ENHANCING URBAN

SUSTAINABILITY THROUGH THE

EVALUATION AND
IMPLEMENTATION OF POROUS
PAVEMENTS UTILIZING
CONSTRUCTION AND
DEMOLITION WASTE
 INTRODUCTION

Urban sustainability is a pressing issue.

Porous pavements using construction and
demolition waste can be an effective
solution. This presentation explores the
evaluation and implementation of this
technology.
 URBAN SUSTAINABILITY

Sustainability is the ability to meet the needs of

the present without compromising the ability of
future generations to meet their own needs.
Urban sustainability is the application of this
concept to cities and urban areas.
 POROUS PAVEMENTS

Porous pavements are designed to allow

water to pass through them, reducing runoff
and improving water quality. They can be
made from a variety of materials, including
construction and demolition waste.
CONSTRUCTION AND DEMOLITION WASTE

Construction and demolition waste is the

debris generated during construction,
renovation, and demolition activities. This
waste can be recycled and repurposed to
create porous pavements.
BENEFITS OF POROUS PAVEMENTS

Porous pavements have numerous benefits,

including reduced runoff, improved water
quality, increased groundwater recharge,
and reduced urban heat island effect. They
can also be aesthetically pleasing and
require less maintenance than traditional
pavements.
EVALUATION OF POROUS PAVEMENTS

Before implementing porous pavements, it is

important to evaluate their effectiveness in
specific locations. This involves testing the
permeability, durability, and load-bearing
capacity of the pavement.
IMPLEMENTATION OF POROUS PAVEMENTS

Once the evaluation is complete, it is time to

implement the porous pavements. This involves
preparing the site, installing the pavement, and
maintaining it over time.
 CASE STUDIES

Several cities and organizations have

successfully implemented porous pavements
using construction and demolition waste. Case
studies from these projects can provide valuable
insights and best practices for future
implementations.
CHALLENGES AND LIMITATIONS

While porous pavements have many

benefits, they also have some challenges
and limitations. These include higher initial
costs, potential clogging, and limited
suitability for heavy traffic areas.
 CONCLUSION

Porous pavements using construction and demolition waste can be an

effective solution for enhancing urban sustainability. By evaluating their
effectiveness and implementing them in appropriate locations, cities can
reap the benefits of reduced runoff, improved water quality, and increased
groundwater recharge.
