Three Ways How Structural Engineers Can Create a
Zero-waste Future

• As structural engineers, we have a duty not only
  to make our structures safe and sustainable, but
  also to do so to the highest standards at our
  disposal.

• Excessive waste remains a problem in the
  construction industry despite continuing efforts
  to reduce inefficiencies. Making better use of
  advanced manufacturing technologies and
  prefabrication helps you to minimise wastage.

4

• DISASSEMBLY TO DEMOLITION
• Structural engineers should choose and design
  materials that can be easily detached and
  separated from the others. A selective
  disassembly would allow components still in good
  shape to be reused in other projects and
  construction works.

5

• DESIGN FOR FUTURE FLEXIBILITY
• Engineers can ask design teams to consider
  buildings future functional implementation, in
  case of design life extension and repurposing.

6

• EFFICIENT USE OF RESOURCES
• Structural engineers to encourage the use of
  advanced manufacturing technologies to minimise
  resource consumption and creating reusable
  products without compromising its efficiency and
  performance.
