Factors Influencing Waste Generation on Construction Project and Waste Management by Six Sigma Principle
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 3
Abstract
the construction industry plays an important role in establishing the infrastructure required for socio-economic development. It is one of the biggest environmental polluters and it also consumes large quantities of raw materials. Near about 1.3 billion tone of solid waste is generated round the world and 50 percent of it comprises of construction waste. The cost of construction project increases significantly due to the amount of waste generated. Researchers have found that the overall cost of construction rises by 15-20 percent due to waste; where material comprises 60-65 percent of the total construction cost for any project. So it is obligatory to develop a proper management system to reduce the amount of wastage. in this paper an attempt is made to understand & identify the causes of waste on construction site and waste prevention method and the wastage level in construction site. A quesstionnarie survey was made in tow different areas one is urban area and second is rural area in order to find major material and reasons for the contribution of waste. Analysis done using spss soft tool discovers the main reasons & material contributing to waste generation. For waste reduction six sigma principal is applied for the major waste calculated from abc analysis. Also in this study the waste prevention methods such as reduce, reuse, and recycle are significantly used which is also called as 3r concept.
