MOON TOWNSHIP, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--CENTRIA is pleased to announce that Eco Sound Barrier, a sound barrier system with the industry's most innovative combination of affordability, sustainability and architectural flexibility, has received the American Society of Civil Engineers’ Charles Pankow Award for Innovation. Eco Sound Barrier is the industry’s first Cradle-to-CradleCM-certified road product and is a cost-effective, green alternative to traditional sound barriers. This innovative sound barrier is made from 23 percent recycled material and is 100 percent recyclable at the end of its useful life. And, at only 4.25 pounds per square foot, Eco Sound Barrier requires far fewer trucks to transport it to the jobsite, which dramatically cuts down on emissions and lowers a project’s carbon footprint. Additionally, total installed costs for Eco Sound Barrier are less than those of traditional precast barriers.
