| Abstract: |
The world needs a sustainable and climate resilient construction practices because of the desire to reduce environmental pollutions, save natural resources, reducing health hazards, minimize waste and save the project cost. Environment scientists are saying that use of natural resources is one of the greatest sustainability challenges of the 21st century, means a commitment of finding and implementing efficient construction practices are to be developed by the engineers for a sustainable future. One of such engineering initiative undertaken is narrated as case study of re-using the dismantled concrete drain in a highway widening project of India is thus undertaken to exemplify and motivate the engineers to adopt a smart and environmentally-conscious choice of saving the resources. |
