I want you to research on different types of Noise Mitigation Schemes that have been carried out in the UK. The schemes should be under (Noise Barrier Installation, Road Surfacing Schemes and Traffic Management e.g. speed control) etc. The research should be done in a tabular form please. For each case study, I want you to discuss why it was initiated, the location, when it was carried out, the noise level before and after the scheme, the number of people affected within the area the scheme was carried out, the total installation, maintenance and life time cost of the scheme. You should also briefly speak about how the scheme will be maintained. Please you need to do at least two schemes for each (Noise Barrier, Road Surfacing, and Traffic Management). I have attached a table below which you should use in carrying out the report please. It should be just two pages and in tabula form. Please you should include references within the whole report. All your figures, number of people etc should be referenced and you should explain how you approximated number of people affected. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me. After you complete the schemes for each mitigation measures, I want you to write briefly about how cost effective those road schemes are based on noise LEVEL reduction or people impacted (USE WEBTAG FOR THIS). Please this report should be carried out properly and in detail.
