Aluinvent's LO2 (two side open) panels were applied to the entire legth of the platforms at Corvin-Negyed Station in Budapest, a length of 125m on both sides. The panels serve a dual purpose, both aesthetic and functional, providing a unique decorative element and also functioning as part of a noise reduction system to make the station as silent as possible.
Prior to construction lab tests were conducted to establish the sound dampening properties of the panels. Tests showed the panels were twice as effective at reducing sound than originally required by the client.
Aluinvent panels are made from 90% recycled materials in a manufacturing facility run entirely by renewable energy which helped the project achieve the required low carbon and sustainability target required by the Budapest Transport Corporation.
