Specification for supply of recycled material for pavements, earthworks and Drainage

Open publisher page 3 citations

Abstract

In NSW the construction industry generates approximately 930,000 tonnes of masonry material every year. In the past this material was sent straight to landfill. More recently, there has been increased recognition that this material is not a waste, but a valuable resource. It can be used in a variety of civil applications and perform to predetermined standards. The 'Specification for Supply of Recycled Material for Pavements, Earthworks and Drainage' is the first industry wide specification for the use of recycled materials in local roads, other pavements and civil works. Its development is a joint initiative between Resource NSW, the Institute of Public Works Engineering Australia (IPWEA) and the C&D Division of the Waste Management Association of Australia (WMAA).
