Piling is the second phase of construction work after site clearing at the multi-stage development area. During the piling the structure of fundamental soil will be strengthening using a matrix of pillars into the designated location. The piling activities are known for its dominance polluter to the noise and vibration towards its surrounding. Our study focus on the collection of data for the noise and vibration levels due solely on the piling activities at various typed of land. Two types of observation on vibration were done: i using trigger value and ii using histogram. The first observation will defines the harmful/ disaster degree that might occurred due to the resulted vibration and the second one will give the vibration level for the overall activities. On the noise monitoring one session of piling was observed using sound level meter. The results for the piling activities at reclaimed area showed that the average noise level during the piling was more than 90 dBA and it reduced to 65 dBA during preparation. Noise level during the preparation however fluctuated due to the present of generator used for welding the connection of pile. The effect of piling period also could be seen from the observation. Average vibration level was always below the curve defined by USBM RI8507 and OSMRE. Only when three of pile-machines worked simultaneously for the last session of piling it gave highest value of 229mm/s. Data from other area;s observation are also illustrated for the comparison.

Abstract

Piling is the second phase of construction work after site clearing at the multi-stage development area. During the piling the structure of fundamental soil will be strengthening using a matrix of pillars into the designated location. The piling activities are known for its dominance polluter to the noise and vibration towards its surrounding. Our study focus on the collection of data for the noise and vibration levels due solely on the piling activities at various typed of land. Two types of observation on vibration were done: i using trigger value and ii using histogram. The first observation will defines the harmful/ disaster degree that might occurred due to the resulted vibration and the second one will give the vibration level for the overall activities. On the noise monitoring one session of piling was observed using sound level meter. The results for the piling activities at reclaimed area showed that the average noise level during the piling was more than 90 dBA and it reduced to 65 dBA during preparation. Noise level during the preparation however fluctuated due to the present of generator used for welding the connection of pile. The effect of piling period also could be seen from the observation. Average vibration level was always below the curve defined by USBM RI8507 and OSMRE. Only when three of pile-machines worked simultaneously for the last session of piling it gave highest value of 229mm/s. Data from other area;s observation are also illustrated for the comparison.
