Comprehensive Noise Impact Assessment for Desalination Plant Construction

This assessment involves measuring existing ambient noise, studying future noise impacts during construction and operation of a proposed desalination plant, and analyzing noise impacts from power line construction on sensitive receptors. Utilizing methodologies such as SANS 10103:2008 and SANS 10328, the study predicts noise emission extent from the plant and provides mitigation recommendations. Factors considered include legislation, sensitive locations, site layout, traffic, work times, weather data, and topographical details.

  1. Noise Assessment Brett Williams

  2. Scope • The measurement of the existing ambient noise (day and night time). • A noise study of the future impact during construction and operation of the proposed desalination plant, taking into consideration sensitive receptors. • Noise impacts associated with construction of the power line on sensitive receptors.

  3. Methodology • SANS 10103:2008 Version 6 - The measurement and rating of environmental noise with respect to annoyance and to speech communication. • SANS 10328, Methods for environmental noise impact assessments. • SANS 10357, The calculation of sound propagation by the Concawe method.

  4. Outputs • Prediction of the extent of the noise emitted from the plant • Recommendations to mitigate the noise pollution

  5. Inputs • Legislation • Identification of sensitive locations • Layout of site • Inventory of buildings and associated equipment • Expected traffic • Work times • Weather data • Topographical data
