They don't look too different, but they're designed to be stronger, so they can be used multiple times. A group of major construction companies – including BAM – who run this site in Dartford, London, have signed a pledge to address the issue of pallet waste and try a new system de...
While sorting through various types of construction waste is essential to determine how to reduce its production, a well-managed site can equally contribute as well. Over 40 years of construction data, overall productivity has declined due to inefficiency in construction sites. The lean methodology i...

Explores cultural factors that enhance waste generation in construction industry.Result confirms that there is culture of waste behaviour in the industry.Non-collaborative culture, blame culture and belief in waste inevitability need change.Starting construction with incomplete document is a waste inducing ...
Designing out waste in high-rise residential buildings: Analysis of precasting methods and traditional construction The construction industry is a major generator of waste material. Construction waste should be minimized at source and if we are to significantly reduce th... A Baldwin,CS Poon,LY ...
TOWARDS ACHIEVING SUSTAINABILITY IN CONSTRUCTION: CONSTRUCTABILITY AS A TOOL FOR REDUCING PROJECT WASTETOWARDS ACHIEVING SUSTAINABILITY IN CONSTRUCTION: CONSTRUCTABILITY AS A TOOL FOR REDUCING PROJECT WASTEThis is to certify that the work is entirely my own and not of any other person, unless explicit...
aObjective of the project construction management is committed to reducing 75% (by weight) of the amount of construction waste landfill. Inevitably produces waste in the construction process should be done through local and regional waste management companies, organizations and institutions for reuse, ...
By building, running simulations, and resulting from real-world simulations, we'll understand the sources of waste, and then apply lean construction principles through methods such as just in time, reduce the batch size and resources priorities, and multi-skilled teams for the initial construction ...
Based on the conducted research, it was found that these methods are more often used with an increase in the size of the enterprise. The presented analysis emphasizes the urgent need to improve, integrate, and adjust the promotion of both the reduction of construction waste and the benefits ...
In this section, we first review studies of models and algorithms used in the field of construction waste management. Then, we review the literature on cutting stock problems. There are three main streams of research in the field of construction waste management. The first focuses on the effects...
