Research Idea Scope
The objective of this research is development of a Practitioners Handbook for Noise Wall Inspection Procedures During and Post Construction. The completed handbook will provide state highway agency staff and supporting consultants with information necessary to effectively inspect new noise wall projects as well as existing noise walls to avoid issues during and post construction.
Urgency and Payoff
This project has high urgency for states that have a high square footage (SF) of noise walls and continue to build new noise walls. Lack of funding for the project will result in a continued state of risk for states when trying to ensure new noise walls are constructed properly and existing noise walls are performing properly.
