Abstract
This paper describes how the Santiago Metro has been addressing vibration control objectives on its last three lines, two of which, Line 6 and Line 3, are currently in operation, while the third, Line 7, which has just started construction (2022), will start operating in 2027. The Line 6 and Line 3 projects established ground-borne vibration control only, while the Line 7 project has established ground-borne vibration control and ground-borne noise control. To establish of the maximum levels in each case, different regulations were considered. This paper is based on the information that Santiago Metro has provided through the Environmental Impact Assessment System of Chile (SEIA) for the three lines, whose environmental processes are public.
