Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

In NSW demolition activity 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 Draft Specification is the first industry wide specification for the use of recycled materials in local roads, other pavements and civil works. The development of this Draft Specification has been jointly funded by Resource NSW (formerly NSW Waste Boards), the Institute of Public Works Engineering Australia (IPWEA) and the C&D Division of the Waste Management Association of Australia (WMAA). (a) For the covering entry of this conference, please see ITRD abstract no. E209607.
