Construction machines as a source of construction noise

Abstract

The contribution deals with issues concerning the modelling of the production area of a construction site from the aspect of the placement of construction machines, which are a source of noise for the protected area outside the site according to Government Regulation No. 272/2011 Coll. It covers the determination of a construction site noise prognosis for planned investments. It suggests reference procedures for the noise certification of construction sites with regard to surrounding terrain and developed areas, both reflective and non-reflective surrounding terrain and natural noise barriers. It defines inputs necessary for the verification of construction noise intensity during the construction preparation stage. It describes the options for modelling the noise burden at building sites, and the options for the placement of machinery within the manufacturing area based on knowledge regarding the noise level produced by machines and technological procedures. It justifies the necessity of assessing noise from construction machines during the optimization of construction site operations.
