Quantificação dos Resíduos na Construção Civil: Do Processo Construtivo à Gestão, Estudo de Caso

Abstract

The construction industry is one of the most important economic activities in a country, playing a key role in the development of today's society. However, the generation of construction waste (CCW) has been causing problems and environmental damage. As a result, Laws and Norms were created to reduce, reuse and manage this waste. Thus, the present work aimed to analyze the generation and identify the amount of Civil Construction Waste, produced by a reinforced concrete work in the municipality of Inhumas/GO, from a case study. For this, technical visits were carried out in loco to find the critical sources that generate waste, proposing constructive and management solutions to minimize its generation. In addition, the volume of the CCW was measured, tabulated and separated, according to type, source and generating constructive stage. As a result, 8 types of waste and a volume of 32,491 m³ of CCW were identified, from the beginning of the work to the external plastering phase. It was thus possible to observe that a large part of the waste generated comes from the lack of an engineer responsible for the work for correct management, in addition to the absence of projects and lack of concern for the environment that the construction company seemed to demonstrate. Thus, the present case study shows the need for greater environmental awareness, in addition to the need to correctly allocate the CCW. This practice deserves greater attention in small works in cities in the interior of the state.
