S4.8.1

Good Site Practice

·        Only well-maintained plant should be operated on-site and plant should be serviced regularly during the construction program;

·        Silencers or mufflers on construction equipment should be utilized and should be properly maintained during the construction program;

·        Mobile plant, if any, should be sited as far from NSRs as possible;

·        Machines and plant (such as trucks) that may be in intermittent use should be shut down between work periods or should be throttled down to a minimum;

·        Plant known to emit noise strongly in one direction should, wherever possible, be orientated so that the noise is directed away from the nearby NSRs; and

·        Material stockpiles and other structures should be effectively utilized, wherever practicable, in screening noise from on-site construction activities.
