Constitution Hill, Dublin 7
The following environmental health requirements of the Air Quality Monitoring and Noise Control Unit shall be complied with: a) It is noted that an outline Construction Management Plan has been submitted, but that section 4.2 Dirt within the Part 8 Construction & Demolition Management Plan written by Arup states that the Bergerhoff method will be used. This is unwarranted as the report also states that real-time dust monitoring will be in effect and real-time monitoring is considered to be adequate in relation to monitoring for particulate levels. The Construction Management Plan should be revised to take note of this. The plan shall be submitted to, and agreed in writing, by the Planning Authority and the Air Quality Monitoring and Noise Control Unit, prior to commencement of development. The unit also welcomes the commitment to ensure the development adheres to this units Good Practice Guide for Construction and Demolition produced by the Air Quality Monitoring and Noise Control Unit of Dublin City Council and the measures implemented for ''High Risk'' sites. b) The outline Construction Management Plan submitted mentions in section 4.4 Vibration that criteria adopted for the prevention of cosmetic damage are given in the tables, but this unit’s good practice guidance document states that vibration levels must be kept below 1.0 mm/sec (PPV) where possible. Where levels are expected to exceed this value residents must be warned and an explanation given. This should be included in the CMP. c) A full asbestos survey of the existing buildings to be demolished should be conducted.
