Substitution controls
Substitution controls can include:
- using bending machines, pressing methods or glue instead of hammers
- lower materials carefully instead of dropping
- use mains powered electrical equipment instead of diesel generators
- use radiation drying instead of flow drying
- use laser cutting in place of sawing, grinding or punching
- use hydraulic breaking or bursting techniques rather than pneumatic impact breaking methods for demolition
- lower impact noise by reducing the driving force
- adapting plant and equipment by extending the guarding and line with acoustic dampening material
