| Noise Insulation: |
Defining of Hygiene Protective Area (HPA) around Sofia Airport |
April 2002 |
HPA was defined before completion of the
new runway construction. It was prepared on the basis of traffic
and fleetmix forecast for 2007 – 2008 and in accordance with
the Bulgarian Legislation. HPA is the territory within a contour
of 60 dB equivalent noise level. |
completed |
| Preparation of Noise Protection Project
for the Territory within the HPA |
November 2002 |
The project comprises survey and elaboration
of a concept of individual and group noise protection measures within
the HPA.
• Individual Noise Protection measures: replacement
of the existing woodwork of resident buildings (inhabitable houses)
and 106 Primary School located in the HPA with aluminium windows
with index of noise insulation 35 dB or more;
• Group
Noise Protection measures: construction of a noise protection fence
on the Sofia Airport engine run-up pad.
|
completed |
| Preparation of a Program for implementation
of the noise protection measures envisaged in the project |
October 2003 |

We do not have specific data for each noise contour
level.
According to the Noise Protection Project the population within
the noise contour of 60 dB equivalent noise level is approximately
1650 people.

Since January 2005 Sofia Airport has been operating
a Noise Monitoring System. Actual noise contours will be produced
in accordance with the Bulgarian Legislation. |
