Noise from large construction projects can be a nuisance for nearby communities. Vibration from activities like pile driving, concrete crushing and tunneling can also create nuisance but may also risk structural damage. Increasingly, both noise and vibration are significant factors surrounding a construction project. If not managed properly they can lead to project delays, further prolonging the nuisance and significantly increasing project cost. To help mitigate these risks, contractors are now using continuous noise and vibration monitoring to ensure that the impact from construction activity is kept within guidelines.
This seminar looks at how continuous real time monitoring of noise and vibration can be used to help manage community impact and reduce the risk of structural damage. It will discuss legislation and best practice as it pertains to construction operations in the US and Canada. This seminar will also present the concept of environmental capacity and show how engaging communities, setting expectations, and building trust can be an effective way of mitigating impact.
The seminar will highlight new technology that is in use at construction sites which follows the approaches discussed above to help manage compliance and reduce risk.
