Recycling and Waste Management

International Conference on
Efficient demolishing technology and waste management

fficient demolishing technology (EDT) is the process where
the building is studied beforehand through structural
drawings and programming. The structural drawings are
used to determine the steel and metal links that are selected
precisely centroid of the building to bear the stresses on the
columns on the floor below and in parallel the stress of other
structural members, in order to collapse the building safely.
Alongside, the concrete beams are recommended to be
injected with chemicals so cracking and dispersion happens
faster. Then the robot excavator deconstructs the building
according to the programming set, managing the construction
waste before and after demolishing process. Therefore EDT
enhances the environment by reusing the construction waste
like ((Masonry and CMU, all untreated wood including lumber
and finish materials, wood sheet materials , wood trim, metals,
roofing, insulation, carpet and pad, gypsum board, unused
(leftover) paint, piping and Electrical conduit)) and speeds the
deconstruction process with minimum noise and damages
to the surroundings. Whereas, the traditional demolishing
process, like hydraulic excavators and wrecking ball, take longer
and insufficient controlling is done on waste management.
Thus, recycling and environmental applications are not
targeted. Therefore, having EDT in the construction industry is
60% efficiency in recycling and reusing the construction waste
as well as maintaining sustainable solutions within engineering
and business.
