Marsh Alliance and Pyrotek: Engineering Solutions for a Quieter Rail Journey

15 Oct, 2024

In the quest for innovative acoustic solutions, Marsh Alliance provides expert engineering services and high-quality wire-formed parts. Recently, we partnered with Pyrotek, a global leader in noise reduction and vibration control, to design a cost-effective, easy-to-apply, and non-corrosive clip. This clip secures specially designed acoustic dampers to passenger rail tracks, creating a state-of-the-art acoustic system that enhances passenger comfort and reduces noise pollution.

About Pyrotek: A Pioneer in Noise Reduction

Pyrotek was originally established in Australia in 1972, with its headquarters based in Sydney. The company both designs and manufactures a diverse range of components to assist with noise reduction, vibration control, thermal and fire protection, and other specialty services. They have a team of engineers who not only design these products but can also produce unique plans to meet specific customer requirements.

Their products are used across various sectors, including commercial buildings, industrial machinery, public transport, marine vessels, offshore facilities, and more.

The Role of Wire Forms in Acoustic Systems

At Marsh Alliance, our expertise in wire forms is integral to creating effective acoustic solutions. Wire forms are versatile components that can be designed and manufactured to meet specific project requirements, making them ideal for various applications, including noise dampening systems.

In our collaboration with Pyrotek, we supplied a wire-formed part we had previously designed, tailored to fit seamlessly within their acoustic system. Our damper clips hold the noise-dampers in place along the rail line. These rail dampers, strategically installed between the rails within the rail corridor, actively dampen noise for passengers while significantly reducing noise pollution for the surrounding communities.

Impact on Passenger Experience and Community

The implementation of these acoustic dampers has made a considerable difference in enhancing the travel experience for passengers. The dampers absorb and mitigate sounds generated by trains, ensuring a quieter and more pleasant journey. Moreover, by reducing noise pollution, the system fosters a more peaceful environment for communities living near railway lines.

Both the clips and dampers have been successfully used in numerous projects, demonstrating our commitment to excellence in engineering solutions.

“We were extremely happy to work with such a professional engineering company to design the clips.” – Pyrotek
