    Foundation Works

A lot of foundation works involved noisy activities, such as excavation/site formation, rock breaking and piling works. Typically, sound power levels of excavator/loader, bulldozer, excavator mounted breaker and piling machines can reach about 112 dB(A). Quieter equipment or methods are commercially available, which can significantly reduce the noise emission from the foundation works.
