Construction and Demolition Waste Module Week 3 Post-Lecture Resources

Following our site visit this morning, it is important to consider the different components of the site assessment. The Demolition: Implementing Best Practice document published by AggRegain and WRAP in the UK sets out a demolition example to include the: pre-demolition audit; demolition site layout plan; material recovery strategy; health, safety and environmental considerations; training requirements and risk management. This document and the Demolition Protocol published by the Institute of Civil Engineers in the UK provides an excellent starting point to develop your pre-demolition audit and pre-construction site waste management plan. Two case studies which may be of interest are the Help Nightclub in Rio de Janeiro and the Wembley Development. To identify potential waste treatment options, you will need to identify what waste management companies are licensed to manage and treat the different waste fractions that will occur on site by accessing the EPA database.
