Transport Sector Reform and Modernisation in Myanmar
Client:
Asian Development Bank
Country:
Myanmar
Duration:
April 2019 - December 2019
Services:
- Measurement: ambient air quality (NOx/NO₂, SO₂, CO, BTX/VOC and particulate matter)
- Measurement & modelling: noise for daytime, evening and nighttime values as well as impact of vibrations on population and structures
- Water samples and measurements: physical parameters (conductivity, pH value, oxygen) and chemical parameters with laboratory analysis
Project objectives
The Railway Modernisation Project of a 226 km long railway track included an environmental survey and the elaboration of measures to mitigate potential project impact.
Project description
The environmental situation was assessed and the impact of the modernisation of the Yangon - Pyay railway line was evaluated. Measurements and samples were taken along the entire route and air pollutants were measured using passive samplers.
Project data
Measurement of noise, vibrations and air pollutants; sampling of water, soil and wooden sleepers; analysis of the collected data; comparison with applicable standards and guidelines; elaboration of measures to mitigate potential project impact.
