The vibrations were transmitted through the ground surface, and the noise – by air. Before the start of these construction works, preliminary tests were carried out at the construction site in order to determine the so-called vibroacoustic ambient background and analyze the water-soil conditions for the propagation of waves in this subsoil. The empirical scope of admissible values of vibrations and noise coming from construction working equipment during earthworks connected with digging of diaphragm walls on the construction site to the nearby surroundings was established using the empirical method.
