Project Information
ESB is constructing three aero-derivative gas turbine projects at Poolbeg, Ringsend and Corduff sites in Dublin, with each of these sites capable of generating up to 65MW.
Environmental Control Measures
The construction works will take the local area into consideration. By engaging with the relevant local stakeholders such as Dublin City Council and the Environmental Protection Agency ESB is managing the site and implementing suitable mitigation measures to ensure the development has minimal impact on the surrounding area.
Environmental Control Measures
These mitigation measures include extensive monitoring of the site, monitoring factors including but not limited to the following:
- Noise Levels ( N1, N2)
- Dust levels (D1,D2)
Monitoring Results
The construction works noise is monitored at each point by a Larson Davis Model Lxt noise monitor. This is an integrating sound level meter which measures the standard sound level parameters.
Dust levels around the site are to be measured by allowing dust particles to settle within Bergerhoff sample jars which are left exposed for a month at monitoring locations. The jars are then sent to a laboratory for analysis. The accepted limit for dust if 350mg/sqm/day.
