4 Phillimore Terrace, London W8 - Noise, Dust and Vibration Statement - Identification and Action Details
The schedule as outlines identifies the necessary protection works and how this will reduce and in some areas eliminate noise, dust and
vibration nuisance and should be read in conjunction with the CTMP and Construction Method Statement
CONSTRUCTION METHOD
(see CMS also)
Measure, in accordance with the best
practical means, to be used to minimize,
noise, vibration and dust during the
construction of the basement, including
the excavation, that is likely to affect
adjacent residential premises.
Noise
Dust
Vibration
Preparation
Bore hole test, soil investigation, CTMP
and CMS. Full investigations and reports
have been carried out ahead of building
works to formalize the best practical
means to be used.
Best construction
method chosen to
reduce unnecessary
noise and reduce any
common risks that
could produce
unnecessary
disruption.
Best construction
method chosen to
reduce dust to
minimum possible
Best construction
method chosen that
can do the job with
the least vibration.
Hand tools and
methods of
excavation will be
used.
Hoarding to the front footpath boundary,
side and rear boundaries for the duration
of the works
Hoarding provides a
physical barrier
between the works and
surrounding sites and
areas, reducing
airborne and impact
noise
Dust is reduced due
to the hoarding, this
providing a physical
barrier, also assisting
removal and
prevention
Vibrations are
reduced due to the
physical nature of the
hoarding and timber
structure
House occupied by owners during the
works
Windows and door to
be retained and closed
at all times possible
reducing airborne
sound outside of the
property, further
hoarding at proposed
basement level
reducing further
airborne sound
Dust contained due
to hoarding and
secured openings
Sealed openings and
hoardings reduce
vibration and
increase absorption
House occupied by owners during the
works
Internal floors and
structures retained,
providing a larger
sound absorbing mass
for both airborne and
impact noise.
Occupiers live in
property therefore will
want to control noise
at all times
Dust contained due
to existing
construction and
occupiers requiring
dust suppression
Vibration reduced
due to existing
construction and
occupiers requiring
vibration suppression
and hand tool
excavation
Roofing to external excavations
Timber hoardings and
sheeting and roof
structures will be
provided over the
excavations containing
noise
Hoardings and
sheeting will restrict
dust and contain this
within the site
boundaries
Vibrations are
reduced due to the
physical nature of the
hoarding, sheeting
and timber structure
Site management
Site will be correctly
organised to improve
communication and
use of tools and
removal of materials
Site will be correctly
organised to allow
for damping down
and removal of dust
and friable material
Site will be correctly
organised to improve
communication and
use of hand tools and
removal of materials
Site working and
Management
Contractor to be member of the
Considerate Constructors Scheme,
professional overseeing of construction
project
Hours of working
controlled, site
organised and correctly
overseen by
management, correct
tools, construction and
methods utilised,
controlling noise
emissions

Excavation
Hand tools and non percussive hand tools
Reduce use and
excavation noise
Reduced dust
generation
Vibration
minimalised due to
hand tool use
Contained working areas, 1.00m underpin
sections
Hand working with
hand tools retaining as
much existing material
to absorb noise
generated
Hand working with
hand tools retaining
as much existing
material to absorb
dust generated
although spoil
generally damp
Hand working with
hand tools retaining
as much existing
material to absorb

Spoil removal
Taken to ground level
by reduced noise,
covered conveyor and
deposited in covered
and sheeted spoil
heaps to front of
property, as requested
by Highways in the
CTMP
Taken to ground
level by covered
conveyor, preventing
dust escape,
although material
damp and deposited
in covered and
sheeted spoil heaps
to front of property,
as requested by
Highways in the
CTMP. Spoil heaps
regularly dampened
down to prevent dust
escape
Taken to ground level
by covered conveyor
and deposited in
covered and sheeted
spoil heaps to front
of property, as
requested by
Highways in the
CTMP
Debris and construction waste
Bagged debris is stored
internally in a covered
area and removed by
grab as per CTMP to
cause least disruption
Material bagged and
hand moved to grab
Material bagged and
hand moved to grab
Material delivery
Hours of delivery
controlled as CTMP,
small amounts of
materials as and when
required (just in time
principle) manual
movement, storage of
items internally to the
lower ground floor
area where storage is
necessary
Hours of delivery
controlled as CTMP,
small amounts of
materials as and
when required (just
in time principle)
manual movement,
storage of items
internally to the
lower ground floor
area where storage is
necessary, internal
storage reducing
possible emissions
Manual handling
reducing vibration
Concrete preparation
Electrical mixers on
sound board to reduce
noise generation.
Mixer contained within
house or housing of
hoarding to contain
noise as outlined
above, small batches
reduce mixer
operational time
All materials pre
bagged, containing
material and
controlling dust, all
mixing to be wet not
dry, reducing dust
generation
Electrical mixers on
sound board to
reduce vibration.
Mixer contained
within house or
housing of hoarding
to contain vibration
as outlined above,
small batches reduce
mixer operational
time
Concrete delivery for floor slab only as
only small batches required for underpins
and only floor slab approx 5No deliveries
Concrete delivered
from highway into
basement and placed
by hand to the front
areas and by wheel
barrow and hand to
the rear sections in five
phases, providing low
generation of noise
No dust emitted
from delivery of
concrete, area
washed down before
and after delivery.
Area cordoned off as
per CTMP.
Large quantities of
concrete mixed off
site to reduce
vibration and
delivered to site.
Soil reinstatement
Pre bagged sub and top
soil delivered and
placed by hand,
reducing noise
Pre bagged sub and
top soil delivered and
