Warrawee Substation - Review of Environmental Factors

Warrawee Substation Page 34Operational Noise & Construction Noise & Vibration AssessmentReport No. 11332 Version B10 CONCLUSIONThe Operation Noise & Construction Noise & Vibration Assessment for Warrawee TractionSubstation has been prepared to assess the potential impact of the operations of the substationand also the impact from the construction works.The Operational Assessment of the substation indicates that the operation will comply with therelevant criteria as stated in the NSW Industrial Noise Policy (INP). The assessment has beenmade based on a worst case scenario where the Transformers would be operating at maximumload.The Construction Noise & Vibration Assessment recommends mitigation and managementmeasures for noise generated by the works, reducing potential impact to the surroundingreceivers. Assessment of vibration impact levels indicate that any potential impact fromvibration is predicted to be within relevant criteria.Management and mitigation measures to reduce noise impact at receivers have been identified,and are listed in Section 8 above. With proper management and mitigation, the potential noiseand vibration impact at the receivers can be minimised.Impacts from off-site traffic noise are predicted to be within criteria adopted from the RoadNoise Policy, which do not strictly apply but are considered the most relevant.
