Environmental Management

Demands on the construction industry are changing, and it is now essential for environmental management to be considered at all stages of a project.

Many construction managers are finding a quantitative approach, Venture Property Services (VPS) outlines four quantitative methods which can be applied at different construction stages, and which fit within a comprehensive framework of dynamic Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA). These include:

• quantitatively evaluate and reduce pollution and hazards levels.
• evaluate the environmental - consciousness of proposed construction plans.
• reduce on-site construction wastes through an incentive reward programme.
• promote Construction and Demolition waste exchange in the local construction industry.
• to evaluate ground conditions and manage accordingly.

With an experimental case study of the application of these methods, VPS delivers a comprehensive review of environmental management issues in construction. With regulatory requirements potentially favouring the quantitative approach, VPS ensures that contractors will be able to keep pace with environmental management standards.
