Arup has been commissioned by the Environmental Protection Department (EPD) of the Hong Kong Government to design, develop and maintain an online platform to streamline the assessment and submission of construction noise management plans for the authority’s review and approval. Leveraging our expertise in digital and acoustic consulting, the project will underpin EPD’s adoption of technology to improve public services.
The digital solution will enable consultants and planners as well as the authority to quickly evaluate the noise impact of proposed construction works and facilitate the approval process, bringing the power of geo-spatial analytics and automation into an intelligent analytic-enabled data platform. The platform, which will be completed in early 2023, is estimated to significantly speed up the submission and approval process compared with the conventional and complex spreadsheets.
