The draft proposes that the construction unit should compensate the actual residents within the scope of the impact of night-time construction noise, according to the test report and on-site verification, to determine the scope of the residents to be compensated for the signing of the compensation agreement. Compensation standards by the construction unit (or in conjunction with the relevant units) and the residents within the scope of the impact of night-time construction noise negotiation to determine.

Failure to issue compensation in full and on time, immediately stop the night construction

The so-called night construction, refers to the period from 22:00 to 6:00 the next day, engaged in crushing, demolition, pouring concrete, large-scale machinery to clean up the behavior of construction operations. The exposure draft proposes that construction units should consider important activities, important meetings, heavy air pollution warnings, extreme weather warnings, traffic restrictions and other factors as factors affecting the construction period, to reduce the phenomenon of night construction to catch up with the deadline due to the tight schedule.

To apply for approval of night construction documents, the construction unit should be commissioned by the inspection and testing organizations to determine and issue a night construction noise impact range test report, and according to the test report results and on-site investigation and verification of the results, to confirm the scope of the noise impact of the construction of the night to be compensated within the scope of the residents, the actual occupants of the compensation, the signing of a compensation agreement.

How is the compensation standard determined?

Maintenance work.

The so-called noise-sensitive buildings refer to hospitals, schools, institutions, research units, residential and other buildings that need to be kept quiet; noise-sensitive buildings in concentrated areas, refers to the medical area, education and scientific research areas and institutions or residential areas.

In the noise-sensitive buildings in the concentrated area, due to national or Beijing key projects, production processes require continuous operation, or other special needs, there is a need to carry out construction operations at night to generate noise, the construction unit should be at least 5 days before the night construction, to the project area housing and urban-rural construction authorities to submit an application, after approval before the night construction.
