Challenge
Monitoring Noise and Vibration Levels at Sensitive Locations to Ensure Compliance

Contractors had to predict potential impacts on sensitive buildings, implement best practicable means to minimise them, and continuously monitor real noise and vibration data to ensure full compliance throughout the demolition phase
