1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 Cinotech Consultants Limited was commissioned by the China Harbour Engineering

Company (Group) (hereinafter called “the Client”) to conduct a Sound Power Level (SWL) assessment for the Grab Dredger (GD-853 40305V) on 14 May 2003. The Client intended to evaluate the sound power level of the equipment for the application of construction noise permits. On-site noise measurements were conducted.

1.2 This report presents the noise assessment results and determines the sound power

level of the powered mechanical equipment (PME) mentioned above.

2. ASSESSMENT METHODOLOGY 2.1 The SWL measurement and calculation were follows to the procedures detailed in

ISO 3746-1995 (E), Acoustics – Determination of sound power levels of noise sources – Survey method.

2.2 A sound level meter with fast response mode was used for the measurement. The

meter was calibrated with a B&K 4231 acoustic calibrator before and after the measurements. The calibrations were checked to within ±1.0 dB(A).

2.3 A Laser Gun model no. (Criterion 300/400) was used to measure the distance between

the sound level meter and the noise source. 2.4 The instruments used for the measurement are summarised in Table 2.1 as below.

Table 2.1 Instrument List

Equipment Model Sound Level Meter B&K 2238 Sound Pressure Calibrator B&K 4231 Laser Gun Criterion 300/400

2.5 The measurement positions for dredging mode operation are shown in Figure 1. 2.6 The sound pressure level Leq (5 mins) of the PME in dredging mode was first

measured at the measuring points, and then the background noise level of Leq(5min.) was measured without the PME running. The measured noise levels were then averaged logarithmically to obtain the value of L'pA (for the PME in operating mode) and L''pA (for the background). The value was then corrected to account for the influence of background noise, by deducting a correction factor k. The noise emitted from the PME alone can then be found.

2.7 The sound power level is then calculated with the use of the following formula:

LWA = LpfA + 10 log (S / S0) dB

where

LWA is the equipment sound power level, dB(A); LpfA is the A-weighted sound power level of the source, dB(A); S is the area of the measurement surface, in square metres; S0 reference distance (1 square metre)

k = - 10 log [ 1 - 10 -0.1 (L'pA - L''pA) ]

where

L'pA is the A-weighted sound pressure level averaged over the measurement

surface, in decibels, with the source under test in operation; L''pA is the A-weighted sound pressure level of background noise averaged

over the measurement surface, in decibels;

For the rectangular parallel-piped measurement surface,

S= 4 * (ab + bc + ca)

where a=(l1/2) + d, b= (l2/2) + d and c= l3 + d,

l1, l2, l3 are the dimensions of the rectangular reference parallelepiped; d is the measuring distance.

4. CALCULATION

Dredging Mode Difference in L'pA – L''pA : 70.8 – 58.5 = 12.3 dB(A)

Background noise correction factor : 0.00 dB(A) Area of measurement surface : 9192 m2

Sound power level:

LWA = LpfA + 10 log (S / S0) dB = (70.8 – 0.00) + 10 log (9192/1) = 110 dB(A)

5 CONCLUSION 5.1 The maximum sound power levels of the Grab Dredger GD-853 40305V is 110

dB(A).
