Lift System
Noise & Vibration Pollution
Practical Solutions
- Preference should be given to place the lift plant in a plant room with thick walls, sound adsorption materials, sound proof door and silencers for air inlets/outlets
- Locate the lift plant in isolation from residential premises, for example, placing the lift room at rooftop
- Select quiet machine
- Conduct regular maintenance, such as lubricating moving parts, tightening loosen parts, replacing worn-out components and inspecting equipment alignment
- Use anti-vibration pad or vibration isolator between the vibrating machines and the fixed building structure to avoid structural vibration transmission

- Adopt proper noise control measures for exhaust fans:
- Choose silent type exhaust fan
- Install silencer at the exhaust outlet
- Provide an inertia block with vibration isolators to support the fan
- Provide flexible connectors between the fan and associated ducts
- Seek professional advice from acoustic consultant/contractor
