Description
This module makes it possible to have a precise analysis of pollution and waste arising from building sites, treatment options and explore opportunities to add value to waste. This module explores the impact of logistics on a building site in relation to environment and financial performance and opportunities to optimise performance
Aims
To realize savings on the waste processing upstream of the building site by a better analysis of the existing situation. To develop waste resulting from the building site in order to realize substantial savings. To understand waste production and treatment to identify efficient methods of practice. To realize savings on the cost of logistics building site by a better analysis of the situation. To develop this logistics building site in order to realize substantial savings as well on the estimated one as on the execution
Learning Outcomes
By the end of this module the student should be able to:
1. *
2. To analyze the depollution of the building sites as well as the treatment and the valorization of waste compared to what exists
3. To analyze the waste emitted by the building sites, to define their treatments and their value in order to reduce the costs
4. Capacity to develop a charter clean building site
5. To analyze the logistic need for a building site and to deduce the assessment carbon from it
6. To define an optimization in order to reduce the environmental impact while controlling the financial budgets
Indicative Content
1 Soil contamination:
Various types and classification of pollution of ground, their transport, their treatments as well as the analysis of the costs
