1. Introduction
This Site-Specific Construction Noise and Vibration Management Plan (SSCNVMP) forms part of the Construction Noise and Vibration Delivery Work Plan (CNV DWP) for the Aotea Station1 Main Works
This SSCNVMP includes a record of consultation with affected receivers and addresses each subsection (a-f), as required by condition 37.5 and 38.5. The SSCNVMP was developed in accordance with the established Auckland Council Subject Matter Expert (SME) and Independent Peer Review Process for the CRL project.
This SSCNVMP has been revised and updated from the previous revision following the CRL-Outline Plan Determination (AOT Public Realm)-OPW60389911 (16/02/22) by Auckland Council to address the changes requested to demonstrate compliance with conditions of Designation 2500.
This SSCNVMP provides a specific assessment of construction noise and vibration from the Public Realm Reinstatement (PRR) works within the project designation, that was not previously provided for as part of Aotea Station Main Works CNV DWP.
The PRR works extend along Albert Street from Wyndham Street to the southern end of the Aotea Station Designation 2500-1 located adjacent to 10 Mayoral Drive. This includes sections of intersecting roads including Victoria Street, Wellesley Street, Kingston Street, and Durham Street.
PRR works includes the following:
• Footpath construction
• Utilities installation
• Reinstatement of canopies removed as part of the enabling works
• Stormwater infrastructure
• Landscaping (including installation of tree pits and planters)
• Road pavement construction, paving, sealing, tie in works
• Installation of street furniture
The works will be undertaken in a staged manner (with five main stages), commencing as the current construction works are progressively completed (refer Table 1) A detailed description of the PRR works is provided in the Aotea Station PRR Construction Environmental Management Plan (CEMP) Addendum. This SSCNVMP should be read in conjunction with the Aotea Station Main Works Construction Noise and Vibration Delivery Work Plan (CNV DWP) to which this document forms part of Appendix F, as it contains further details of the project, noise criteria, monitoring and general mitigation measures
This SSCNVMP is a live document that will be reviewed at least annually. Any material changes to this SSCNVMP must be approved by Auckland Council prior to any on-site activity reliant upon the change commencing. Refer to the CEMP for further detail on the review and updating process.
Table 1 provides an overview of the construction works and staging. An overview of the works and details of the construction methodology are provided in Section 3.
1 In 2022 a proposal was made to the New Zealand Geographic Board (NZGB) Ngā Pou Taunaha o Aotearoa to alter the existing station name (Aotea Station) and assign a new official name (Te Waihorotiu Railway Station) This process is still being finalised, however, this document is named using the new station name, whereas existing documents maintain the previous station name

Table 3 Public Realm Reinstatement construction methodology
Stage
Footpath construction
Utilities installation
Reinstatement of canopies
Details of Works
• Footpath pavements generally consist of basecourse layer, reinforced concrete layer & decorative layer
• The Basecourse layer (Cemented treated basecourse) is spread and compacted using excavators and small roller/plate compactors
• Structural concrete layer is constructed in segments to maintain pedestrian movements and concrete is delivered via trucks with concrete pumps
• Dust from placement of fill and bedding material is controlled via a watering system
• Decorative paving is constructed by cutting, placing, and mixing of stone pavers with Steintec Bedding
• To maintain pedestrian access to business and properties, night works may be required for the pouring of structural concrete and installation of pavers
• A mobile acoustic enclosure is used during all paver cutting
• Duct from extraction and cutting operations is controlled via a watering system
• Duct installations are completed using a combination of excavators, trucks (for concrete, and for spoil disposal and importing backfill materials), hand tools, trench shields and compaction equipment
• The installation of street lighting and other above ground traffic service installation is linked to the utility duct and cable work.
• Previously removed canopies to be reinstated
• Electrical services, painting and buildings works for the reinstatement of canopies on 44 Wellesley St; 37 Albert St; 98-102 Albert St.

Details of the construction equipment that is likely to be used in the above activities and the associated noise levels can be found in Section 4.1 of the CNV DWP. Details of the equipment that is expected to generate high levels of vibration can be found in Section 4.2 of the CNV DWP.
Construction hours will be as per those outlined in Section 2.5 of the Main Works CEMP. Works will generally be undertaken Monday to Saturday, 0700 – 1900 hrs. However, certain activities may need to be undertaken outside these hours to minimise traffic impacts or minimise disruption to businesses or residents, such as network utility works where the Network Utility Operator (NUO) requires works to be undertaken at night, or the delivery of large plant.
Concrete pouring is likely to occur during night-time hours. Predictions of concrete pouring for construction noise during night-time hours include the concrete truck and concrete pump operational in the works area. Early morning concrete pouring will likely need to take place where access to businesses must be maintained during normal business (daytime) hours. This is expected to be required mainly along Victoria Street West, Wellesley Street West, Albert Street and lower section of Mayoral Drive but other areas may also require early morning concrete pouring as the project progresses
Night works will be required for the asphalting paving during road pavement construction and may be required for the installation of pavers Predictions of night-time paving are for the asphalt paver operating within the road corridor. Works must be undertaken for these activities during the nighttime to tie into and minimise disruption to the live traffic network and to maintain pedestrian access to business and properties. Cutting of pavers shall be undertaken during daytime construction hours.
4. 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 during other construction activities.
The use of high noise generating equipment (such as use of the concrete saw and concrete breaking) within close proximity of receivers has been modelled as a worst-case scenario. This may not actually occur, and is dependent on a number of factors including local ground condition, construction of existing footpaths etc.
With the mitigation and management measures implemented and barriers installed, the noise levels at the most exposed façade of a number of properties will still exceed the noise criteria by more than 5dB during some construction activities. These properties are detailed in along with an estimate of the current façade performance and the worst-case internal noise levels during Public Realm Reinstatement works, e.g. during use of the concrete saw and concrete breaker. Noise levels will reduce from those presented in during other construction activities.
It is important that stakeholders receive advance communication of high noise generating activities and night works. Refer to section 5 for the communication process.
Predicted noise levels for night works have been included in Table 4 where the building has a residential use or a commercial use that is operational during the night-time period.

Façade Build-up / Expected performance (dB Rw)
current façade performance with doors closed is estimated to be 25 dB Rw.
Further Mitigation During Night-time Concrete Pours and Paving
The use of noisy equipment outside the property will be kept to a minimum during night-time hours to reduce unnecessary high LMax noise events caused by impact from equipment being dropped, starting up or being moved etc.
Where practicable, the concrete truck and pump should be placed at least 15m away from the building during night-time works. Use of the paver outside during the night-time will be minimised as far as practicable.
Alternatively, the most affected rooms could be booked by the Project when night works occur adjacent to this receiver
Operation of construction equipment will be intermittent in nature. Construction will be linear so as the equipment moves away from the receiver noise levels will reduce.

Additional to the engagement above, at least two weeks prior to ‘high noise generating activities’ taking place within 50m of the receivers identified in , advance communication of the works shall be provided to the affected receivers (unless a different notice period has been agreed upon during
consultation). The communication shall set out the total duration of the noisy works, the likely duration of high noise generating activities immediately adjacent to the receiver, and any measures being taken to mitigate noise. Confirmation shall be provided 48 hours prior to the works commencing.
Similarly, at least two weeks prior to ‘high vibration generating activities’ taking place within 10m of the receivers identified in , advance communication of the works shall be provided to the affected receivers (unless a different notice period has been agreed upon during consultation). The communication shall set out the total duration of the vibration generating works, the likely duration of high vibration generating activities immediately adjacent to the receiver, and any measures being taken to mitigate vibration. Confirmation shall be provided 48 hours prior to the works commencing.
6. Monitoring
Section 8 of the CNV DWP provides details of the methodology for noise and vibration monitoring.
6.1 Noise Monitoring
Noise monitoring will be carried out when concrete saw begins within 20 metres of the buildings detailed in Table 8 The monitoring will be carried out at first floor level unless access is unable to be arranged.
of
Where activities take place that have already been monitored previously using similar equipment and at similar distances to receivers, additional monitoring is not required. Monitoring should still be undertaken where the activity involves equipment that has not previously been measured, or where works take place in closer proximity to receivers than when previously monitored.
6.2 Vibration Monitoring
Vibration monitoring will be carried out when works begin on site to determine actual equipment vibration levels and the attenuation provided by local ground conditions. If the initial vibration monitoring demonstrates that the emission radius for the plant is similar to that identified in the CNV DWP addendum, then the monitoring as detailed below will be carried out. If the initial monitoring demonstrates that vibration levels are lower than predicted, then fewer properties may require monitoring.
Vibration monitoring shall be carried out at the following buildings:
• 291-297 Queen Street
• 83 Albert Street
• 65 Albert Street
• 98-102 Albert Street
• 50 Mayoral Drive
• 11 Mayoral Drive
• 68 Victoria Street West
• 54-56 Wellesley Street West
• 26 Wyndham Street
• 34-36 Wyndham Street
• 61 Albert Street
• 4 Kingston Street
• 6-12 Kingston Street
• 61-65 Victoria Street West
• 24 Wellesley Street West
• 66 Victoria Street West
• 69 Victoria Street West
• 71 Victoria Street West
Where activities take place that have already been monitored previously using similar equipment and at similar distances to receivers, additional monitoring is not required. Monitoring should still be undertaken where the activity involves equipment that has not previously been measured, or where works take place in closer proximity to receivers than when previously monitored.
