INTRODUCTION This Construction Noise and Vibration Management Plan (CNVMP) forms part of a suite of environmental management plans within the Construction Environmental Management Plan (CEMP). This CNVMP identifies the noise and vibration performance standards that must, where practicable, be complied with. It also sets out best practicable options for noise and vibration management for the Project. This CNVMP is intended as a framework for the development and implementation of particular noise and vibration management and control methodologies to minimise adverse effects on health and safety of workers and occupants and to reduce the adverse impact on the environment. This CNVMP will be updated throughout the course of the Project to reflect material changes associated with any changes to the construction methodologies or techniques or the natural environment. The document shall be reviewed annually to ensure that any changes are reflected. A Glossary of technical terms is contained in Appendix A.

MONITORING

J9.1

Requirements

J9.1.1 Noise Construction noise levels shall be monitored and assessed in accordance with the requirements of NZS 6803:1999 “Acoustics - Construction Noise”. Construction noise levels shall be monitored and assessed:  Generally in accordance with NZS 6801:2008 and NZS 6803:1999  During critical phases of construction, i.e. when possible exceedance of the Project criteria is anticipated  In response to reasonable noise complaints being received  At locations representative of sensitive receivers in the vicinity  One metre from the most affected façade, or, if this position is not accessible, at an equivalent position where practicable. If this is not possible, measured noise levels shall be adjusted for distance and façade reflections if necessary  To reflect representative construction activities, and shall be no less than 10 to 15 minutes and not exceed 60 minutes duration. The measured noise level shall be stated with the measurement duration: LAeq(T)  By a suitably qualified acoustic specialist J9.1.2 Vibration Construction vibration levels shall be monitored and assessed in accordance the requirements of German Standard DIN 4150-3:1999 “Structural vibration – Part 3: Effects of vibration on structures”. Prior to construction, trial measurements of high-vibration activities (including blasting) shall be undertaken to establish Project specific ground attenuation characteristics and safe distances. During construction, vibration levels shall be monitored and assessed:  During critical phases of construction, i.e. when possible exceedance of the Project criteria is anticipated  In response to reasonable vibration complaints being received  To reflect representative construction activities, and shall comprise measurements of peak particle velocity (PPV) at one second intervals  By a suitably qualified and experienced specialist J9.2

Contingency measures In the event that measurement shows non-compliance with the Project criteria, the following procedures shall be implemented:  For noise, the processes of the flow chart attached in Appendix B shall be followed. This includes further measurement to be undertaken where necessary to determine the

Page 9 of 20

City Rail Link Notice of Requirement: Noise and Vibration Assessment: Appendix J

extent of non-compliance and preparation of a report outlining the non-compliance and, if required, potential mitigation and management measures  For vibration, the processes of the flow chart attached in Appendix C shall be followed. This includes a building condition survey and a report prepared by a suitably qualified person, including photographs, detailing the state of repair of the existing structure, and an opinion as to whether any damage may be due to construction activity. Subsequent additional monitoring and other management as required. Upon implementation of any additional mitigation measures, further measurements shall be undertaken to confirm the effectiveness of those mitigation measures J9.3

Reporting Any noise, vibration or building condition surveys shall be summarised in a report to be submitted to the Project Manager within one week of the assessment. Monitoring records shall be kept at the site office and made available upon request.

J10.

GENERAL MANAGEMENT PROCEDURES AND MITIGATION MEASURES The following sections outline noise and vibration management and mitigation measures that shall be implemented throughout construction of the Project. Any appropriate management and mitigation measures shall be implemented and installed in the appropriate locations prior to the construction works occurring that have been identified to potentially cause an exceedance of the Project criteria set out in Section J3 above.

J10.1 Consultation Consultation with affected parties shall be carried out prior to commencement of construction activities as follows:  Receivers within 100 metres of the construction area: Written notification and a Project description shall be provided to raise awareness of the Project, its expected activities and duration in the vicinity  Receivers within 50 metres of the construction area: Individual written notification shall be provided and opportunity made available for discussions on a case-by-case basis, if requested by the occupants/owners  Receivers within 20 metres of the construction area: Individual discussions shall be held and, if required, suitable alternatives and/or mitigation options explored that are acceptable to both parties. Ongoing consultation shall be carried out throughout the duration of construction When discussing concerns over vibration, it is important to convey that vibration can be felt at levels far below those that pose a risk of building damage. Further details on identifying at-risk receivers are contained in the Schedules in Appendices D and E. [Schedules of at-risk receivers shall be completed by the contractor prior to commencement of the Project].

Page 10 of 20

City Rail Link Notice of Requirement: Noise and Vibration Assessment: Appendix J

J10.2 Training of personnel All personnel on site shall be made aware of the importance of operating in the least disruptive manner. All personnel working on the Project, including Contractor employees and subcontractors, shall be familiar with, and be responsible for, implementing this CNVMP. J10.3 Schedules of At-risk Receivers Prior to commencement of Project construction operations, at-risk receivers, structures and buried services shall be identified and added to the schedule in Appendix D. At-risk receivers may include places of work or assembly where people may be annoyed by construction noise or vibration, e.g. Aotea Centre where the building is not at risk but people attending performances may be adversely affected. J10.4 Building Condition Surveys Prior to the commencement of Project construction operations, a detailed pre-construction building condition survey of identified at-risk structures and services (refer Schedule in Appendix D) shall be conducted by a suitably qualified engineer. In addition, each building shall be classified according to the Project vibration criteria (refer Section 0) to identify the relevant vibration limit for that receiver. The survey shall include, but not be limited to, the following:  Existing condition of buildings, services or structures, including existing levels of any aesthetic damage or structural damage  Record (including photographs) of the major features of the buildings, services and structures including location, type, construction, age and present condition, including defects  Foundation type of the building, service or structure  Preparation of a report recording the findings of the survey. A copy of each report shall be forwarded to the Contractor Environmental Manager and kept at the site office  Resurvey of buildings, services and structure, during construction, which are the subject of complaints, or if the vibration criteria have been exceeded and there is potential for damage to have occurred  Within six months of completion of the Project, a detailed post-construction condition survey of the same buildings, services and structures shall be conducted and a report prepared 10.1

Reversing Alarms All equipment operating on any of the above ground Project construction sites during nighttime shall be fitted with alternatives to tonal reversing alarms. These may be flashing lights or broadband audible alarms.

Page 11 of 20

City Rail Link Notice of Requirement: Noise and Vibration Assessment: Appendix J

J10.4 Night-time Operation  In close proximity to residences, above ground high-noise and/or vibration activities shall be scheduled for daytime where practicable, and avoided during night-time  In close proximity to commercial buildings, high-noise and/or vibration activities shall be scheduled for evening and night-time periods where this is practicable J10.5 Noise Barriers and Enclosures  Shall be used in areas where the Project noise criteria may be exceeded  Shall be used where they provide effective mitigation (i.e. break acoustic line-of-sight and are close to either the source (preferable) or the receiver)  Barriers are typically constructed from plywood and shall contain no gaps and be of sufficient height to interrupt line-of-sight between the receiver and the source. Alternative barrier constructions may include, but not limited to, fibre cement, shipping containers or mass-loaded vinyl  Enclosures may be used where a noise barrier is not sufficient to achieve compliance with the Project noise criteria  Enclosures may be used where practicable, i.e. stationary plant such as conveyors or crushers  Enclosures shall be designed by a suitably qualified and experienced acoustic specialist  All barriers and/or enclosures shall be installed in relevant positions prior to those construction works occurring that have been identified to require mitigation J10.6 Mechanical Ventilation of Dwellings Where external windows must be closed in order to achieve compliance with the internal Project noise criteria, and where no alternative ventilation system is present, the installation of mechanical ventilation shall be considered for that building. This shall be implemented as a last resort only after all other general noise management and mitigation have been deemed impracticable. J10.7 Selection of low noise and vibration plant Low noise and vibration plant shall be selected and used wherever practicable. Where plant is identified as being particularly noisy and/or vibration inducing, action shall be taken to reduce emissions. This may involve the fitting of mitigation devices, such as silencers, enclosures or isolation pads. Plant shall be maintained to ensure that noise and vibration emissions remain as low as practicable. J10.8 Vibration Effects on Infrastructure Assets Any infrastructure assets such as roads, underground pipework etc. near areas of highvibration activity shall be identified prior to commencing construction and included as the Schedule in Appendix D. Risk assessments of relevant infrastructure assets shall be undertaken, and be managed through SSCVMPs (refer Section J11) as appropriate.

Page 12 of 20

City Rail Link Notice of Requirement: Noise and Vibration Assessment: Appendix J

J10.9 Temporary relocation Where all practicable noise and vibration management and mitigation measures have been implemented, but compliance with the Project criteria is still not achievable, relocation of affected receivers may need to be considered. Relocation shall be considered in exceptional cases only, and expert advice from a suitably qualified and experienced acoustics specialist shall be sought. J11.

SITE SPECIFIC CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT PLANS (SSCMPS)

J11.1 Site specific construction noise management plan (SSCNMP) For any construction activities that have the potential to breach the noise criteria, as set out in Section J3, a noise assessment shall be undertaken. Where noise levels are predicted to exceed the noise criteria in Section J3 by less than 5 dBA, all practicable measures will be implemented as per the CNVMP with the aim of achieving compliance with the construction noise criteria. Monitoring of these activities will be undertaken to determine compliance. Where the modelled noise levels are predicted to be 5 dBA or more above the noise criteria in Section J3, a SSCNMP shall prepared prior to works commencing. J11.2 Site specific construction vibration management plan (SSCVMP) For vibration issues, a SSCVMP shall be developed for any activities measured or predicted to exceed the building damage Project criteria, refer Section 0. J11.3 General requirements Notwithstanding the requirement to submit a SSCNMP or SSCVMP, mitigation measures shall continue to be implemented as per the CNVMP and reviewed/monitored to confirm compliance and effectiveness of the plan. This includes the overall aim to achieve compliance with the relevant Project criteria. For noise, the likelihood of exceedance shall be determined by utilising appropriate prediction tools. For vibration, the likelihood of exceedance shall be determined by pre-construction measurements of relevant vibration inducing equipment to establish safe distances. The SSCMPs shall contain, to an appropriate detail:  The activity and location proposed  Timing/duration  Equipment utilised  Predicted noise/vibration levels  Identified dwellings at which compliance cannot be achieved with conventional mitigation measures  Alternative management and mitigation measures proposed

CNVMP REVIEW This CNVMP, including environmental controls and procedures, shall be reviewed to ensure that it remains applicable to the activities being carried out. The CNVMP will be reviewed by the contractor for appropriateness and will be revised in accordance with the relevant designation conditions. The CNVMP will be updated, with the necessary approval, throughout the course of the Project to reflect material changes associated with changes to construction techniques or the natural environment. A management review of the CNVMP will be undertaken at least annually by the Project management team. The review will take into consideration:  Significant changes that affect the noise and/or vibration generation  Key changes to roles and responsibilities within the Project  Changes in industry best practice standards  Changes in methodology or management in response to noise and/or vibration monitoring showing non-compliance  Changes in legal or other requirements (social and environmental legal requirements, consent conditions and relevant policies, plans, standards, specifications and guidelines)  Public complaints Reasons for making changes to the CNVMP will be documented. A copy of the original CNVMP document and subsequent versions will be kept for the Project records, and marked as obsolete. Each new/updated version of the CNVMP documentation will be issued with a version number and date to eliminate obsolete CNVMP documentation being used.
