Our Lunch and Learn CPD offering now includes sessions on Construction and Air Quality.
Our Construction CPD covers a wide range of related topics including:
- What are noise, vibration and dust
- Regulatory framework COPA EPA nuisance
- Process of obtaining consent for works that may cause noise, dust, or vibration
- Noise Management: Sources of construction noise (e.g., machinery, equipment, demolition); Mitigation strategies (e.g., noise barriers, scheduling noisy activities appropriately); Monitoring noise levels during construction
- Dust Control: Types of dust (e.g., silica, particulate matter); Health risks associated with dust exposure; Dust suppression techniques (e.g., water spraying, dust collectors); NRMM and transport emissions
- Vibration Awareness: Types of construction-related vibration sources; Human and asset response to vibration; Measures to reduce vibration (e.g., using dampening materials, proper tool maintenance)
- Monitoring and Compliance: Real-time monitoring during construction and demolition; Address compliance with noise, dust, and vibration limits; Importance of accurate data collection and reporting
We also discuss case studies showcasing lessons learned and best practice examples
Our Air Quality in Planning CPD looks at –
- What are air quality and air pollutants, NO2 and PM, other pollutants and health and amenity effects
- LAQM framework, AQMA AQFA AQAP
- National Planning Policy Framework, IAQM guidance
- Baseline air quality and monitoring
- Air quality as a material consideration
- LA requirements, Supplementary Planning Documents, planning conditions
- Air Quality Assessment, Site suitability, traffic and building emissions, air quality emission mitigation, damage costs, air quality neutral and positive
- Assessing significance of effects
- Mitigation measures and good air quality design
- Construction stage dust and AQ effects, monitoring based on risk
We also discuss case studies showcasing lessons learned and best practice examples.
