Noise

Mitigation Measures

Construction Phase
Good site practice should be followed for both Advanced Works and River Modification and Associated Works:

	Use of well-maintained plants on-sites
	Use of silencers or mufflers on construction equipment during the construction
	Mobile plants, if any, should be sited as far from NSRs as possible
	Shut down machines and plants that may be in intermittent use
	Direct the orientation of strong noise emitting plant away from nearby NSRs
	Use of material stockpiles and other structures to screening noise from on-site construction activities

The following mitigation measures should be implemented during the Advanced Works and River Modification and Associated Works in Works Areas III and IV:

	Use of quiet PME
	Adoption of movable noise barriers
	Scheduling of PME/construction activities (only for Works Area III)
