Construction Phase

S3.78

The following good site practices shall be implemented:

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

·          Silencers or mufflers on construction equipment should be utilised and should be properly maintained during the construction programme

·          Mobile plant, if any, should be sited as far away 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

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

Operation Phase

S3.83

The maximum allowable flight number to be operated at both existing and proposed helipad should be controlled so as to ensure same noise performance found in the EIA Report.
