In our generation, many have developed several ways to maintain cleanliness in the
construction site and observing proper allocation of waste products. Some have
even thought of innovative ways that could rebuild waste into something useful.
Engineering industry, being one of the leaders among the industries that exist, is
thriving business across the world.
Problem Statement
Due to inappropriate distribution of waste production from the companies in
construction, the people within Metro Manila encounter garbage crisis to its massive
and urgent overhaul nearly to the river or streams which destroys the system of the
water and land properties. Construction waste must be segregated which means the
company should ensure there project must reliable for the instances of facilities
where the people near to their site which covers the excavated material for an
example. Also leachate or liquid runoff where the levels of contaminants leak to
untreated groundwater, a source of water and fisheries resources. When this crisis
continues with environmentally and socially absence, the function of the system in
waste reduction, reuse, recycling and disposal might be disregarded.
In spite of this instances the government of MMDA (Metropolitan Manila
Development Authority) and DENR (Department of Environmental and Natural
Resources) provides a lucrative business for this waste that spent annually around
3.54 billion from waste collection and disposal. The sanitary engineers make an
incremental step to accommodate logical path for the waste from the companies
which enable to be efficient in their use of materials. Constructing large sanitary
landfills could be a solution for some engineers typically to the problems of leachate
for the levels of contaminants that was used. Unfortunately when the landfill was
being minimized, improvement of environment and lessen of carbon emissions, this
issue required specific allocation which the quantity of the production could access
and not be violated. So every contractors in a companies seek a responsibility of
waste control to redress the problems arising from the site and near domestic
houses.
Objectives
The main case of this study is to rend the proper allocation of the waste production
from the construction which is in the process which seeks improvement and
development of the land and water system which the companies:
Determine the design and specifications which can contribute for the amount
of waste generated during the construction of the project within Metro Manila
Know how to classify those waste being discharge
Evaluate the strategies used from construction activities from its location
Identify the concept of mass production and placement of the waste
production primarily from the distribution of waste management plans
To find out the effective implementing waste reduction solution and become a
green construction for the next level of construction
importantly, this research will make the clients aware whether this this industry is
actually fulfilling its responsibility towards the society.
