Description

The solution involves the selective demolition of buildings, followed by the sorting and processing of the resulting construction waste using appropriate technology. The aim is to separate different waste types, reduce the amount of waste requiring disposal, and enable its reuse or recycling. Suitable construction waste can be processed, for example through crushing and sorting, into recycled aggregates or other materials suitable for use in construction. The demolition process and waste management practices take into account the requirements of waste management legislation.

Economic benefits

Recycled construction materials can, under suitable conditions, offer a cost-effective alternative to certain primary construction materials. Depending on the material properties, availability and requirements of a specific project, they can be used, for example, for backfilling, road and pavement sub-base layers, reinforced surfaces and car parks. The economic benefits may also include reduced expenditure on purchasing new materials and transporting construction waste for further treatment. However, the actual savings always depend on the specific project and local conditions.

Environmental benefits

Material recovery from construction waste helps keep materials in circulation and enables their use in subsequent construction activities. The use of recycled materials can therefore help reduce the need for the extraction and processing of primary raw materials when they replace them. It can also reduce the amount of construction waste sent to landfills. However, the extent of the environmental benefits always depends on the type and quantity of waste processed, the quality of the resulting material, how it is used, and the requirements associated with its processing and transport.

Examples of implementation of the solution in practice

Selective demolition of an apartment building for the municipality of Topoľčany, including the removal of internal asbestos-containing materials (vertical service pipes)
Sorting and recovery of construction waste, namely concrete and soil, with the resulting recycled materials subsequently used to construct a reinforced forest road in the cadastral area of Ihráč.
Selective demolition of structures at the Mojtín quarry.
