How to Improve Sliding Door Performance with the Right Tracks, Locks, and Seals

The post How to Improve Sliding Door Performance with the Right Tracks, Locks, and Seals appeared first on UK Construction Blog. A sliding door is a complete system. Its track and rollers control movement, its lock provides security, and its seals help manage air, water, dust, and noise. If one part is poorly selected or installed, the entire door may feel unreliable. For example, a high-quality lock cannot correct a panel that does not align with […]

Healthy Work Environments in the Construction Industry

The post Healthy Work Environments in the Construction Industry appeared first on UK Construction Blog. Construction is not gentle work. You have people moving fast around heavy machinery, changing weather, dust, noise, tight schedules, and a dozen decisions that can’t wait until tomorrow. One rushed step, one missed signal, one worker pushing through fatigue, and the whole day can turn. That’s why health on a jobsite can’t sit in the […]

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?
