Abstract

There is significant potential for large infrastructure projects with multiple demolition phases to kick-start a second-hand materials market and unlock a truly circular economy. Civil engineers are well-placed to lead this by carrying out reuse appraisals, commonly known in the buildings sector as ‘pre-redevelopment audits’. The paper sets current practice and emerging policies regarding reuse in the construction sector, then describes the steps for undertaking an effective audit. The aim is to assess and maximise the reuse and recovery of materials from the start, thereby helping to reduce the industry’s overall greenhouse gas emissions.

透过进行“重建前审核”，将重用纳入基建项目

具有多个拆除阶段的大型基础设施项目具有巨大的潜力，可以启动二手材料市场，开启真正的循环经济。土木工程师可以通过进行再利用评估来领导这一工作，这在建筑领域通常被称为“重建前审计”。该文件设定了当前的做法和新政策，在建筑行业的重用，然后描述了进行有效审计的步骤。其目的是从一开始就评估并最大限度地提高材料的再利用和回收，从而帮助减少该行业的总体温室气体排放。

期刊介绍： Civil Engineering, listed by the Web of Science, is the ICE''s flagship journal. Practical and diverse in its scope, it publishes overview papers for the non-specialist on any subject relevant to civil engineering today. Topics range from landmark projects to philosophical, ethical, environmental, management and safety issues. Peer review, copyediting, and colour publication by Civil Engineering are free. If accepted, published papers are easily found by Google search, as well as in specialist citation indexes. There is also the option of making your article open access, should you wish to. Published authors receive a free electronic copy of their article to share with their peers. Furthermore, as well exposure to ICE''s 91,000-strong membership, published papers are promoted via our social media channels, accessing the wider civil engineering community. It is free to submit a paper to this journal. Papers appear Ahead of Print (below) as soon as they are ready to be published. Ahead of print articles are fully citable. using the DOI system
