Handling waste materials in bridge repairing and road construction
Purkumateriaalien kasittely siltojen korjauksessa ja tienrakentamisessa
Finnish National Road Administration, Savo-Karjala Road Region, commissioned this work. The aim of this publication was to find out what wastes come from bridge repairing and road construction and also to solve environmental impacts of the wastes. In addition the related law was studied. Extra attention was focused on what to do with residue soil. Another goal was to make a checklist for environmental demands in bridge repairing. At first the wastes of bridge repairing were listed because most of those wastes are similar to road constructions wastes. After that the environmental impacts of the wastes were studied. Finally the checklist of environmental demands in bridge repairing was done. The wastes were concrete, steel, asphalt, non-impregnated wood and residue soil and hazardous wastes. Wastes, without hazardous wastes, had very small impact on environment or health. Most of the wastes could be utilized in road construction but only the residue soil can be utilized without environmental permission. Wastes can also be recycled. Hazardous wastes were washing wastes, sandblast wastes, impregnated wood, asbestos, water insulations of bridges and contaminated soil. Hazardous wastes had severe impacts on environment and health. All hazardous wastes must be separated into fractions before transportation to the dump. In the checklist all wastes and their environmental impacts were taken into account.
