TÜBİTAK MAM Environment and Cleaner Production Institute aims to develop indigenous noise barrier systems to be used in noise mitigation and control works within the scope of the needs in the provinces where Environmental Noise Management studies and current situation analyzes have been completed.
Noise action plan projects are carried out in residential areas for the control of environmental noise. Within the scope of these projects, barrier scenarios where various materials can be used to reduce noise are developed. Barrier systems are designed acoustically. Although there are standards covering laboratory and field applications related to barrier systems, the criteria required by the standards cannot be applied in our country due to lack of specifications. By preparing application specifications according to international standards from the selection of noise barrier materials to their application, highly competitive domestic noise barrier systems can be developed. In this context, it has been stated that application specifications can be prepared on the basis of various materials that can be used in the production of barrier systems in our country with the meetings held with the High Science Board of the Ministry of Environment and Urbanization.
A meeting was held on March 22, 2019 at the High Science Board of the Ministry of Environment and Urbanization to determine the technical specifications of product components that can be used in the design and implementation of noise barrier systems.
The meeting was attended by members of the High Science Committee and the Environmental Noise and Vibration Management Branch Directorate from the Ministry of Environment and Urbanization, authorized personnel from the General Directorate of Highways and the General Directorate of TCDD Taşımacılık A.Ş. of the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure, the Construction Materials Industrialists' Association and representatives of TÜBİTAK MAM Environment and Cleaner Production Institute. Institute Director Dr. Selma AYAZ, Lead Researcher Assoc. Prof. Dr. Nesimi ÖZKURT and Specialist Researcher Deniz SARI from TÜBİTAK MAM Environment and Cleaner Production Institute participated.
