Also what noise readings did you take during this work?
and what mitigations did you put in place to prevent noise from disturbing nearby residents?
No noise readings were taken during this work and no mitigations were put in place.
This was a transient operation carried out on a rural section of motorway and taking noise readings was deemed unnecessary.
Information not held
What records have made of the noise
I can confirm that National Highways does not hold this information, and as such this part of your request has been refused under Regulation 12(4)(a) of the Environmental Information Regulations 2004 as information not held.
Advice and Assistance
We do not hold any noise records because we did not take any noise readings during this work.
Although you have not requested this information and it is outside the scope of your request, we thought you mind find these 2 PDFs helpful. They can be downloaded from this link EIR2024 00724 and are titled:
· 2022.10 HAV's Noise Data-Iss 4 (002)_Redacted
· Noise outputs for the works
The first PDF shows vibration and noise readings from the tools and equipment used in the assembly of the temporary barrier.
The second PDF shows noise readings taken at the work face where the site operatives were working, during the same work on the M6 but at a different site to the work carried out between junctions 43 and 44.
