Assessment of carbon footprint in routine maintenance work of state road in Perak

Although sustainability focus was set majorly on construction, operation and maintenance sector must also take into account the same consideration in every activity involved. Operation and maintenance phases involve significant resources for it to remain serviceable throughout its life cycle. These...
