What to expect during the works

Throughout these works there is potential for noise and vibration. We will aim to keep disruption as minimal as practically possible and within the terms agreed with the local planning authority.

We have continuous noise monitoring equipment installed onsite to capture in real-time the noise levels being generated as well as handheld noise monitoring equipment to record noise levels per shift.
