Noise and vibration/Dust mitigation Construction workers will need to use machinery and equipment that may generate some noise and vibration. Redevelopment Manager Sarah Sullivan said the project team will do everything it can to reduce the impacts of the noise and vibration. Some of the measures include real-time monitoring of noise and vibration levels; use of temporary noise mounds, barriers and enclosures and providing advance notification of noisy activities. Reducing dust caused by construction is also focus for the project team. A range of dust mitigation measures are implemented on site, including daily air monitoring and real-time tracking, compacting and sealing of the site to prevent dust particles to become airborne, covering truck loads and stockpiles and using road sweepers to collect dust and dirt. Hazardous materials Due to the age of the hospital buildings and site, some hazardous materials, such as asbestos containing material, lead paint and contaminated fill, are expected to exist in buildings and upper ground fill. All hazardous material identified will be removed by licensed contractors in accordance with legislative
requirements requirements and associated industry codes of practice. “The project is committed to ensuring safe removal of hazardous materials for residents, patients and carers, staff, workers and the community,” Sarah said.
