Diretrizes para redução de impactos ambientais nos canteiros de obras

Abstract

One of the greatest challenges of today's society is how to maintain its development in a more sustainable way, not harming or at least reducing the impact caused to the environment, in order to avoid irreparable damage to future generations. Civil construction in this aspect plays a relevant role, since it is one of the sectors that most harms the environment and has the greatest demand for natural resources. The goal of this work is to propose the implementation of sustainable actions in the construction sites, listing the main environmental aspects and impacts of the processes carried out in the site and providing viable solutions that will end or at least mitigate their effects. The main environmental aspects generated at the site are related to the generation of solid waste, water consumption and electric energy. The proposals for sustainable actions include the management of waste in accordance with Resolution No. 307/02 of CONAMA, including donation of material for collectors' cooperatives; reuse of water for less noble ends; and environmental education of employees to reduce the consumption of other materials and reduce waste.
