reply: &#8220;Our investigation revealed that the contractor was carrying out diaphragm wall concreting work and road diversion during the time of feedback.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-secondary pt-md text-18 font-normal leading-1.5 text-grayscale-800\">&#8220;Our checks of the noise levels recorded revealed that the contractor had exceeded the noise limits, and we have taken enforcement action against the contractor.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-secondary pt-md text-18 font-normal leading-1.5 text-grayscale-800\">&#8220;We have reminded the contractor to be considerate to nearby residents when carrying out work, and implement local noise mitigating measures on site where possible, to reduce the noise disamenity.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-secondary pt-md text-18 font-normal leading-1.5 text-grayscale-800\">&#8220;We have also requested LTA, as the developer of the project, to work with the contractor to follow up on the concerns regarding construction noise from the worksite, and ensure that adequate noise mitigating measures are implemented.&#8221;<\/p>\n<hr class=\"border-t border-primary-200 mt-xl mb-md\"\/>\n<div class=\"flex w-full flex-col gap-md py-md xl:flex-row
