Introduction<\/h3>\n

Waste is any substance or object(s) the holder discards or intends to discard. Any material which is perceived to have no further use is waste.Waste becomes more a product because of the cost and location of aggregates and other new materials and also because of the cost of disposal. These two factors drive the definition of waste. If you have easy availability of landfill and large quantities of aggregate close at hand you will not get a premium on the use of recycled materials.<\/p>\n

Concept of construction waste<\/h3>\n

Construction waste consists of unwanted material produced directly or incidentally by the construction or industries. This includes building materials such as insulation, nails, electrical wiring, and rebar. Much building waste is made up of materials such as bricks, concrete and wood damaged or unused for various reasons during construction. Observational research has shown that this can be as high as 10 to 15% of the materials that go into a building, a much higher percentage than the 2.5-5% usually assumed by quantity surveyors.<\/p>\n

Efficacy of waste allowance<\/h3>\n

The following benefits can be achieved if estimators use waste allowance while pricing:-<\/p>\n

\u00d8 Cost savings<\/p>\n

\u00d8 Financial benefits<\/p>\n

\u00d8 Financial benefits<\/p>\n

\u00d8 Identify the actual cost.<\/p>\n

\u00d8 Uses materials efficiently<\/p>\n

\u00d8 Ensure that waste issues are considered and addressed<\/p>\n

\u00d8 Comparing against estimates and targets<\/p>\n

Encouraging Prevention of Construction Waste<\/h3>\n

In general the environmental advantages of using reclaimed or recycled materials are greatest if the material or product is used in the highest grade application possible. For example one should process demolition rubble and use it as aggregate for a new concrete rather than just using it for fill. <\/p>\n

Waste arriving methods in construction materials<\/p>\n

Flooring:- cutting of floor tiles to fit room layouts<\/p>\n

Ceilings:- cutting of ceiling tiles and fixing to fit room layouts<\/p>\n

Insulations: -cutting of insulation boards to fit openings<\/p>\n

Tiling: -cutting of floor and wall tiles to suit design and rooms shapes<\/p>\n

Paving::-cutting of paving slabs to fit layout<\/p>\n

To reduce waste on construction sites certain general recommendations may be made, e.g.<\/p>\n

\u00d8 Need to critically assess the quantities ordered<\/p>\n

\u00d8 Review the ordering procedures <\/p>\n

\u00d8 Manage deliveries <\/p>\n

\u00d8 Protect materials during storage<\/p>\n

\u00d8 Only take the material that is needed<\/p>\n

\u00d8 Return surplus materials to stores<\/p>\n

\u00d8 Protect materials at the work-site<\/p>\n

The Different Waste Types<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
\n

Visible Waste<\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\n

What you see in the skip.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

Process Waste<\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\n

Badly designed procedures or working practices that lead to inefficiency, ineffectiveness and errors. Waiting and searching for someone\/something\/information is a big invisible waste.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

Transaction Waste<\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\n

Transactions are people-to-people activities such as communications, excessive planning\/discussions and delayed project handovers. The idea of \u2018lost time\u2019 is an invisible waste.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n<\/td>\n\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

The waste produced by the construction industry is not just a burden on the environment and the ecological system, but it is also a huge cost to the industry itself. <\/p>\n

For example:<\/h3>\n

\u00d8 Transport cost of \u201cexcess\u201d material to site<\/p>\n

\u00d8 Cleaning and collection of \u201cexcess\u201d material and waste<\/p>\n

\u00d8 Transport of waste from the building site<\/p>\n

\u00d8 Waste disposal costs<\/p>\n

\u00d8 Better project planning: planning of material requirements (exact quantities), planning of material deliveries to site and planning of material usage<\/p>\n

\u00d8 Organized waste disposal<\/p>\n

\u00d8 Increasing the level of recycling of construction waste<\/p>\n

Solving the problems of waste disposaltouches many vendors involved in the construction project: the owner, designers, contractors, etc. It starts from making it a concern already at initial stages of the project planning and continuing it through the design phase. Contractors and sub-contractors can play their part by better project planning which will also reduce their material and waste disposal costs bringing them a direct financial benefit.<\/p>\n

Reduce<\/h3>\n

\u00d8 Reduce the amount of money spent on waste.<\/p>\n

\u00d8 Reduce waste disposal costs, e.g. handling charges, transport and taxes\/levies.<\/p>\n

\u00d8 Reduce the amount of raw material used.<\/p>\n

\u00d8 Reduce the amount of waste on site.<\/p>\n

\u00d8 Reduce transport of waste movements to recycling centres or landfill.<\/p>\n

\u00d8 Reduce the amount of effort used to do a repetitive job.<\/p>\n

Improve<\/h3>\n

\u00d8 Improves efficiency on-site.<\/p>\n

\u00d8 Influence worker habits while a relative degree of choice exists for disposal costs\/options.<\/p>\n

\u00d8 Better jobsite tidiness = improved health and safety.<\/p>\n

\u00d8 Improves the site image.<\/p>\n

\u00d8 Improves site management processes.<\/p>\n
