Piling without the impact

Flooding and erosion, driven by climate change, will require extensive ground engineering. This comes with its own environmental impacts. Piling contractors must find ways to deliver this work, while minimising noise and vibration. Will North reports.

Arup - Towards a more sophisticated model for Noise Assessnment

Noise can have a significant effect on the health and wellbeing of those who live and work near its source. At present, planning authorities take a ‘community’ approach to sound, whereby acceptable noise levels are established based on their impact on the entire community. Arup aims to enhance this approach by conducting research into how individuals respond to noise. This could help develop more sophisticated noise assessments

What are the acceptable noise exposure levels for construction workers according to OSHA standards?
