Sustainable Management for Highway Construction
Highway construction, as one of major consumers of nonrenewable resources, is responsible for achieving sustainability with respect to materials and structures. These materials are exhaustible. Access to aggregate resources is increasingly limited by growing environmental regulations and permit requirements. This paper focuses on some materials that are involved in highway construction. These materials are consumed in both construction and maintenance activities. The data used is from a state Department of Transportation (DOT) contract history for the years 1986 to 1995. The analysis conducted in this paper shows that recycling is one significant parameter that produces savings in materials, funds, and energy. The main objective of this paper is to provide a management approach for increasing paving operation sustainability.
