Noise and Vibration

During construction, Shadforth aim to prevent or minimize the impact of noise and vibration on local residents.
Plant and machinery cause noise and vibration, which has the potential to inconvenience nearby residents, and
damage surrounding infrastructure.

Noise emissions are to be managed in accordance with Australian Standard AS2436, and work hours must
comply with Environmental Protection (Noise) Policy (2008), QLD Government Noise Advisory Standard (2004)
(according to the Workplace Health and Safety Act 1995), and Local Council bylaws.

Vibration is managed in accordance with air blast overpressure limits provided in Environmental Protection
Regulations (2008). If requested by the client an assessment of the potential impacts is undertaken in
accordance with AS2187.

Control measures to manage Noise and vibration are outlined in Table 7.
