noise levels on your site, allowing you to focus on your project.

Learn More About the Experiences of Hushtec Customers

Hushtec is our preferred noise mitigation partner, they have been helping us for years now and being able to also have full customisation on already unique high performing products is just WOW factor. Guys on-site love them for how easy and practical they are to shift alongside how effective they are at reducing noise on some of our louder machines such as rock hammers and concrete cutters.

I used to think noise barrier blankets didn’t work until I tried the Hushtec panels. These reduced our noise on-site immediately, which enabled us to continue works throughout the night on an urgent project, saving our customer thousands and helping complete the project before scheduled. The team is also very knowledgeable and helpful, couldn’t ask for more.

Hushtec panels are awesome!! No more complaints from our neighbours, more privacy and safety for our on-site staff, and free marketing with our logo printed on them! Highly recommend.
