Introduction



Daytime construction noise is one of the most annoying noise problems in Hong Kong. The use of quieter construction methods/ equipment would be an effective approach to reduce the construction noise impacts. In order to echo with those approach during construction work, the relevant update on the credit requirements of introducing the practice of Construction Noise Impact Assessment (CNIA) and using recognised quieter construction methods/ equipment are included in the assessment of IDCM 7b under BEAM Plus NB v2.0.

To allow for level play and better budget control, early consideration of the use of quieter construction methods/ equipment before tendering is essential to ensure such methods/ equipment would be adopted, and hence a quantitative assessment in a Construction Noise Management Plan (CNMP) before tendering is suggested to be conducted in the detail design stage. The CNMP should include quantitative assessment and particular specifications in construction contracts for adopting recognised quieter construction methods/ equipment. To further assist the project proponents in preparing CNMP, a new web-based platform called Web-CNMP has also been developed by EPD.

Through this seminar, you will know more about the rationale and details of this new approach, the key features of Web-CNMP and how they can improve the noise environment, as well as the relevant update on the credit requirements of IDCM 7b under BEAM Plus NB v2.0.
