110 New North Road SSCNMP

C6.1 Introduction

This Site Specific Construction Noise Management Plan (SSCNMP) is for the commercial building located at 110 New North Road occupied by Soar printing. A SSCNMP is required because construction is predicted to exceed the noise standards in CRL designation condition 31.

This SSCNMP has been prepared in accordance with CRL designation condition 37 and is Appendix C6 of the Mt Eden Main Works Construction Noise and Vibration Delivery Work Plan (CNV DWP). It is a supplementary document that builds on the CNV DWP, and therefore directly references relevant sections of the CNV DWP to avoid repetition. The objective of this SSCNMP is to detail the best practicable option(s) (BPO) to avoid, remedy or mitigate the identified adverse effects from noise exceedances at 110 New North Road.

This SSCNMP has been prepared for the Link Alliance and forms part of the Construction Environmental Management Plan (CEMP) for the Mt Eden Station Main Works. It builds on the SSCNMP previously prepared and implemented for the Mt Eden Enabling Works.

C6.2 Engagement

Mt Eden Enabling Works (for information)

In the absence of contact details, Link Alliance representatives Jarrod Snowsill and Craig Fitzgerald spoke to reception staff member on the door on 29 August 2019. Unfortunately, the appropriate person was not available. A general information pack with contact details was left with the intention that the appropriate staff member would call back. No response has been received to date to undertake further consultation.

Figure B.5 in Appendix B of the Mt Eden Enabling Works CNV DWP shows that the south façade is predicted to be exposed to noise levels between 75 –80 dB L Aeq during the rock breaking activities, exceeding the 75 dB L Aeq noise limit. Activity specific mitigation and management measures are included in Section 9 of the CNV DWP and not repeated here (e.g. Section 9.7 concrete and rock breaking). The building is occupied by Soar printing. They have printing and warehousing areas on the south façade, closest to the works. Office areas on the upper level of the northern building look over the southern printing and warehouse building. The estimated sound level difference across the façade with the windows and doors closed is 25 decibels. The predicted construction noise effects from Table 12-1 in Section 12.1 are predicted to be typically acceptable. Physical receiver mitigation, such as temporary relocation of affected receivers, alternative ventilation and façade sound insulation improvements, have been considered, but are not required as part of the BPO for the C3 enabling works. Consultation engagement has not been successful to date. Prior communication of timeframes for works with the potential to exceed the relevant noise limits will be provided where practicable (Section 10).

Mt Eden Main Works

Link Alliance representatives XXX met with building representative XXX on XXX date. The matters discussed included:

An overview of the next project phases

Mt Eden Main Works CNV DWP –Appendix C SSCNVMPs

General programme, rock removal, excavation, piling, and utilities relocation activities

General review of CNV DWP and this SSCNMP, communications triggers and monitoring CNV DWP Section 7 identifies summarise the potential scale of noise and/or vibration exceedances using the modelling outputs in insert hyperlink to the GIS maps here. The relevant stages are summarised below. Activity specific mitigation and management measures are included in Section 9 of the CNV DWP, and referenced in brackets, rather than repeated.

Retaining walls (refer piling in Section 9.8)

Fenton and Porters Ave (refer rock breaking and piling in Sections 9.7 and 9.8) The predicted construction noise effects from Table 12.1 in Section 12.1 are predicted to result in XXX noise effects. Physical receiver mitigation, such as temporary relocation of affected receivers, alternative ventilation and façade sound insulation improvements, have been considered, but are not required as part of the BPO for the Mt Eden Station Main Works.

XXX agreed that prior communication of timeframes for works with the potential to exceed the relevant noise limits was an acceptable means of managing effects. No further activity specific consultation is necessary over and above regular communication (Section 10).

C6.3 Review Process

If the property representatives requests consultation in the future, this SSCNMP will be updated in accordance with CRL designation condition 37.5, with consideration given to the following:

The extent to which noise may exceed the designation noise standards

The timing and duration of any exceedance

The type of activity causing any exceedance

A summary of the communication and consultation with the receiver

The methods and measures to mitigate noise effects

A statement of why they reflect best practicable option Communications records are contained in the communication and consultation plan (CCP). This SSCNMP will be updated to summarise engagement and any agreed site-specific measures.
