A study on identification of significant environmental aspects and impacts of piling and foundation works

The construction sector, which can contribute to a nation's economic growth is vital for the development of any nation. Improper management and poor control measures in this sector could lead to negative impacts to the environment such as air pollution, noise pollution, dust problem; solid and...

Improper management and poor control measures in this sector could lead to negative impacts to the environment such as air pollution, noise pollution, dust problem; solid and hazardous waste disposal and human health. Therefore this study was undertaken to identify significant environmental aspects and impacts of piling and foundation works, which is an early phase for any construction project. Identification of environmental aspects and impacts is very important in decision making to reduce the risk and possible impact at early stage of a construction process.
