NOISE AND VIBRATION CONTROL ON CONSTRUCTION SITES London 17th February 1988 InsUtute of AcousUcs The meeting will provide a forum for the presentation and discussion of information on both predictive and measured work which has been undertaken to quantify and reduce the problems of noise and vibration originating from construction sites. Papers are invited on the following: The use of predictive techniques for estimating the likely acoustic impact, along with case studies showing the performance of the models used Techniques for controlling noise and vibration at source Shock wave measurements from piling operations and shot blasting Occupational exposure to noise and vibration Legal aspects of control - including case studies of the use of Section 60 and 61 procedures. Anyone wishing to present a contribution should forward an abstract of approximately 200 words to the meeting organisers.
