Infrastructure case study
Travelodge London Docklands Central
Background
John Sisk & Son Ltd. (Sisk) constructed a new Travelodge (London Docklands Central) very close to an existing Travelodge (London Docklands), which was to be sold, demolished, and turned into a new data centre. SRL were appointed by Sisk to prepare and submit to the London Borough of Tower Hamlets, S61 (CoPA 1974) applications for the duration of the project.
Challenge
The London Borough of Tower Hamlets has some of the most stringent construction noise and vibration constraints to help protect its residents from the potential impact of construction work.
Solution
SRL have a dedicated team which focuses on this type of work and is led by personnel who have been involved with managing the noise and vibration impact of major construction schemes. Some of our team have previously worked on local authority noise teams reviewing SEMPs/CEMPs and S61 (CoPA 1974) Applications for construction works. Therefore, we know how local authorities operate and the information they need to see in this sort of situation.
We worked very closely with the Tower Hamlet EHO’s to gain agreement on noise and vibration levels for the construction project and produced comprehensive applications with appropriate noise and vibration predictions and construction method statements for Sisk, which were included within our application submissions to the local authority.
All application submissions were consented by the London Borough of Tower Hamlets, which aided in the timely completion of the project with no complaints regarding noise and vibration from the construction works.
