Pre-planning for construction and demolition works

These are complex issues involving many factors that require careful consideration. Key environmental issues to be considered include:

• a thorough site investigation should be undertaken prior to the works to assess site conditions (e.g. any structures or hazardous materials that will need careful management)
• dust created the during demolition phase (include in plans measures to minimise creation)
• noise created outside usual working hours (keep to a minimum during early morning and evening).
• stakeholders are kept informed of planned works (e.g. local residents who may be affected site operations).
• vibration caused by use and movement of heavy plant and hand machinery.
