Sustainability in construction and civil engineering

Sustainability is one of the important aspects of the engineering. It protects the project from surroundings and living eco-system.

The projects involve use of machine, structure demolition, using green premises and many more.

The reason for sustainability:-

• Generation of waste material
• Vehicular emission
• Noise pollution of heavy machine and vehicular use.
• Discharging waste materials.

Waste products: The waste products could create harm to environment. It is advisable to reuse it after minimization of waste.

These are some steps that make the construction-misuse suitable,

Eliminate – Avoid constructionsquander in the first place.

Reduce – Reduce the amount of waste you produce.

Reuse – Recycle the construction wastes.

Recover – Reprocess after reused it.

Dispose – Arrange of what is left in right way.

Building materials: Use of river sand and gravel has some harmful impact on the construction. It needs mining on the river bed misbalanced the eco-system. Now the use of alternate building materials is rising.

Now hit this link to get more knowledge about it. Now a day, the use of green building has been increased. These are energy efficient buildings. Otherwise transparent concrete can be used.

Some tips and tricks:-

First of all, decrease the supply chains reducing transport costs.

Train waste minimization and reprocessing the construction.

Building orientation is important. Mark it as it can reduce the energy.
