Road maintenance and repairing works are usually required to be carried out at the less busy night hours to avoid causing serious interruption to heavily trafficked roads during daytime. Quieter equipment or methods for night-time works are needed to minimise the construction noise impact.
Noise reduction for some mitigation measures for reference.
Mitigation Measures
Noise enclosure Installation grind wheel covered by the noise enclosure.
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.
