|
|
10. |
The applicant shall explore ways to avoid carrying out the construction works at restricted hours. If the applicant still wants to apply for a CNP, the applicant shall identify the practicable working hours that cause the least noise nuisance and provide justifications according to "Checklist to Explore the Feasibility of Daytime Roadwork". Please click here for the checklist. |
|
|
11. |
The applicant shall provide document(s) (such as comment from TD or Police, results of trial lane(s) closure, or minutes of TMLG meeting) to justify that the construction work cannot be carried out during the non-restricted hours and can only be carried out during the proposed working hours. |
|
12. |
If a CNP is issued for construction work with unavoidable constraints on working hours (e.g. road pavement work) even though the noise could not meet the limit, EPD would require the employment of the quietest practicable construction method. Please click here for a practice note on the "Minimizing Noise from Construction Activities" . Please also click here for examples of noise control measures, quiet construction equipment and techniques. |
