Control measures will be implemented to limit dust and other emissions during construction

Excavation and Waste Management Crossrail has committed to limiting adverse impacts upon local communities and the environment so far as is reasonably practicable and to remove, whenever possible, excavated material by rail and water transport. Noise and vibration Crossrail recognises that the route of the railway runs close to local communities and to some residential areas. Construction works and the running of an operational railway will contribute to noise in the local environment. Where the potential for significant impacts from noise are predicted, Crossrail will implement measures to control and limit noise as set out below.

Air quality

Construction and demolition works can generate dust from construction activities and emissions from the vehicles and plant used on site. These emissions could include sulphur dioxide, carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxides.

Crossrail recognises that many of the worksites are located in the vicinity of local communities, and will implement measures to control and limit emissions which will affect some residents and other sensitive receptors as far as reasonably practicable.

During construction, control measures will be implemented as set out in the Construction Code (Annex 1 to the Environmental Minimum Requirements).
