Hushtec Delivers Advanced Noise Control Solutions For Construction And Mining Sectors
Hushtec, a New Zealand-based manufacturer with over 50 years of experience, is providing advanced noise control solutions for industries facing stringent regulatory and community noise requirements. The company’s customisable barriers and engineered systems are designed for sectors including construction, demolition, utilities, infrastructure, and mining.
Construction sites often generate significant sound pollution that affects both workers and surrounding communities. Hushtec addresses these challenges with its range of construction site acoustics barriers, which are engineered to reduce noise by up to 43dB. These barriers are lightweight, weatherproof, and rapid to install, supporting compliance with environmental standards while maintaining a safer work environment. The solutions are available in both off-the-shelf and custom-made formats, and are used by contractors, project managers, and acoustic consultants across New Zealand.
In the mining sector, Hushtec has developed targeted approaches for high-noise activities such as rock breaking and pile driving. The company’s rock breaker noise mitigation products include premium noise barriers, acoustic tents, and shrouds. These solutions have been lab-tested to provide noise reductions of up to 35dB for barriers, 25dB for acoustic tents, and 15dB for shrouds, supporting compliance with workplace safety and environmental regulations. Their modular, durable construction allows for flexible deployment in harsh mining environments and areas near residential developments.
Hushtec’s integrated approach—from design and development to manufacturing—is carried out at its state-of-the-art New Zealand facility. The company’s products are distributed globally and are trusted by Tier 1 contractors and industry leaders for their proven performance and reliability. Hushtec continues to seek partnerships with organisations dedicated to effective noise management across a range of industries.
