Gerenciamento dos resíduos da construção civil no canteiro de obras

Abstract

The construction sector is one of the most important for generating income for the country and is also one of the most productive jobs for the population, but it is also considered one of the sectors that causes the most negative impacts on the environment. It can be noticed, in relation to the generation of waste, according to the researched literature, that there are deficiencies in the management of this waste, causing problems for the population and for the environment. Therefore, this research considered how some companies in the civil construction sector are dealing with the management of waste generated at the construction site, based on current legislation and standards. The study was based on the bibliographical review, to have a foundation on the subject and to be able to apply the concepts in the research. In addition, a survey was carried out, with the application of a questionnaire with those in charge of waste management in the companies and an on-site survey of the works, to verify how waste management was being carried out. At the end of the research, the finding that was allowed to establish is that there are opportunities for construction companies to comply with the regulations pertinent to the management of waste generated at construction sites, but, with some measures taken, it is quite plausible that they are fully inserted In construction sites.
