Abstract

The article describes the environmental features of the production of pile works (noise, vibration), including by driving methods. They are the most unfavorable, the value of which exceeds the maximum permissible norms for noise and vibration by more than 2 times, and they are constantly growing from year to year, and this is the cause of many different diseases of people, including mental and neuralgic ones. In this regard, individual and collective methods of dealing with noise are recommended, as well as silent and low-noise methods of piling work, protected by the a.s.USSR and patents of the Republic of Belarus for inventions and utility models.

Highlights

  • Environmental protection and the protection of workers' health are two of the most important problems of our time in all countries of the world

  • The noise level at work and at home can reach over 100 dB and exceed 1.5-2 times the maximum permissible noise standards and it is constantly growing from year to year by 1.5-2 dB, and this is the cause of many diseases of people, including neuralgic, which make up almost 80% of the total number of people with this disease

  • About 2/3 of the complaints of the population (65%) are filed with the courts for compensation for moral damage caused to the health of the population, and another 1/3 - for compensation for material damage caused to residential buildings and buildings adjacent to construction sites where construction work is underway

Summary

Introduction

Environmental protection and the protection of workers' health are two of the most important problems of our time in all countries of the world. In some countries of Western Europe, for example, France, Great Britain, Asia and America, Japan, Singapore, New York, where there are many high-rise buildings, the production of piling works by hammering and other shock methods is prohibited by law due to the high level of vibration and excessive sound pressure that occurs during the operation of piling equipment, as well as the need to protect and preserve historical values, monuments, buildings and structures, as well as human health This has prompted many construction firms to switch to other shock-free, silent and low-noise methods of pile foundations, technologies and types of piles - from hammered to stuffed and bored (Strauss piles, Benoto, Franks, vibro-stamped, vibro-punched, non-hammered, frequency-rammed and others), and firms producing pile hammers and copra, to rebuild to improve and produce machines with their improved technical and technological characteristics, with sound-proofing casings, rubber penetrations, anti-vibration devices and devices (many firms in Germany, USA, England, Sweden and Japan)
