Appendix-B Rapid Environmental Assessment (Screening) Checklist

Screening Questions Yes No Remarks

A. Project Siting Is the project area…?

Note: This completed REA checklist was submitted to ADB as part of its routine categorization for the project.

Densely populated? √

The project is located in an urban setting with dense population all along the route. Roadway traffic demands and intersecting thoroughfares are typical along the project alignment.

Heavy with development activities? √

The areas close to city center are developed and the undeveloped areas along the route fall under, ongoing heavy development activities.

Adjacent to or within any environmentally sensitive areas? √

Schools, hospitals etc but these are typical of an urban setting. No known recognized environmentally sensitive area is directly in the alignment or façade to façade area, though parts of Karachi University campus are maintained as natural space.

Cultural heritage site √

The project does not have any known cultural site close to the route. (Note the MA Jinnah Mausoleum is a heritage site but at a distance from alignment).

Protected Area √ There are no protected areas along the alignment.

Wetland √ There are no wetlands close to the alignment.

Mangrove √ There are no mangroves along the corridor

Estuarine √ There are no estuary along the alignment

Buffer zone of protected area √ There are no buffer zones of a protected area along the alignment

Special area for protecting biodiversity √

There are a few parks such as (Safari park/ Zoo and Askari park etc) along the route but at a considerable distance from the alignment. They do not fall under any special known area/ category for protecting biodiversity.

Bay √ Not near the alignment

B. Potential Environmental Impacts Will the Project cause…

Impacts on the sustainability of associated sanitation and solid waste disposal systems and their interactions with other urban services.

√

The setting up of worker camps and construction activities could lead to issues relating to sanitation and solid waste disposal. Strict implementation of necessary measures in the EMP/



382188 I 05 I D (259) 29 November 2018


Site specific contractors EMP will ensure the impacts are short term and limited to construction phase.

Deterioration of surrounding environmental conditions due to rapid urban population growth, commercial and industrial activity, and increased waste generation to the point that both manmade and natural systems are overloaded and the capacities to manage these systems are overwhelmed?

√

Improvement is envisaged with better maintenance of vehicles and efficient emission controls and faster turn over travel time

Degradation of land and ecosystems (e.g. loss of wetlands and wild lands, coastal zones, watersheds and forests)?

√

There are none along the route. Some trees will need to be pulled down along the route. However, the overall area will be improved with better landscaping and additional indigenous tree plantation.

Dislocation or involuntary resettlement of people? √

Physical property related resettlement is not envisaged. Some disturbance in access to livelihood may occur, and traffic congestion could increase during construction.

Disproportionate impacts on the poor, women and children, Indigenous Peoples or other vulnerable group?

√ Not envisioned

Degradation of cultural property, and loss of cultural heritage and tourism revenues?

√ Not expected

Occupation of low-lying lands, floodplains and steep hillsides by squatters and low-income groups, and their exposure to increased health hazards and risks due to polluting industries?

√ Not envisioned

Water resource problems (e.g. depletion/degradation of available water supply, deterioration for surface and ground water quality, and pollution of receiving waters?

√ Not applicable

Air pollution due to urban emissions? √

BRT users and residents will benefit. New and well-maintained transport is expected to reduce emissions, particularly CO and SO2, leading to improved air quality and eventually health.

Risks and vulnerabilities related to occupational health and safety due to physical, chemical and biological hazards during project construction and operation?

√

Keeping in view the highly populated nature of the project corridor, the risks related to occupational health and safety during the construction phase do exist. However, any such impacts will be short term and limited to the construction phase with no long-lasting impacts expected and their mitigation will be covered in the site-specific contractors EMP

Road blocking and temporary flooding due to land excavation during rainy √

Potential for blockage of traffic during excavation of underpasses at



382188 I 05 I D (260) 29 November 2018


season? intersections. Implementation of traffic management plan during construction phase can mitigate some of the impacts.

Noise and dust from construction activities? √

Potential for excessive dust generated along alignment. The strict implementation of mitigation measures in the EMP can minimize impacts. Other impacts on community use and values can occur during construction without strict enforcement of community safety and health guidelines by the contractor.

Traffic disturbances due to construction material transport and wastes?

√

Interference with longitudinal traffic along alignment and cross-traffic at underpass construction. Also, spoil or construction materials placed in the right of way can interfere with traffic. Implementation of the traffic management plan can reduce these impacts

Hazards to public health due to ambient, household and occupational pollution, thermal inversion, and smog formation?

√ Dust generated by construction will be a problem if not properly mitigated.

Water depletion and/or degradation? √ Not envisioned

Overpaying of ground water, leading to land subsidence, lowered ground water table, and salinization?

√ Not envisioned

Contamination of surface and ground waters due to improper waste disposal? √ Not envisioned

Pollution of receiving waters resulting in amenity losses, fisheries and marine resource depletion, and health problems?

√ Not envisioned

Large population influx during project construction and operation that causes increased burden on social infrastructure and services (such as water supply and sanitation systems)?

√

The project is in an urban setting with a healthy mix of population from all over the country. No new influx of people is envisioned due to the project.

Social conflicts if workers from other regions or countries are hired? √

No conflicts are expected since Karachi is an urban cosmopolitan city and the work force hired will most probably be domiciled in Karachi already.

Risks to community health and safety due to the transport, storage, and use and/or disposal of materials such as explosives, fuel and other chemicals during operation and construction?

√

The strict implementation of mitigation measures in the EMP will reduce these impacts, however the risks exist.

Appendix-F Archaeological ‘Chance Find’ Procedures

Background

The purpose of this document is to address the possibility of archaeological deposits becoming

exposed during ground altering activities within the project area and to provide protocols to follow in

the case of a chance archaeological find to ensure that archaeological sites are documented and

protected as required.

The Pakistan Antiquities act 1975, and the Sindh Cultural Heritage Preservation Act 1994, protect

archaeological sites, whether on Provincial Government owned or private land. They are non-

renewable, very susceptible to disturbance and are finite in number. Archaeological sites are an

important resource that is protected for their historical, cultural, scientific and educational value to the

general public and local communities. Impacts to archaeological sites must be avoided or managed

by development proponents. The objectives of this ‘Archaeological Chance Find Procedure’ are to

promote preservation of archaeological data while minimizing disruption of construction scheduling. It

is recommended that due to the moderate to high archaeological potential of some locations within

the project area, all on site personnel and contractors be informed of the Archaeological Chance Find

Procedure and have access to a copy while on site.

Potential Impacts to Archaeological Sites

Developments that involve excavation, movement, or disturbance of soils have the potential to impact

archaeological materials, if present. Activities such as road construction, land clearing, and

excavation are all examples of activities that may adversely affect archaeological deposits.

Relevant Legislation

It ensures the protection, preservation, development and maintenance of antiquities in the province of

Sindh. The Act defines “antiquities” as ancient products of human activity, historical sites, or sites of

anthropological or cultural interest, national monuments, etc. The Act is designed to protect these

antiquities from destruction, theft, negligence, unlawful excavation, trade, and export. The law

prohibits new construction in the proximity of a protected antiquity and empowers the GOS to prohibit

excavation in any area that may contain articles of archaeological significance. Under the Act, the

subproject proponents are obligated to ensure that no activity is undertaken in the proximity of a

protected antiquity, report to the Department of Antiquities, Government of Sindh, any archaeological

discovery made during the course of the project.

Remedies and Penalties

The Sindh Antiquities Act provides for heritage inspection or investigation orders, temporary

protection orders, civil remedies and penalties to limit contraventions. These powers provide:

‘’A contravention of any provision of this Act or the rules shall, where no punishment has been

specifically provided be punishable with rigorous imprisonment for a term which may extend to two

years, or with fine up to rupees ten hundred thousand, or with both. ‘’

Archaeological ‘Chance Find’ Procedure



382188 I 05 I D (300) 29 November 2018

If you believe that you may have encountered any archaeological materials, stop work in the area and

follow the procedure below:

The following ‘chance-find’ principles will be implemented by the contractor throughout the

construction works to account for any undiscovered items identified during construction works:

i. Workers will be trained in the location of heritage zones within the construction area and in the

identification of potential items of heritage significance.

ii. Should any potential items be located, the site supervisor will be immediately contacted and

work will be temporarily stopped in that area.

iii. If the site supervisor determines that the item is of potential significance, an officer from the

department of Archaeology (DoA), GoSindh will be invited to inspect the site and work will be

stopped until DoA has responded to this invitation.

iv. Work will not re-commence in this location until agreement has been reached between DoA

and PDA as to any required mitigation measures, which may include excavation and recovery

of the item.

v. A precautionary approach will be adopted in the application of these procedures.

Detailed Procedural Steps

• If the Director, department of Archaeology receives any information or otherwise has the

knowledge of the discovery or existence of an antiquity of which there is no owner, he shall, after

satisfying himself as to the correctness of the information or knowledge, take such steps with the

approval of the Government, as he may consider necessary for the custody, preservation and

protection of the antiquity.

• Whoever discovers, or finds accidentally, any movable antiquity shall inform forth with the

Directorate within seven days of its being discovered or found.

• If, within seven days of his being informed, the Director decides to take over the antiquity for

purposes of custody, preservation and protection, the person discovering or finding it shall hand it

over to the Director or a person authorized by him in writing.

• Where the Director decides to take over an antiquity, he may pay to the person by whom it is

handed over to him such cash reward as may be decided in consultation with the Advisory

Committee.

• If any person, who discovers or finds any movable antiquity contravenes the provisions of the Act,

he shall be punishable with imprisonment for a term which may extend to five (05) years, or with

fine not less than fifteen hundred thousand rupees or with both and the Court convicting such

person shall direct that the antiquity in respect of which such contravention has taken place shall

stand forfeited to Government.

• The Director or any officer authorized by him with police assistance may, after giving reasonable

notice, enter into, inspect and examine any premises, place or area which or the sub-soil of which

he may have reason to believe to be, or to contain an antiquity and may cause any site, building,

object or any antiquity or the remains of any antiquity in such premises, place or area to be

photographed, copied or reproduced by any process suitable for the purpose.

• The owner or occupier of the premises, place or area shall afford all reasonable opportunity and

assistance to the Director.



382188 I 05 I D (301) 29 November 2018

• No photograph, copy of reproduction taken or made shall be sold or offered for sale except by or

with the consent of the owner of the object of which the photograph, copy or the reproduction has

been taken or made.

• Where substantial damage is caused to any property as a result of the inspection, the Director

shall pay to the owner thereof reasonable compensation for the damage in consultation with the

Advisory Committee.

• If the Director after conducting an inquiry, has reasonable grounds to believe that any land

contains any antiquity, he may approach the Government to direct the Revenue Department to

acquire such land or any part thereof and the Revenue Department shall thereupon acquire such

land or part under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (I of 1894), as for a public purpose.

Appendix-G Site-Specific Environmental Management Plan (SSEMP)

(Suggested Environmental Safeguard Provisions for Tender Documents)

General

The Contractor’s Environmental Management Plan (EMP) must also include details which are related

specifically to the project work site. The construction contractor’s Site Specific Environmental and

Management Plan (SSEMP) must demonstrate compliance with this specification as well as the

Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Report and the EMP contained in the EIA report. The EIA

report of KBRT Redline Project has been prepared under the authority of the Government of Sindh

Environmental Protection Act and Regulation and ADB’s Safeguard Policy Statement (2009).

Environmental Management Framework

Roles of Transport Mass Transit Department( TMTD), Project Implementation Unit ( PIU) and Detailed Design, Engineering Procurement Construction Management ( EPCM) Consultants during Design/Construction period.

Agencies engaged in the process of environmental management as described in this section are: the

Sindh Mass Transit Authority Project Implementation Unit (SMTA PIU); the Construction

Supervision Consultant (CSC) hired to support the PIU in construction management; and the

contractor(s) performing the construction activity. The TMTD/SMTA PIU provides the authority for

enforcing mitigation measures during the construction period, supported by the CSC. SMTA in its

operations role in environmental management will come to the forefront during the operations phase.

The Phase I contract component covers Detailed Design, Engineering Procurement Construction

Management, wherein the Consultant prepares the design and bid documents, assistance in

evaluation of bids, and documentation concerning environmental aspects, including preparation of

this binding document for contractors. The CSC also ensures all environmental design requirements

are included in the design and in the bidding documents, including this EMP.

The Phase I EPCM consultant also provides assistance to the TMTD and PIU in public consultation

and in communications with Sindh Environmental Protection Agency (SEPA) with respect to submittal

of the EIA. The Phase II Construction Supervision Consultant (CSC) will be hired separately to

support TMTD and PIU to carry out monitoring of mitigation measures undertaken by the

Construction Contractors, and provide training to the PIU staff

Project Management will be performed by the CSC headed by a full-time Project Manager/Resident

Engineer to take responsibility for and manage activities of the CSC. The CSC will be responsible for

the following in relation to their works: (i) assisting the PIU in implementing the Project; (ii) carrying

out procurement and engaging and contractors; (iii) liaising and coordinating with the TMTD and other

authorities; (iv)Managing the contractors; and (v) liaising with other stakeholders on the day to day

implementation of Project activities. TMTD will receive support from the CSC to implement the

environmental and resettlement plans. Safeguard specialists for environment and resettlement will be

part of the CSC to oversee implementation of the environmental and resettlement plans prior to the

bidding stage to ensure the bidding documents include all environmental management requirements.



382188 I 05 I D (303) 29 November 2018

The Phase II CSC will engage one International Environmental Specialist (IES) for an intermittent

six months period and three National Environmental Consultants (NECs) on full time basis for

fifty four months. The IES and NEC specialists will also conduct safeguards capacity building

activities in the PIU among staff assigned to Environmental and Social Safeguards.

Roles of Environmental and Safety Officer (ESO), Equal Opportunity, Gender and Social Specialist ( EOGSS) and Construction Supervision Consultant (CSC)

Environmental and Social Safeguard specialists are available in PIU and their services will continue

to be required, to oversee safeguards monitoring of the Project during construction operations.

Positions of ESO and EOGSS posts will eventually be needed in the Sindh Mass Transit Authority

(SMTA). Once established the ESO and EOGSS may guide CSC during the construction period.

Role of the Contractor

The civil works contractor will be responsible for fulfilling contract conditions related to environmental

mitigation and monitoring. The contractor is responsible for implementing all environmental, health

and safety actions that are mentioned in the EMP of Karachi Red Line EIA report and relevant

clauses in the bidding documents and contract during the pre-construction and construction period.

The Contractor’s will prepare a SSEMP based on the site-specific construction methodologies it

proposes to use and the EMP mentioned in EIA. The SSEMP will further elaborate on the EMP and

will provide detailed measures on how it will mitigate impacts, including but not limited to air pollution,

noise, traffic, health and safety risk, drainage and sediment, spoil and solid wastes, hazardous

materials and other impacts identified in the EIA. PIU will review the SSEMP before the

commencement of construction. Acceptance does not preclude introducing further actions into the

14. The Environmental Management Plan (EMP) describes the institutional framework and

mitigation measures aimed at specific types of impact. Institutional aspects are described for

two phases of the KBRT Project, construction and operations. Environmental components of

planning and design are described, followed by construction mitigation measures and those

related to operations

Relationship among Groups

The organizational framework during construction consists of TMTD PIU, CSC environment staff, and

the Contractor’s EMO and support team. SEPA may also be involved in occasional site visits and

monitoring of the site conditions.

As stated earlier, the PIU provides the authority for enforcing mitigation measures during the

construction period, supported by the CSC. The PIU has minimal staffing for direct engagement with

field inspection activity, whereas the CSC serves as a technical secretariat for the PIU, being staffed

with environmental specialists financed under the PDA and the ensuing loan precisely for the function

of monitoring and reporting on contractor performance.



382188 I 05 I D (305) 29 November 2018

Role of Sindh Environmental Protection Agency (SEPA)

SEPA will review the statutory environmental assessment. Approval will be conditional on the

proponent providing commitment to implement all mitigation measures in the environmental

assessment and environmental management plan along with any additional requirements set out in

the environmental approval.

On-going consultation with SEPA will be required during the construction of the project. SEPA will be

asked to assist in the monitoring of implementation of the SSEMP and ensure that environmental

management and mitigation of the project is undertaken to an acceptable standard. Periodic

inspections will take place with SEPA, TMTD PIU, CSC and Contractors.

382188 I 05 I D (307) 29 November 2018

Table G-3: Typical Content of Site-Specific Environmental Management Plan (SSEMP)

Content of SSEMP

Chapter Brief Description of each chapter

1. Introduction & Overview of the Site Specific Emp.

Brief description of the project; ADB environmental category; When IEE/EIA have been prepared; The main objective of the plan; By whom the SSEMP is prepared (construction contractor should be mentioned in this chapter).

2. Definition of Boundaries

Brief description of project site location; Provide here project site map with construction site boundaries;

The decision on how to divide a project can be made based on the following criteria:

1. If the construction activities are different 2. If there are variations in the environments (such as a transition

from agricultural land to forest or from rural to residential areas).

Justification is also needed why this project has been divided in one or more areas for which a single or more SSEMP preparation is needed.

3. Sensitive Receptors and Environmental Values

Once the boundaries of a site to be covered by a SSEMP have been defined, the sensitive receptors surrounding the site and the environmental values of the area need to be confirmed and accordingly described in this chapter.

4. Construction Activities

In this chapter various phases of work for each site should be described. Different phases of work will include different activities and thus different environmental management requirements.

For example, construction of a reservoir could have the following schedule of works:

- Site Clearance, Topsoil Stripping - Site Establishment, Excavation and Materials Transportation - Demolition of Reservoirs - Concrete Pouring Activities - Backfilling and Compaction - Reinstatement

5. Risk Assessment The Risk Assessment Matrix should be included in this chapter. The last column of Risk Assessment Matrix includes brief description of environmental management measures (mitigation measures).

6. Environmental Management Measures

Environmental Mitigation measures and their implementation should be described in this chapter in more details than in Risk Assessment Matrix.

7. Site Plan

The environmental management requirements need to be included in a site plan. This is the final, but vital stage in the preparation of SSEMP. ADB will not consider a SSEMP to be complete unless a site plan accompanies the risk assessment matrix. A site plan must cover the extent of the construction activity and should contain:

- Indication of North, and scale; - Existing and planned supporting infrastructure (e.g. access

roads, water supplies, electricity supplies, etc.) - Location of planned work - Contours - Drainage systems - Locations of sensitive receptors

8. Environmental Monitoring Plan

Summary of monitoring requirements, locations and frequency are shown in table 7-2.



382188 I 05 I D (308) 29 November 2018

General Contractors Site Specific Construction Environmental and Social Management Plan

The SSEMP is the Contractor’s detailed plan for meeting the requirements of the EMP as defined in

the EIA report. Since the EMP is a general specification, it is the Contractor’s responsibility to

prepare a site-specific SSEMP that addresses how the Contractor will perform the mitigation

measures described in the EIA, in terms of location and frequency; and commitment of labour,

equipment, other resources and expenditure; as applicable to a particular requirement.

The SSEMP will provide environmental guidelines to EMO, which describe location and frequency for

monitoring of physical parameters (air, water, noise and vibration) in house and by the IMG; describe

periodic in-house training for its own staff; and provide a reporting format, inclusive of forms and

checklists and other necessary elements. The contractor is expected to mobilize necessary staff to

carry out mitigation measures described in the SSEMP; to supervise skilled/unskilled labour; and to

manage, review and periodically report on performance related to implementation of mitigation

measures.

While it is the duty of the Contractor to manage environmental protection in keeping with its SSEMP,

the Contractor is not absolved from meeting the terms of the EMP found in the EIA, which provides

the basis for monitoring and inspection by the CSC.

Monitoring and Reporting during Construction

The system for monitoring compliance with environmental mitigation measures conforms to the

general arrangement. The system provides periodic inspection and specifies monitoring that needs

to be conducted daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly and yearly and the need for data compilation and

reporting of results. The CSC environmental inspector will utilize a checklist to evaluate compliance

with mitigation measures. Checklists serve primarily as guides for reviewing performance to

determine general compliance with broad indicators, tentatively as follows:

The SSEMP is expected to contain site- specific plans and check lists to monitor and address the

following:

i. Utilities and Telecommunications Relocation

ii. Air Quality Control

iii. Noise Control Plan

iv. Vibration Control and Monitoring Plan

v. Dust Control Plan

vi. Traffic Management.

vii. Haulage Management Plan

viii. Labour provisions and Occupational Health and Safety Plan

ix. Public Safety Plan

x. Site Cleanliness

xi. Drainage and effluents Management Plan

xii. Spoil handling and disposal Plan

xiii. Solid Waste Disposal Plan

xiv. Materials Management Plan



382188 I 05 I D (309) 29 November 2018

xv. Hazardous Material Handling and Management Plan

xvi. Excavation Protection and Runoff Control Plan

xvii. Tree-cutting and compensatory Planting Plan

xviii. General code of conduct of work

xix. Protection of Community Values

xx. Environmental monitoring and other indicators selected for the work at hand.

xxi. Communication Plan

Other sub-plans may need to address; borrow areas; construction camps; water management;

emergency response; training; local recruitment and hiring; security; fuel and hazardous materials

management; and materials handling and storage, and other sub-plans as defined by the CSC.

The contents of these sub-plans are in many cases elaborations of preliminary planning done during

detailed design by the Phase I EPCM consultant, as described in the EIA report.

382188 I 05 I D (319) 29 November 2018

Vibration Control and Monitoring Plan

Vibration Control and Monitoring Plan

To determine the risk of construction vibration impacts, a construction site specific detailed study

process will be required to identify feasible mitigation measures to reduce vibration impacts. These

are as per recommendations included in the EIA, EMP and this document.

At the discretion of the engineer, the Contractor may be required to submit to the Engineer for review

and final approval a written Site Specific Construction Vibration Control Monitoring Plan (VCMP)

detailing the procedures for vibration monitoring and control. The VCMP plan may include the

requirement for trial construction sections to determine the likely magnitude of vibrations at defined

distances from a vibration source. The cost of all works and activities necessary to comply with the

VCMP are deemed to be included in the Bill of Quantities BoQ, which would enable bidders to cater

for this in their bids. Once work in a particular section of the road has been scheduled, nearby

residents and property owners should be notified about the specific times and dates that vibration

generating activity will occur. Night work should be avoided as much as possible.

Pre-construction surveys

The Contractor and the Engineer may carry out joint pre-construction surveys of all buildings along

the road alignment that, in the opinion of the Engineer might be affected by vibration resulting from

the Contractor’s construction operations. The surveys should be conducted in the presence of and

with the permission of the property owners. The survey reports should also be verified by the property

owners. There are various methods that can be used to conduct preconstruction surveys, but all must

meet the primary purpose of documenting the pre-construction condition of the structures, including

all the defects and existing damage.

It is also good practice to examine structures both near and far from the construction activity. If

cracks or other defects are consistent throughout the area, they may be the result of thermal stresses

or settlement. Cracks or defects that diminish with distance from the vibration source may be

indicative of effects caused by the source. A typical approach to condition surveys is provided in BS

7385 Pt. 2 [5].

Compliance Monitoring during Construction

The contractor may conduct compliance monitoring of vibration levels at structures alongside the

scheme. This information can be used to both protect structures, monitor the contractor’s construction

practices and to verify the accuracy of the model. Monitoring shall be conducted in line with

international best practices and as recommended by the Vibration Specialist during the detailed

vibration study. This shall include measurement of vibration at the actual structure and not just in the

adjacent ground and will make use, where appropriate of monitoring equipment incorporating gprs

communications to alert contractors and the Employer should threshold damage limits be

approached.

Construction Vibration Management Plan

Within 30 days of the Commencement Date, the Contractor shall submit to the Engineer for review

and approval a written VCMP detailing the procedures for vibration monitoring and control if required

by the Engineer, the details shall include:

i. Measurement locations and methods;

ii. Method statements for works likely to induce vibrations, including programs of trial

construction sections to determine the likely magnitude of vibrations at defined distances



382188 I 05 I D (320) 29 November 2018

from the vibration source, in sufficient detail for the contractor to develop a final method for

constructing the works without excessive vibration;

iii. Description of the instrumentation and equipment to be used;

iv. Copies of the instruction manuals and the laboratory calibration and test equipment

certification;

v. The resumes of the vibration monitoring technical support personnel, sufficient to define

details of relevant experience;

vi. Procedures for data collection and analysis;

vii. Frequency of measurements;

viii. Means and methods of providing warnings when the specified construction vibration limits are

reached;

ix. Action plans to be implemented in the event the specified construction vibration limits are

reached. The generalized plans of action shall comprise the positive measures by the

Contractor to control vibrations using alternative construction methods;

The Contractor shall establish a vibration monitoring and control system in accordance with the

VCMP approved by the Engineer, and measure vibrations resulting from its construction operations at

predetermined points, in accordance with the VCMP.

The Contractor shall monitor vibration during demolition, piling, compaction, and other significant

vibration- producing construction activities as determined by the Engineer. This monitoring shall

consist of a continuous recording of the maximum single-component peak particle velocities for one-

minute intervals. During the monitoring, the Contractor shall document all events that are responsible

for the measured vibration levels, and submit the documentation to the Engineer.

All vibration monitoring data shall be recorded contemporaneously and plotted continuously on a

graph by the data acquisition equipment. Each graph shall show time-domain wave traces (particle

velocity versus time) for each measurement location with the same vertical and horizontal axes scale.

Vibration Mitigation Measures

Vibration mitigation measures may include making use of alternative construction methods which

produce lower levels of vibration, for example carrying out bored piling rather than impact piling, or

using hydraulic cutters rather than hydraulic breakers, or use of smaller plant.

In the case of vibratory rollers, which are a principal source of vibration, measures could include use

of a low roller vibration setting, carrying out compaction without vibration, increasing the stiffness of

the sub base using soil cementation techniques, decreasing the thickness of material layers below

the maximum thickness permissible under the specification or where practicable building wave

barriers in the form of a trench or ditch.

In the event that it is not possible to alter either construction methods or the type of equipment then it

may be necessary to consider temporary/ permanent resettlement or alternative route alignments.
