Predicting ground-borne noise levels from tunnelling
The Kowloon Southern Link is a section of the MTR East Rail and Tuen Ma line linking Nam Cheong and Hung Hom stations. We were brought into this project because of our particular expertise in ground-borne noise from tunnelling. Our responsibility has been to predict ground-borne noise levels in advance of construction and to interpret ongoing monitoring and continually update the predictions. Our involvement has given confidence to Kowloon Canton Railway Corporation that ground-borne noise will be properly managed, including at the Hong Kong Cultural Centre.
