For the new Stanislascollege in Delft, we realised the complete steel construction of the glass noise barrier. The barrier immediately stands out due to its light, open appearance and the special design, in which craftsmanship and innovation come together.
The construction consists of 61 upper posts and associated coupling profiles. Each component is thermally galvanised and double-layered powder-coated in a fresh shade of green (RAL 6021), so that the facade is not only strong and durable, but also fits perfectly with the architectural appearance of the building.
What makes this project truly unique are the specially manufactured elliptical columns. These oval-shaped steel profiles (400x200 mm) are designed to give the facade a flowing and elegant character. Due to their specific shape, they contribute to the transparency and openness of the building, while at the same time providing the necessary strength and stability.
The glass facade is constructed with a carefully selected mounting system, so that the steel and glass together form a single unit without disturbing elements. In addition, perforated panels have been incorporated, which provide a subtle play of light and shadow inside the building.
This clever combination of shape, material and finish creates a screen that is not only functional, but also looks inviting and modern. With this project we show how steel constructions can not only form the basis, but can also determine the face of a building, if the increased ambient noise requires this.
