Summary of Mitigation and Enhancement Measures<br />

• Air conditioning/air flow requirements shall be designed to<br />

take account of noise breakout;<br />

• Exhaust stacks will be designed to meet a power level of 92<br />

dB(A);<br />

• Design an acoustic enclosure for the gas turbines with a<br />

Hushclad double-skin enclosure with good door seals which<br />

will be replaced regularly to meet the specifications for 82 dB at<br />

1 m from the source;<br />

• The fitting of a silencer into the exhaust gas system;<br />

• Design gas turbine building (including air conditioning, walls,<br />

roof, windows and doors) to have a high noise reduction rating<br />

and ensure that there are no significant gaps;<br />

• Configure plant layout and orientation to minimise noise;<br />

• Use acoustic enclosure/ absorption materials in internal walls;<br />

• In cases where noise levels cannot be reduced below guideline<br />

levels, the Project will investigate the relocation of these<br />

households;<br />

• Implementing design measures such as attenuators on the<br />

stacks, cladding on the turbine building and/ or noise barriers<br />

to reduce noise level requirements of 45dBA for the four<br />

identified receptors; and<br />

• Establish a grievance mechanism.<br />
