Abstract: A noise abating wall including piers with integral column members, columns each including two laterally extending wing walls, and a spandrel panel. The piers are secured in spaced ground holes with column members extending vertically from the pier securing the columns in a vertical orientation with the wing wall outer sides having a selected spacing from one wing wall of an adjacent column. The spandrel panels are wider than the selected spacing of wing walls of adjacent columns whereby the spandrel panel sides overlap the sides of adjacent wing walls. First connectors on the spandrel panel front face adjacent both of the panel opposite sides and second connectors on the wing wall rear faces adjacent the wing wall outer sides connect together to secure the overlapping walls and spandrel panels in substantially face to face contact.
