Adoption of Best Practice
• On site crushing of
concrete waste mixed
with soil to use as
backfill behind
retaining walls
• Use of filter fences to
protect wadis from
run off and
sedimentation
Adoption of Best Practice
• Use of Areca plates
for serving operatives
food reduces food,
water consumption
and waste
• Protection and
preservation of
existing trees and
vegetation
Adoption of Best Practice
• Vegetation removed
chipped and turned
into compost
• Coir rope used for
walk ways instead of
nylon rope with plastic
tape
It Does Make A Difference!
• 18mm ply wood usage on target against
tight tender allowance
