Construction demolition waste (CDW), a perspective of achievement for the city of Barranquilla since its management model. Ing. Desarro. [online]. 2017, vol.35, n.2, pp.533-555. ISSN 0122-3461.

In recent years, there has been a significant increase in construction projects in the city of Barranquilla, leading to contamination in soils and water sources due to the inadequate generation and disposal of Construction and Demolition Waste (CDW). It is clear that this is not a local problem alone but that it involves trends present at a global level, which have led several countries to design measures for an adequate management of waste generated on building sites. Some examples of this adequate management are: reincorporation of CDW in construction processes, reuse or use of CDW as raw materials, processing of CDW to be converted into mineral aggregates for concrete and asphalt and the use of CDW as mineral fillers. In this work we present results of a study carried out in 75 construction sites located at different areas of the city of Barranquilla. We have carried out a detailed survey to assess the management, treatment and final disposal procedures, thus leading to a clear identification of relevant issues to deal with in this field, as well as improvements in the knowledge in the local legislation for the management of CDW. Based on the results obtained here, we have identified that the CDW management practices that the construction guild is currently carrying out are not adequate to solve these problems and that a more practical and long term solution needs to include a proposal to improve the management model (involving use and transformation) and its posterior implementation in the city of Barranquilla.
