Tamil Research Institute
RAPID TECHNO-ECONOMIC FEASIBILITY REPORT FOR
DEVELOPMENT OF COLACHEL PORT AT TAMILNADU
FINAL REPORT
Anticipated
Impact
Construction
Blasting for quarrying shall be carried out during calm
wind conditions.
Good blasting practices.
Mitigation Measures
Operation
Automated sprinkler system to be installed at quarry site.
Quarry and construction materials shall be covered with
sheets/enclosed during transportation and storage.
Dust suppression techniques for roads and work areas,
optimisation of traffic patterns, and reduction of travel
speeds.
Generation
Particulate
Matter, including
breathable
suspended
particulate matter
(dust generation)
Vegetated or covered exposed soils and other erodible
materials.
New areas should be cleared and opened-up only
when absolutely necessary.
Loading, transfer, and discharge of materials should
take place with a minimum height of fall, and be
shielded against the wind, and consider use of dust
suppression spray systems.
Hardened roads should be laid in the area.
Vegetation screens alongside the port access roads.
Greenbelt of adequate width should l be developed in
all possible areas including Cargo storage areas and
long the boundary of expansion project area.
Solid wood barriers or wind screen fabric should be
used around the perimeter of construction site.
Dust suppression techniques (e.g. wetting down, use of
agglomeration additives) for roads and work areas
should be applied.
Only Vehicles having Government license and
certificate for transportation of construction and quarry
materials should be used.
Table 47 Enayam Alternative. Predicted Project Impacts on Air Qualities and Mitigation Measures
5.1.2.2. Mitigation measures for Noise Pollution
The following measures could mitigate the negative impacts caused by noise emissions:
• Noise mitigation measures shall be in place prior to the commencement of any construction work.
• All contractors and subcontractors involved in the port construction phase should comply with the relevant
international noise standards.
• Activities that take place near residential or sensitive receptors to be careful planned (restricted to daytime,
taking into account weather conditions, etc.).
• Residents in the vicinity to be notified about construction schedules and activities;
• All plant and equipment to be fitted with silencers, mufflers, acoustic linings, or shields, as necessary.
• If necessary, measures to be taken to reduce noise emissions from the site shall include provision of screens
or bunds to absorb noise and deflect it away from receptors.;
