Paragraph 16 Construction monitoringI1
England, Wales and Scotland
Unless otherwise agreed, the undertaker shall, in discharging condition 11(1)(b), submit details for approval by the MMO in consultation with Natural England and JNCC of any proposed surveys or monitoring, including methodologies and timings, to be carried out during the construction of the authorised scheme.
The survey proposals submitted under paragraph (1) shall—
specify each survey’s objectives;
where driven or part-driven pile foundations are proposed to be used, include monitored background noise measurements (during periods when piling is not being undertaken) and measurements of noise generated by the installation of the first four foundations of each discrete foundation type to be installed, unless otherwise agreed in writing with the MMO.
The undertaker shall carry out the surveys approved under paragraph (1) and provide the agreed reports in the agreed format in accordance with the agreed timetable, unless otherwise agreed in writing with the MMO in consultation with Natural England and JNCC.
The results of the initial noise measurements shall be provided to the MMO within four weeks of the installation of the last of the four piles, and the assessment of this report by the MMO shall determine whether any further noise monitoring is required.
