Construction Noise Impact Clause Samples
The Construction Noise Impact clause sets out the rules and expectations regarding noise generated by construction activities on a property. It typically outlines permissible noise levels, hours during which noisy work can occur, and any required notifications to affected parties such as tenants or neighbors. This clause helps manage and mitigate disruptions caused by construction, ensuring that all parties are aware of their rights and obligations, and reducing the risk of disputes related to excessive or unexpected noise.
Construction Noise Impact. ⚫ Quieter powered mechanical equipment should be used as far as possible. ⚫ Noisy operations should be oriented to a direction away from sensitive receivers as far as possible. ⚫ Proper and effective noise control measures for operating equipment and machinery on-site should be provided, such as erection of movable noise barriers, enclosure for noisy plants or enhancement works to provide sufficient acoustic decoupling measure(s). Closely check and replace the sound insulation materials regularly ⚫ Vessels and equipment operating should be checked regularly and properly maintained. ⚫ Noise Emission Label (NEL) shall be affixed to the air compressor and hand-held breaker operating within works area. ⚫ Acoustic decoupling measures should be properly implemented for all existing and incoming construction vessels with continuous and regularly checking to ensure effective implementation of acoustic decoupling measures. ⚫ Regular review and maintenance of silt curtain systems, drainage systems and desilting facilities in order to make sure they are functioning effectively. ⚫ Construction of seawall should be completed as early as possible. ⚫ Regular inspect and review the loading process from barges to avoid splashing of material. ⚫ Silt, debris and leaves accumulated at public drains, wheel washing bays and perimeter u- channels and desilting facilities should be cleaned up regularly. ⚫ Silty effluent should be treated/ desilted before discharged. Untreated effluent should be prevented from entering public drain channel. ⚫ Proper drainage channels/bunds should be provided at the site boundaries to collect/intercept the surface run-off from works areas. ⚫ Exposed slopes and stockpiles should be covered up properly during rainstorm.
Construction Noise Impact. The construction noise criteria set in Annex 5 in the EIAO-TM only apply on uses which rely on opened windows for ventilation. The first layer of NSRs would provide acoustic shielding to those receivers at further distance behind. The predicted noise levels at the first layer of NSRs which rely on opened windows for ventilation represent the worst-case scenario, and therefore representative Noise Assessment Points (NAPs) at these NSRs were selected for construction noise impact assessment. The identified representative NAPs are summarised in Table 4.5 and their locations are shown in Figure 4.1.
