Amy Khor on noise assessment and mitigation for construction of North-South Corridor
The Land Transport Authority (LTA) conducted a noise impact assessment at Ang Mo Kio Avenue 6 in 2019, before the start of construction work for the North-South Corridor. Measures have been taken to mitigate the impact of construction noise, such as erecting noise barriers and noise enclosures, installing mufflers on machinery, using rubber mallets for hammering and carrying out noisier works in the day. However, safety-critical works such as the construction of diaphragm walls have to be conducted continuously, which could include working through the night. In such cases, LTA and its contractors will notify affected stakeholders through circulars and social media platforms. LTA also regularly engages residents to inform them of the progress of the project. Senior Minister of State Amy Khor said this in Parliament on Friday (Mar 3) in reply to an MP’s questions.
