5 Procedure

5.1 Waste Classification

The project Works will be executed in stages, broadly split into: construction early works and
mobilization, construction of permanent plant. The volumes and types of waste generated at
each phase vary depending on the type of activities ongoing, total workforce employed and
equipment working.

Within the project, the following waste management process shall be implemented:

 Collection / accumulation
 Segregation
 Disposal (transportation)

Waste from different sources should not be mixed unless it is known to be safe and compatible.

The following waste streams had been identified:

 Soil (stockpile)
 Metal /steel scrap
 Scrap of electrical wiring (combination of copper wires and PVC)
 Used oil from construction equipment
 Used oil filters from construction equipment and generators
 Rockwool
 Concrete
 Paints
 Medical waste (very minor)
 Plastics (from transportation package)
 Wood (pallets, boxes, plywood, etc.)

Waste streams are classified into three categories:

1. Domestic and municipal waste (in site offices)

2. Non-hazardous industrial and commercial waste
3. Hazardous waste:
- radioactive waste
- medical waste

 1. Domestic and municipal waste include household and similar wastes, which have chemical
and physical characteristics similar to those of household such as garbage (food remains),
paper, cardboard, plastic, cans, etc. Disposal of such waste will be routed to Municipality
disposal facilities.

2. Non-hazardous industrial and commercial waste includes any non-hazardous wastes that
have physical and chemical characteristics, or both, that are different from domestic wastes
such as construction wastes, glass, scrap metal, wood, used containers, tires etc. Non-
hazardous wastes shall be disposed off at the point allocated by the Municipality.

3. Hazardous waste is being classified being hazardous because of its quantity, concentration,
or its physical, chemical or infectious characteristics. Hazardous waste shall be classified in
accordance with the UAE applicable local regulations.

Wastes shall be properly segregated into different types, so that opportunities for re-use and
recycling are not compromised by, for example, mixing hazardous and non-hazardous wastes.

The following wastes shall be re-used/refilled:

- chemical containers
- toner cartridges

The following wastes shall be collected segregated and used for recycling if applicable:
- concrete, soil, sand, etc.
- steel rebar cuts
- wooden items
- sewage wastes
- paper
- cardboard
- glass
- plastic bottles & containers

All other wastes shall be disposed in accordance with UAE laws and regulations.

5.2 Waste Collection, Segregation and Disposal

Domestic wastes generated in the site offices or at the workers rest areas shall be collected in
local waste bins then accumulated after segregation in the Waste Accumulation Station.
Sufficient number of waste bins shall be provided and a daily collection procedure shall be
adopted to avoid unacceptable accumulation of wastes.

Collection of waste generated at the construction site shall be affected by means of garbage
chute originating at the highest possible level down to a preliminary accumulation area at the
ground floor level. Wastes will then be transported via bobcats or wheel loaders to the
designated accumulation area outside the building where it will be segregated then disposed off
outside the site.

indicate the designated areas
 receptacles (containers, bins etc.) shall be clearly marked specifying which type of waste
they contain and their hazards
 liquid hazardous waste shall only be stored in secure, bunded areas, with an impervious
base, able to hold the contents of 110% of the largest container stored in it
 storage areas shall be open to the air, but hazardous wastes shall be protected by
protective coverage (e.g., from sun, rain etc.)
 suitable spill cleans up materials shall be kept available close to the designated storage
area
