Abstract

ABSTRACT With construction waste accounting for 40% of all waste produced in Australia, this paper evaluates front-end strategies to minimize physical site waste on Australian projects. Front-end strategies are those practices at the initial phase of the material logistics chain that will reduce or totally remove site waste, rather than simply treat the residual waste product. Following a global literature review, a qualitative methods approach using a pragmatic research framework was developed. The respondent sample for this research was from across the spectrum of Australian building and construction industry, varying from industry company directors to general superintendents. The paper observes that the historically rapid increase in construction waste will be exacerbated by the very real increasing risk of waste due to recovery from disaster damage (bush fire, flood and storm surge coupled with climate change). Increasingly intelligent front-end strategies that minimize waste have therefore become a high priority for action. It is concluded that the most effective way to reduce construction waste in Australia is via regulatory change, requiring policies and procedures that focus on front-end strategies. This paper explores some opportunities for action in the areas of management, design and procurement in line with the themes identified in the surveys

前端建筑垃圾最小化策略
摘要由于建筑垃圾占澳大利亚产生的所有垃圾的40%,本文评估了澳大利亚项目中最大限度减少现场物理垃圾的前端策略。前端策略是指在材料物流链的初始阶段,减少或完全清除现场废物的做法,而不是简单地处理残余废物。在全球文献综述之后,开发了一种使用实用研究框架的定性方法。这项研究的受访者样本来自澳大利亚建筑业的各个领域,从行业公司董事到总负责人不等。该论文指出,由于从灾害破坏中恢复(丛林大火、洪水和风暴潮,再加上气候变化),建筑垃圾的风险确实在增加,这将加剧建筑垃圾的历史性快速增长。因此,减少浪费的日益智能的前端战略已成为行动的高度优先事项。得出的结论是,在澳大利亚,减少建筑垃圾的最有效方法是通过监管变革,需要注重前端战略的政策和程序。本文根据调查中确定的主题,探讨了在管理、设计和采购领域采取行动的一些机会
