Sustainable Innovations for Longlife Environmental Noise Technologies
Italferr, the engineering company of the Infrastructure Hub of the FS Italiane Group, is the protagonist - together with RFI (Hub leading company) and Anas (Coordinator) - of the EU LIFE SILENT project that has as its overall objective the development of sustainable and eco-friendly solutions for mitigating the noise immissions produced by road and rail traffic in complex urban environments, where the implementation of sound mitigation measures along the propagation paths (noise barriers) is impractical due to space constraints and other factors such as visual impact and air circulation.
In the course of the project, low-noise pavements with recycled and non-toxic materials from the paper and used tyre supply chains will be tested and developed, along with low height noise barriers, also made of recycled materials and innovative technologies, to reduce noise emissions from rail traffic.
