prosperous us numbers, civil construction forecasts growth of 4.5% this year, according to research carried out by Prospecta Analytica. But so much prosperity in the financial field also brings the need to save resources and raw materials, as well as guarantee a sustainable environment for the work, so that its production costs are minimized, also contribute to the sector’s numbers and, of course, to the environment. Technology companies develop software that guarantees reduce from up to 40 to 5% waste in works.
In the field of technology used in civil construction, such advances guarantee the use of more durable inputs, made from materials that are less aggressive to the planet. like potteryso essential in this area, in addition to using software and artificial intelligence that contribute to the modernization and assertiveness between design, planning and construction site.
For the civil engineer Efraim Sombra Braga, responsible for adding the use of new technologies in the works in order to reduce the waste of raw materials and, consequently, the environmental impact, the industry is increasingly receptive to innovations. “With technological advances, civil construction is adopting new solutions, such as 3D modeling, drones and automation for more efficient resource management and greater precision in construction processes. This allows for detailed planning and optimization of the use of materials,” he explains.
Braga brought ceramics as an example of an input, so widely used in our construction sites, and listed 5 benefits of this type of raw material for civil construction:
Sustainability: Ceramic bricks are made from natural materials such as clay and can be produced sustainably. Furthermore, they can be recycled or reused following a building has been demolished. Fire resistance: Ceramic bricks are fire resistant, which means they do not contribute to the spread of fire. This helps to increase safety in buildings. Durability: Ceramic bricks are known for their strength and durability, which makes them a reliable option for construction. Acoustic insulation: due to its density and acoustic properties, ceramic bricks can reduce the transmission of external noise, providing a more peaceful and comfortable environment. Thermal insulation: Ceramic bricks have insulating properties that help regulate the internal temperature of environments. They can help keep the temperature more stable and reduce the need for excessive heating or cooling systems.
The characteristics mentioned are just a few that can be observed regarding the benefits of using ceramics in the construction environment.“These are some of the benefits, advantages and positive impacts of ceramics in civil construction, contributing to the sustainability and development of more efficient buildings and friendly to the environment”, he adds.
At the other end is the need to “look at the environment”. More than taking care of trees, in civil construction, the “green” issue necessarily involves economy in the use of resources, mainly water, in addition to producing less rubble, noise pollution and, of course, making modern constructions that bring environmental impacts when it is ready and in operation. “The reduction of waste in construction benefits the construction site and the population. Sustainable practices and reuse of materials minimize the generation of waste, resulting in a cleaner and more organized work environment. This reduces the environmental impact and disposal costs. In addition, it improves the quality of life by preventing pollution and promoting a healthy and sustainable environment”, concludes the engineer.
