ABSTRACT
As aging civilizations continue their growth, there are needs to constantly expand the existing infrastructures such as road, bridge, rail, port and underground structures. Due to environmental concerns in urban construction, many typically simple infrastructure projects can become very complex or feasibly impossible. Physical disruption during construction works such as traffic obstruction, noise, ground vibrations and resulting air pollution are the common public discomforts, which could severely affect the business environment and quality of life. These are insoluble dilemma faced by planners and practicing engineers in constructing infrastructures to serve the general public better. Ironically, there are still lot of public complaints such as noise, ground vibrations and other physical disruptions during the execution of these construction works. Construction particularly for sustainable society should maintain the “Five Construction Principle”, in conformity with the way the general public considers construction work ought to have been from the very beginning.
