IAC Set To Take Uk Noise Barriers Market
By Storm
IAC has been accepted as a member of the UK's Fencing Contractors' Association so giving us open access to the wider UK noise barrier market.
There is increasing demand for effective, strong and lasting noise barriers along our motorways, railway routes and airport perimeters This, along with increasing noise legislation, is leading to the rapid demise of the traditional wooden barrier in favour of steel alternatives

This augurs well for IAC's state-of-the-art acoustic steel barrier technology, offering "Certified" acoustic performance.
Members of the Fencing Contractors Association (FCA) have to date mainly specified wooden fencing.
The recent merger of the Environmental Noise Barriers Association (ENBA), which represents noise barrier installers, manufacturers and suppliers, with the FCA, makes IAC's entry on the scene particularly timely.
Further good news is the fact that the British Standards Institution is currently working on new methods of assessing barriers' performance.
This is a plus for IAC, as our acoustic performance criteria are already the highest in the industry giving us a head start over the competition.
Richard Lissenborough, Project Manager, IAC Industrial, says: "We've long wanted to be a FCA member, but could never get a look in because our barriers are steel, and not wood.
So this is a watershed moment for us.
For the first time IAC now has huge potential for bidding barrier projects with contractors formerly using wooden alternatives.
With the endorsement of the FCA, we're set to land considerable market share and in a short time-frame.
Our steel barriers' proven acoustic performance, long life and demountability will, I'm sure, prove irresistible." Wendy Baker is Chief Executive of the FCA: "We are pleased to have IAC as a member company of the FCA.
Their commitment to improving quality and standards in the manufacture of noise barriers has enabled us also to approve their membership of the Environmental Noise Barrier Association.".
