Construction Development or Environment Safety-THIRD PRIZE WINNING ARTICLE OF BUDDING ENGINEERS

THIRD PRIZE WINNING ARTICLE-Construction Development or Environment Safety
What You Want??
Engineering plays an important role in social, economic and country development.
This is the branch that takes the responsibilities of all the development like economic
development, social development and also in the environment development. Without
this we can’t imagine the growth of our nation. All the major factor depends on the
engineering, so we have to make a proper planning & proper implementation of any
project.
Moving towards main concern or major point i.e. how engineering effects the
whole factor. Basically engineering means new idea or creativity so we should have a
proper knowledge about that project. As a civil engineer we have to design certain
buildings & structures that may effect the surrounding badly if it was not properly
maintained.
Civil engineering involves lots of construction work that influence the environment.
Structures, Buildings & any other construction had a certain things that effect the
environment, like during construction there is use of many machinery that consume
lots of sources like energy, fuel etc. Also there is production or emission of many types
of gases. It is consider that civil is the 2nd largest cause of air pollution. According to
one survey that is taken by experts that in 2030 emission is going to increase by 1.8
times.
During construction such types of sources are used that is quality decreased
rapidly if its use is continuous such as our fuels. One major example is thermal plant
construction that uses lots of coal every day for the production of energy/electricity but
it produces lot of gases, fly ash, etc. Total energy used in only construction of
infrastructure is very high.
Construction and Demolition waste (CDW) is very high. Major and minor
components are generated ( Major components:- cement, concrete reinforcement etc.
& Minor components are conducts, pipes etc.)
Construction and Demolition waste till date have no proper solution. About 112 to
431 million tonnes of Construction and Demolition waste is produced in 2016. We
know India is a developing country, when old buildings are replaced by new structures
then waste material of that old buildings has no effective solutions.

When Dams or any other structure that is constructed in water there is large
disturbance in aquatic life. There is no proper migration of aquatic animals. Dams are
constructed to store water but during heavy rainfall when water rises to HFL (High
Flood Level) suddenly the water is run off from dam, that leads to flood situation.
Thus we can say that civil engineering is branch that effect the surrounding. If
there is no growth or development there is lack of economic, social & environmental
growth because infrastructure is the sign of development. On the other side if we
construct building or taking the importance of infrastructure then we are going to
disturb our environment sources, aquatic life etc.
Construction gives us good appearance of surrounding but it may effect the
environment badly. So we need a proper balance between the construction &
environment.
