Construction work activities can adversely impact the environment if not properly managed and controlled. Impacts
range from water pollution e.g. from silty water runoffs, air pollution e.g. from dusts and engine exhausts, noise
pollution from construction activities, as well as resources and energy consumption.
The purpose of this Environmental Management & Monitoring Plan is to detail the means and methods through
which the project team will mitigate the risks to the environment arising from the construction activities to achieve a
healthy and clean working environment and minimize impact to neighbours and the public. It also details the energy
and resource conservation measures that will be implemented to minimize impacts on the environment, such as
waste recycling, use of sustainable construction materials and energy efficient appliances etc.
References used to produce this plan are the LL 2015 Global Minimum Requirements (GMRs) 4.10 - Occupational
Health Exposure, 4.11 - Public Health Exposure, 4.13 - Degradation or Pollution of the Environment, BCA’s Green &
Gracious Builder Guide v2 and applicable Singapore Environmental Regulations and guidelines.

3.0 WATER POLLUTION CONTROL
Water pollution is the contamination of water bodies (e.g. sea, groundwater) when pollutants are directly or
indirectly discharged into them without adequate treatment to remove harmful compounds. Water pollution affects
plants and organisms living in these bodies of water. In almost all cases the effect is damaging not only to
individual species and populations, but also to the natural biological community. The typical water pollution sources
arising out of the construction activities on the project are silty water runoffs from earthworks, spillage of fuels and
chemicals into the ground and uncontrolled discharge of wastewater into public watercourses.
The following sections detail the various aspects of water pollution control measures that will be implemented on
the project.
The earth control measures (ECM) are for the management of soil erosion, containment and treatment of silty
discharges due to the impact of storm water. The effects of storm water, if not properly discharged, will flood the
site, pollute the water, and affect the health of the workforce.
Prior to commencement of earthworks at the site, a system of earth control measures will be put in place to
prevent the overflow of earth, silt, mud and debris from the worksite and into the public drains, sewers and
adjacent premises. This system of earth control measures will be site specific and designed by a Qualified Erosion
Control Professional (QECP) registered with the Institution of Engineers, Malaysia and approved by the Drainage
department of the Public Utilities Board.
This system will comprise of the following key elements, suitably located and installed at the site as per the
approved design of the QECP (Refer to Appendix 2 – Proposed ECM Layout Plan for the locations of the ECM
system elements):
The concrete lined cut-off drains will be constructed using drain sections manufactured from recycled aggregates
(see Fig. 1) along the perimeter of the site (see Pic. 1) to collect and contain all storm water within the site and
direct the silty water to the retention pond, thereby preventing the uncontrolled discharge of silty water beyond the
perimeter of the site and potentially into adjacent properties and the public drain or sewer. Approximate 500mm
strip of land on both sides of the perimeter cut-off drain will be paved with lean concrete to prevent solids being
washed down into the cut-off drains.
Silt fence
Fig 1 - C7 drain section Pic 1 - C7 drain installed along site perimeter hoarding
3.1.2 Silt Fence
Along the internal edge of the drain line (see Pic 1), a silt fence will be installed. Silt fence is a fabric made of
woven polypropylene yarns treated to resist degradation caused by exposure to sunlight. They function in a
manner similar to a filter in which water is allowed to filter through the fabric while suspended soil particles settle to
the ground. This restricts the loss of soil from the site while permitting the water to drain efficiently. The silt fence
will be embedded 600mm into the ground and extend a minimum 300mm above ground (see Pic 2).

Environmental Management Plan
Pic 2 – Silt fence detail Pic 3 – Silt Trap
3.1.3 Silt traps
Silt traps (see Pic 3) will be installed at intermediate locations (typically every 20 to 30m) along the drain line to
trap and retain silt, so as to reduce of the silt content of the discharge.
The extent of exposed earth surfaces within the worksite will be reduced as far as practicable. These exposed
areas will be turfed, paved or covered with mill waste immediately after the earthworks for the area is completed.
The Environmental Control Officer (ECO) will ensure daily inspections of all elements of the ECM is carried out to
ensure it is in good working order and the quality of the treated and discharged water meets the legal requirements.
An ECM maintenance team comprising of 2 workers who are trained by ECM plant supplier, under the supervision
of the ECO, will be formed to monitor and upkeep the ECM system. Duties will include, but not limited to:
In addition, the QECP who designed the site ECM system will be required to conduct monthly inspections to
ensure the ECM measures are effective and propose additional or remedial measures where necessary. These
inspections shall be documented and filed by the site ECO. The QECP contact details for the TRX are as follows:

All excavations shall be kept clear of water with suitable de-watering plans put in place. Care will be taken to
ensure that the site is kept properly drained at all stages of work and that standing pools of surface water are not
allowed to form. Regular maintenance and levelling of site access roads and construction areas will be carried out
as required to minimize water pooling. In all cases, water from the site shall be conveyed into the main perimeter
cut-off drainage system for collection, treatment and discharge.
The execution of any construction work activity on the site shall not change, disrupt, block, divert or disturb the
existing overland flow or the existing perimeter cut-off system of drains unless an alternative approved drainage
system has been provided. The runoff within, upstream of and adjacent to the work site shall be effectively drained
away without causing flooding within the work site or in the areas outside the work site.
Bunds of stockpiled materials such as earth from trench work shall not be longer than 10m and gaps of at least 1m
width shall be provided between the bunds to allow the free flow of surface runoff. Materials from any stockpile
shall not be allowed to fall or be washed into the drains. Adequate preventive measures, including the provision
erosion control blankets where necessary, shall be provided.
Any damage to the existing plant drains, site perimeter cut-off drains and other drainage facilities arising out of any
construction work activity shall be immediately reported to the Environment Control Officer (ECO) / Lend Lease.
Any obstruction to flow of the drainage systems shall be immediately and completely cleared, and the damaged
drain shall be repaired or reinstated.

3.4 Protection of Exposed Earth Surfaces
Close turfing or paving shall be carried out promptly to prevent soil erosion at site where possible. This
requirement shall apply to all barren ground not affected by construction activity. The area to be turfed shall be
clean weeded and all weeded materials together with other undesirable materials like stones, wood, rubbish shall
be removed and deposited in the approved dumping grounds. The ground shall be levelled. Good quality topsoil
free from rubbish, roots, stumps and other extraneous materials shall be spread evenly to a thickness of 100mm
and lightly watered. All turfs used shall be healthy, vigorous and green. Turfing should commence as soon as the
topsoil is spread. If delayed, and should there be wet weather, the topsoil will be washed away or eroded. If this
happens the topsoil will have to be replaced before the commencement of turfing.
Earth littering can cause dust nuisance and siltation of drains at the construction site and also public drains. The
contractors should take the following actions to prevent such littering:
Do not overload Lorries transporting earth.
Ensure the earth is adequately covered before moving off or exiting the site.
Cover all vehicles carrying refuse, construction debris or any other load completely and adequately before
they leave the construction site.
Ensure that the tyres and undercarriages of all vehicles leaving the construction zone are clean before
leaving the worksite.
All trucks and vehicles leaving the site will be checked for overloading of earth, soil, sand, waste or debris by site
security officers. Security shall not permit the exit of any vehicle that is overloaded or where the load is not
adequately contained.
The undercarriage and wheels of all vehicles will be washed down at the truck wash bay to ensure that it is clean
and clear from earth before exiting the site. Sub-contractors to deploy workers at the vehicle washing bay to wash
down their vehicles. Security officers are to check and ensure all vehicles leaving the site are washed and clean.
All construction vehicles leaving the site shall be cleaned thoroughly to avoid any road littering. In the case that
such road littering does occur, it will be cleared up immediately by the responsible subcontractor.

Portable wheeled bins of smaller capacity will be provided where necessary to facilitate the transfer of wastes from
work areas where possible, including the transfer of wastes from higher floors.
All waste bins must not be overloaded beyond water level. Filled bins shall be removed promptly and replaced.
Timber wastes should be consolidated and cleared promptly to prevent the harbouring of vectors.
Excavated earth/soil and concrete waste stockpiled on site should be covered with suitable material to prevent
erosion. It should not be placed near a storm drain or obstructing access.
Hazardous wastes / chemical wastes are not permitted to be stored or collected on site. These are to be strictly
removed from site by the responsible contractor and disposed off-site responsibly through licensed waste
collectors.
Indiscriminate dumping of construction wastes and food wastes can occur due to laziness or ignorance of
consequences. Daily inspection and toolbox talks are required to prevent and remind workers of such.
Waste streams that will be recycled are as indicated in Table 1. Such wastes will be collected by licensed waste
collectors and recycled off-site. Monthly reports of recycling shall be provided by the waste collector to Lend Lease
for environmental reporting purposes. This report should include the amount (i.e. weight in tonnes) of each waste
type collected and amount that has been recycled. This requirement must be communicated to the Commercial
Managers who are responsible for the issuance of the packages for procurement.

Stagnant water To clear it or provide proper drainage Immediate
A licensed pest control company will be engaged to control vectors and pests on the project. An internal vector
control team under the Supervision of the ECO will also be formed to complement the efforts of the licensed pest
control company. In general, the pest and vector control visits and treatments by the pest control company will be
on a weekly basis. Where required, e.g. during rainy seasons, this frequency may be increased to twice or more a
week to ensure effectiveness of the pest and vector control measures.The ECO shall verify and ensure that all
pesticides used by the pest and vector control operator is of the non-toxic and environment friendly type.
Mosquito control is vital in preventing the spread of mosquito borne diseases such as malaria and dengue, which
is very common in Malaysia. Mosquito control measures by the pest and vector Control Company will include
search and destroy, larviciding and thermal fogging on weekly / biweekly basis. Thermal fogging should be
avoided where possible and only carried out in accordance with criteria stated in Code of Practice for
Environmental Control Officer.
The licensed pest control operators will also conduct mosquito surveillance activities using equipment such as
pipettes, dipper, torchlight and labelled bottles to detect larvae. The pest control operator shall provide reports of all
pest control and surveillance activities carried out for each visit. Reports shall be filed on site by the ECO.
In addition to these efforts, the site vector control team will conduct daily search and destroy which includes oiling
and larviciding of site areas, especially where water ponding are evident.
Daily inspections will be carried out by the ECO / EH&S personnel (using the Daily Environmental Inspection
Checklist) to detect areas of water ponding and mosquito harbouring sites. Once detected, such areas shall be
cleared and appropriate measures taken to prevent water ponding and harbouring of mosquitoes in the future.

6.0 AIR POLLUTION CONTROL
Good housekeeping will be maintained on the site areas at all times. All areas will be swept clean to reduce dust.
Where possible, vacuum cleaners will be used in preference to sweeping for better efficiency of dust removal.
Sand and aggregate stockpiles will not be kept on site. During hot dry weathers, the roads should be wetted
regularly to keep dust down. Storage (if any) periods should be as short as possible.
Access roads which are heavily used and covered with dust can be a source of air pollution when strong winds
blow or when vehicles pass by. Site hardcore haul roads will be watered where required to minimize dust
generation.
Cement should be stored in designated areas (refer to latest utilization plan) to prevent accidental damage to the
bag that allows cement to spill onto the ground where it may be picked up under strong wind conditions and be
suspended in the air. Cement bags once opened must be fully emptied. Unfinished cement bag should be bagged
and kept or stored in enclosed shelter. Unwanted or left over cement should be discarded promptly.
Maintenance regimes of machinery will ensure that machine do not give off fumes and are regularly maintained.
For works which involve grinding and hacking, watering down will be carried out onsite.
Open burning is not permitted on site.
Where possible, subject to design, water-based and/or solvent free paints will be used. If this can’t be avoided,
paints with low-VOC (volatile organic compound) content will be afforded preference. If workers are at risk of long
exposure of activities with VOC emissions, to ensure they are equipped with appropriate PPE.
All paints, fuels and chemicals must be kept in leak-free and labelled containers and kept tightly covered at all
times to prevent fugitive emissions. Material Safety Data Sheets stating the product specifications and
manufacturing handling guide should be provided. Solvents, paint and fuel containers should be disposed with lid
on.

6.3 Control of Engine Exhaust Emissions
Regular monitoring is required of the contractor to check diesel powered equipment to ensure they do not emit
excessive black smoke. If excessive black smoke is detected, the equipment must be shut down and repaired or
replaced.
All engine driven plant and equipment must be inspected and maintained minimum monthly to ensure they are in
good working condition.
All vehicle engines must be turned off when not in operation or use e.g. during loading and unloading. No idling is
allowed.
The project site is located in the centre of other contractors and J Corp Building. As such, it will be subject to the
Environmental Protection and Management (Control of Noise at Construction Sites) Regulations. Hence,
continuous noise monitoring will be conducted during the course of the project.
Communication link between project and the affected residence will be established. Community Engagement
Manager will be actively engaging residences to update them with the development in the project. This will also
allow residents to feedback to the project if they are concerned with out noisy activities.

The piling works for the project will employ bored piling methodology. The former uses piles which are hydraulically
pushed into the ground rather than hammered in, thus producing significantly less noise. For pile cutting works,
excavator mounted hydraulic pile crushers will be employed as much as possible. This method is more productive
and produces less noise than the traditional manual pile hacking using pneumatic breakers.

7.2 Engineering Noise Control
Old and poorly maintained plant and vehicles will create more noise from engine, fan and exhaust system. Regular
maintenance will be performed to ensure smoother and more efficient performance of these systems. Where
required, they may also be acoustically modified using engine enclosures, silencers, damping or even re-design of
systems.
Localized noise barrier systems or screens will be employed where required to minimize propagation of noise
beyond the noisy works zone.
Works involving high noise levels will be avoided where practicable during plant operating hours to minimize
inconvenience to plant personnel and operations.
TRX site office should be constructed with the long facades facing north
and south as far as possible. This orientation, with the majority of window
openings on the long façade, will maximize wind cooling and minimize
intake of heat from the sun, thereby reducing cooling requirements.
The air-conditioning units of the old site office will be conserved and
reused for the new site office where possible. If any new units need to be
purchased, these shall be of the energy efficient type with a minimum 5
stars as per Malaysia Energy Labelling Scheme.
Electrical appliances purchased for the site office shall be of the energy efficient type; these will include
refrigerators, microwaves, copiers and printers. Energy efficient T5 lighting or LED lighting will be used for the site
office. The use of diesel generators for power will be minimized.

8.2 Conservation of Water
All water and sanitary fittings used for the site offices and toilets shall be of the water efficient type.
Water taps using in the site office pantry, toilets, canteen and wash sinks must be self-closing.
Treated wastewater from the silty water treatment system will be used for truck wheel washing.
Paper used for printing and copying shall be procured from sustainable sources e.g. produced from farmed trees
or recycled paper. Printers and copiers shall be set for double sided copying / printing by default. All used waste
paper shall be collected and sent for recycling (Refer Section 4).
All staff and contractors shall be reminded of good energy and resource conservation practices to be employed on
the project. Posters shall be displayed at the site offices and notice boards to spread the message on energy
conservation.
1. Switching off all lights and electrical appliances including meeting room monitors when not in use. Sectionalise
your lighting arrangements to prevent wastage of electricity.
2. Switching off the air-conditioning units when leaving the room or office.
3. Never leave the water running unnecessarily.
4. Report all broken taps, fittings and pipes immediately so that repairs may be made. Leak detection to the tap
systems where possible.
5. Always use double sided copying and printing.
6. Dispose of all unwanted and used paper in the designated recycling bins.

8.5 Resource and Energy Monitoring
Water and energy consumption will be metered and monitored on a monthly basis to ensure consumption does not
exceed normal levels / industry average levels. The quantity of diesel used for power generation will also be
monitored. Diesel consumption onsite will be tabulated in a template and reported in Enablon on a monthly basis.
Opportunities for the use of sustainable materials as replacements for standard materials will be explored. The use
of such materials will be specified in the respective trade contracts for compliance by the contractors where
applicable.
a) Use of paper sourced from sustainable sources or paper from recycled content.
b) Reuse concrete components for non-structural applications e.g. precast road kerbs, wheel stoppers, C7 drain
sections etc
c) Use of green concrete products, which are certified by recognised organisations e.g. SGLS or SEC for non-
structural applications.
d) Use of recycled mill waste to top site haul roads. This also greatly reduces environmental dust pollution on site.
e) Use of environment-friendly and non-toxic cleaning agents for site cleaning and hand soaps for toilets.

10.0 CONCLUSION
This programme will only succeed if the management takes control over environmental issues, contractors and
staffs initiate concerns for a clean and healthy working environment, and workers put prior considerations in their
work and daily activities.
Training by means of instruction and communication to staff and workers on their duties to keep a clean and
healthy living and working environment will be essential. Posters and signages with
environmental messages in getting staff and workers to understand the need for a clean environment will certainly
improve the situation. For example, regular campaigns and training must be held to help cultivate the recycling
mindset among workers.
