1. Environmental Requirements and Mitigation
The following sections discuss a number of management techniques available to control the environmental risks and
impacts associated with the construction of the Design & Build of swimming pool Project.
1.1 Noise and Vibration Control
Noise and vibration from construction activities is often unavoidable but can nearly always be minimized in some
way. All project Contractors shall identify in their method statements all activities with the potential to produce exces-
sive noise.
Appropriate control measures shall be assigned by the Contractor based on Best Practicable Means.
The following sections detail the methods which shall be employed by all Contractors to minimize the impact of noise
from the Design & Build of swimming pool works.
1.1.1 Noise Requirements
On-shore noise limits are detailed in Appendix 1
Extract from Executive By-Law of Environmental Protection Law 2002 (Supreme Council for the Environment and
Natural Reserves). Contractors shall ensure that all activities conform to these limits during the construction process.
1.1.2 Noise Monitoring
It is unlikely that noise levels generated from on-site activities will extend far beyond the site boundary. However
noise monitoring programs shall be employed by the Contractor on activities that have the potential to impact sensi-
tive receptors.
The monitoring period shall reflect the duration of the activity being assessed and shall be undertaken outside normal
working hours and during public holidays if appropriate.
Following the completion of a background noise survey, a compliance monitoring program, developed in consultation
with the engineer, shall be implemented to monitor noise levels from construction activities. Should the increase in
noise levels be found to be excessive, Contractor shall review the current mitigation measures?
All noise monitoring programs shall be prepared in consultation with the Resident Engineer.
1.1.3 Noise Mitigation
The following noise mitigation measures shall be implemented by BNITC and Sub-Contractors:
 All plant shall be well maintained with adequate engine guards and silencers fitted
 Noisy plant items and activities shall be located away from sensitive receptors
 Generators and stationary plant including batch plants shall have acoustic covers fitted which shall be closed
during operation
 Haul roads shall be well maintained
 Minimize the use of horns as a means of communication between plant operators in locations proximal to
sensitive receptors
 •Minimize material drop heights into hoppers, trucks and other plant
 Introduce a weight limit on sensitive roads to reduce impacts of vibration
 Noise screens shall be installed between the noise source and receptor and as close to the source as possi-
ble.

1.2 Air Quality Management
The key impacts to air quality from construction activities are dust, emissions from vehicles and plant and odors. All
Contractors shall identify in their method statements all activities with the potential to impacts the local air quality.
Appropriate control measures shall be assigned to these activities based on Best Practicable Means. All Contractors
shall implement a dust suppression management plan prior to commencement of work and continually monitor the
presence of dust during construction works.
Specific mitigation measures are listed in the following sections.
1.2.1 Air Quality Requirements
Ambient air quality limits are detailed in Appendix 1 Executive By-Law of Environmental
Protection Law 2002 (Supreme Council for the Environment and Natural Reserves)

following mitigation measures shall be implemented by all Contractors:
 Ensure that all equipment and plant is serviced and maintained in accordance with manufacturers specifica-
tions
 Prohibit tampering with construction equipment to increase horsepower or to defeat emission control devices

4
 Ensure that any plant observed emitting excessive exhaust emissions is removed from service until correc-
tive maintenance has been carried out
 Consider the use of alternative fuel technologies
 Switch off engines when not in use
 Use vehicles that comply with applicable air pollution standards of Qatar.
 Ensure that generator emissions do not exceed regulatory standards or install pollution control equipment.
1.2.4 Odour Control
During excavations, made ground that comes into contact with the air may become highly odorous. All Contractors
shall identify in their method statements all activities with the potential to produce malodors. Appropriate control mea-
sures shall be assigned to these activities based on Best Practicable Means.
All excavations shall be subject to a risk assessment and as a result it may be necessary to monitor for the presence
of methane, carbon dioxide and sulfide. If these gases are identified close to excavations smoking shall be prohibited
and non-sparking equipment shall be used. For all other odor control issues, Contractors shall use the following miti-
gation measures:
 Utilize odor suppressants where practicable and deemed necessary
 The burning of wastes or tires is strictly prohibited
