Lava Rodas: uma inovação tecnológica para minimizar impactos no canteiro de obras

Abstract

The word sustainability has been used extensively by various segments, industry, mining, academia, civil construction albeit belatedly also incorporates this concept, pressed by customers, laws and society as a whole, the sector awakens to a new model building, where it is considered primarily the use of resources and materials, the space where the project develops, the energy and water consumption, waste generation, and finally the environmental impacts arising from construction increasingly present in urban centers . From these concepts needs arise parameter set to meet sustainable practices, as well as recognition marketing around these issues, confirms the emergence of environmental seals and certifications around the world as Breeam, GreenStar, Casbee, HQE, Nabers, LEED, and even nationally AQUA, Procel and Selo Azul da Caixa. It is noteworthy LEED certification for recognition and acceptance on a global scale and in Brazil, especially in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. In Minas Gerais several ventures timidly still are in search of that same recognition criteria of sustainability, such as the Building Forluz, the object of this study, which claims the stamp to validate their practices in sustainable designed project, the construction phase and operation of the building. It is understood that currently the focus of sustainability is primarily on energy efficiency and reducing consumption of water, however the construction phase, even though it represents a short time compared to the durability of the building is significant to the surrounding population. One of the main criteria is the control of environmental pollution of the work, specifically the control sediment. Thus this study focuses on the feasibility of adopting a technological innovation, which is a lava rodas, to minimize impact on the construction site, a strategy that meets the LEED, customer demands, laws and values the good relationship with the environment.
