To tackle construction noise (including renovation noise) issue directly, there is a need to adopt the state-of-the-art quieter construction methods and equipment, and noise mitigation measures for construction projects.
Noise reduction for some mitigation measures for reference.
General Building Works
Use of acoustic enclosure for stationary plant can achieve a noise reduction up to 20dB(A) easily.
An effective way of reducing noise is to install a purpose-built barrier between the noisy equipment and the noise sensitive receiver.
The use of precasting and prefabrication technology to replace the in-situ construction not only reduces air pollution but has also reduced the amount of mechanical equipment used on site and therefore the cumulative noise impact.
QPME or Quality Powered Mechanical Equipment items, are construction equipment items that are new, notably quieter, more environmentally friendly and efficient.
