Abstract:

A sustainable development is required within the construction sector, in order to cope with an increasing population in a built environment that already suffers from high energy consumption. Green building certification systems, such as BREEAM and LEED, function as tools to support sustainability of buildings in the design, production, maintenance and operation. In green building projects, green requirements are added to the traditional project scope for the buildings in order to achieve certifications. Green buildings tend to be more complex than traditional buildings without high green requi

Construction industry leaders who neglect to implement appropriate project funding strategies harm business operations and lose profits. Inadequate funding is also a significant cause of project failures in the global construction sector.

The way people view development is changing. The world now advocates for a development that also considers future generations.

Sustainable development is a broad concept that addresses how human activities impact on the economic, environmental and social well-being of an ecosystem; however, practical application of the sustainability concept is complex because its objective assessment is elusive.

Geotechnical engineering has a crucial role to play in enhancing sustainability due to its pivotal role in the construction process where potentially impacts are highest. Currently, there is a lack of methodologies for assessing geotechnical projects that truly encompass the three core pillars of sustainability. A robust system is required which offers an holistic approach that is both flexible and easily understood, whilst not being biased towards rewards or is prohibitively costly. In addition, ‘tool fatigue’, whereby a system is generated but never used, must be avoided. After a detailed ev

These factors are; the impact of violence upon local development, the implications of antecedent social practices for formal structures, political power in the creation of local institutions, understanding of the physical realities of mining, and equity within the local miner
