Construction Noise Control Measures
Construction Noise Control
Measures
Construction Noise Control Measures to be
implemented during construction.
Maximising the offset distance
between noisy plant items and
nearby residential receivers
Avoid the simultaneous
operation of two or more noisy
plant items in close vicinity and
adjacent to residential
receivers
Schedule the noisiest activities
during normal business hours
(7.00am and 6.00pm Monday
to Friday and 8.00am and
1.00pm Saturday) or, where
this is not possible, to less
sensitive times of day
Provide periods of quiet if
activities occur for extended
periods during the night
Minimise consecutive night
time activities in the same
locality
Orient equipment away from
residential receivers
Carry out loading and
unloading away from
residential receivers
Position site access points and
roads as far as possible away
from residential receivers
Use structures to shield
residential receivers from noise

This would be difficult as the nearest residential
receivers are approximately 30 metres away.
Efforts will be made to minimise the simultaneous
operation of noisy plant and equipment.
It would be carried out during less sensitive time
during the day i.e not during commuter peak hour.
Not applicable as night works are not proposed.

Access to the site is off Kingsgrove Avenue, in
close proximity to residents. However volumes of
construction traffic will not be high, so noise impact
from traffic is likely to be negligible, given the
existing traffic noise in the area.
Structures will be used to shield residents from
noise where possible.
