Tunneling and pipe installation for underground utilities involve the use of various mechanical equipment. Quality Powered Mechanical Equipment (QPME) such as excavator, generator and mobile crane which emitted relatively less noise compared with non- QPME are widely available in the territory. Moreover, the employment of some quieter construction methods such as top-down construction method or pipe jacking can also reduce the construction noise generation.

Noise reduction for some mitigation measures for reference.
