Shenzhen releases China's first intelligent construction noise control standard

Starting May 1, Shenzhen has implemented China’s first local standard for the intelligent prevention and control of construction noise.

The comprehensive standard, structured into nine chapters, sets forth technical requirements for an intelligent noise control system tailored for construction sites. It outlines multi-level monitoring networks and management platforms, alongside protocols for data collection, transmission, storage, processing, evaluation, alarm judgment, and overall assessment.

The standard establishes an integrated intelligent prevention and control system comprising automated noise monitoring, audio-video surveillance, and construction status monitoring units. These units will nonstop collect data, which is then processed and analyzed by a central management platform. This system enables automatic monitoring, intelligent judgment, visualized evaluation, and prompt alarm notifications to ensure effective noise management.

To empower relevant authorities in enforcing regulations and sanctioning violations, the standard emphasizes stringent quality control on data collection, transmission, and storage, as well as procedures involving data processing and evaluation. This rigorous approach ensures scientific accuracy in assessing construction site activities and ambient noise conditions.

Addressing illegal activities such as unauthorized overtime work and noise exceeding permissible levels, the standard introduces an intelligent judgment and alarm mechanism.
