Façade performance and internal noise levels
4.1 Noise
The Public Realm Reinstatement works are located close to a number of receivers such that internal noise levels will inevitably be high during some activities.
Use of a concrete saw, concrete breaker, plate compactor, roller compactor, and drilling equipment has the potential to exceed the Project Standards for construction noise. These high noise generating activities will occur intermittently. Noise levels will reduce from those presented in Table 4-1 during other construction activities.
An enclosure over high noise generating equipment, such as the concrete saw, is unlikely to be practical at all locations on site due to space restrictions. However, this will be reviewed on a caseby-case basis and, where practicable, enclosures will be utilised.
However, even with mitigation and management measures implemented and noise barriers installed as outlined in the CNV DWP, the noise levels predicted at the most exposed façade of a number of properties will still exceed the Project Standards by more than 5 dB during some construction activities. These properties are detailed in Table 4-1 along with an estimate of the current façade performance and the worst-case internal noise levels anticipated to be received during the use of concrete saws.
Detail on the timing and duration of high noise and vibration generating activities will be updated in the SSCNVMP once this information becomes available.
It is important that stakeholders receive advance communication of high noise generating activities. Refer to section 5 for the communication process.

Consultations have identified shift workers and retirees who sleep during the daytime within this building. Mechanical ventilation has been offered to residents as required occupying flats located long the façade overlooking the works.
Long term noise monitoring is currently installed at this property. The logger sends alerts to the construction team when the trigger alert level is exceeded. The construction team uses this information to manage noise from the construction site. It is expected this noise logger will remain in place for the duration of the PRR works.

4.2 Vibration
In addition to the general vibration mitigation measures outlined in Section 6 of the CNV DWP, the specific vibration mitigation measures outlined in Table 4-2 shall be implemented if the initial on-site vibration monitoring at the closest building foundations demonstrates that the building damage vibration limits will be exceeded.
Table 4-2: Vibration Mitigation Measures
Equipment/process
Excavators, bobcats, loaders
Jack-hammers, hammer-drills
Vibration control measures
Grease tracks regularly.
Avoid unnecessary revving of engines and banging of buckets on the ground.
Use smaller equipment where possible.
Use smaller equipment where possible
Roller compactors (8T-14T), plate compactor Use a smaller compactor, less than 10t
