Construction Phase

To facilitate monitoring and control over the contractors’ performance on waste management (for both advanced works, and river modification works and the associated works), a waste monitoring and audit programme will be implemented throughout the construction phase. Site inspections will be undertaken each month. Particular attention will be given to the contractor’s provision of sufficient spaces, adequacy of resources and facilities for on-site sorting and temporary storage of C&D materials. The C&D materials to be disposed of from the site will be visually inspected to ensure the absence of non-inert materials (eg general refuse, timber, etc). Furthermore, the waste to be disposed of at landfills will as practicable contains no observable inert or reusable/recyclable C&D materials (eg soil, broken rock, metal, and paper/cardboard packaging, etc). Any irregularities observed during the site inspections will be raised promptly to the contractor for rectification.
