WaStop as a sound barrier at Sala prison

The Prison Service contacted Wapro with an inquiry about whether WaStop had previously been used to prevent noise, with the result that acoustic tests were carried out with successful results. A number of WaStops were then installed as a sound barrier to prevent inmates from communicating via the sewer pipes, while the toilet could be used as usual.

An unusual and successful installation!
