4.5 Construction Noise Assessment<br />

4.5.1 Trenching and Cable Work<br />

It is envisaged that the main trenching and <strong>cable</strong> laying activities will be<br />

undertaken during normal daytime working hours, being between 7.00am and<br />

6.00pm Monday <strong>to</strong> Friday, and 7.00am <strong>to</strong> 1.00pm Saturday. Due <strong>to</strong> site<br />

constraints some night-time or weekend works may be necessary. In these<br />

situations notification would be provided <strong>to</strong> residents, Council and DECCW prior<br />

<strong>to</strong> conducting the works.<br />

Noise levels resulting from the envisaged construction activities during the<br />

trenching and <strong>cable</strong> laying will vary due <strong>to</strong> the transient nature and range of plant<br />

and equipment. Considering the likely worse case scenario, Table 7 presents the<br />

results of the noise level predictions for the five (5) main stages of the<br />

construction works. Under most situations however, construction noise levels will<br />

be less than those presented below. As the activities are short term and transient<br />

any likely noise impacts would be considered <strong>to</strong> be minimal.<br />
