Saudi Arabia is experiencing extensive infrastructure and urban development under Vision 2030. Construction activities associated with foundations, structures, culverts, roads, utilities and other infrastructure works can produce significant quantities of concrete waste. Uncontrolled accumulation of concrete debris can affect housekeeping, access, dust control, soil quality, site safety and the efficient use of disposal capacity. Effective concrete waste management should therefore focus not only on removing waste from the work area, but also on preventing unnecessary generation, improving material utilization, segregating concrete at source, identifying recovery opportunities and maintaining reliable records from generation through final destination. Case Study: Concrete Waste Generation … Continue reading →

Abstract Large-scale infrastructure development is central to Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030, but construction activity also generates significant waste. This article presents the waste management approach at DG-II, Infra Package-1, where approximately 130 tonnes of waste are generated monthly, equivalent to about 1,560 tonnes annually if the rate remains constant. The system covers general and construction waste generated across work fronts, offices and site facilities. Waste is segregated and temporarily stored, then collected and transported by Delta Solution, the designated waste management service provider, with final disposal at AKAM. The case study highlights how structured waste control, traceability, source segregation and … Continue reading →
