Vibration Control Colchester

A contractor conducting demolition or construction works on a development will need consent from the local authority to limit noise, vibration and dust before work begins on site per the Control of Pollution Act 1974 (CoPA). Either Option 1 or Option 2 may be requested by the local authority:

• Option 1 – Construction Management Plan (CMP)
• Option 2 – Section 60 or Section 61 (S60 or S61) application

To assess noise for a CMP or S60 or S61 application, Climate will request further information from the contractor to accurately predict noise, vibration and dust from your site as per BS5228.

A contractor is responsible for all actions on site and is liable for any breaches to the limits set. Climate Acoustics alert its clients immediately by text, email or phone. Our proactive approach helps all our clients immediately resolve the issue and our consultants are on hand to react to the situation whenever necessary. Also, our audio recording capability may identify the source of the noise problem.

Climate can assist and install long-term monitoring equipment to measure noise, vibration and dust at the nearby sensitive commercial and residential receivers (receiver is a technical term for the sites impacted by noise, e.g. local residents).

Our continued monitoring, maintenance and reporting service is bespoke for each client and their project. We remotely download all data to provide tailored and fast weekly/monthly technical reports, demonstrating the measured levels at each monitoring location and show if the limits set are complied with for the local authorities:

• Planning conditions
• Construction Management Plan, Section 60 or Section 61 requirements
• BS5228-1 & BS5228-2 2009+A1-2014 Code of practice for noise and vibration control on construction and open sites: Part 1: Noise, and Part 2: Vibration

Our expert consultants also have expertise and experience in predicting noise and vibration through calculation. We have also served on the Crossrail project which provided invaluable experience for overcoming many challenges. All our staff hold a valid CSCS card.
