Design structure and materials

A waste management report that link with construction school design for civil engineering. I will upload an instruction from the tut for the whole report. I need you to write only the waste management part.

1.2 Coursework 2 – Design of School and Roads

This is a group assignment. You will be allocated to groups of approximately 5 students. The group work will be peer assessed throughout, and your report should include a ‘contents page’ which lists which group members have taken part in the writing of which section. Each report submitted must be signed by all members of the group. If there are problems with any group, please let the Module Leader know, and appropriate action will be taken. Note that the group allocation will be on a random basis.

The Task

You are to design a Secondary School with an access link to existing roads. The school will neighbour an existing Community Centre which houses a library, a medical centre (GP practice) and children’s play area. You are to design the School and Roads to the requirements of the ‘client’, who will be informed by customer choices – these will be termined by market surveys conducted by the year groups in weeks 2 and 3. 3 de Your Group is free to choose location of the School, which can be either real or completely fictitious. However, justification of your designs including the water and energy supply must be provided throughout the report. Your School must show evidence of sustainability, in terms of both construction and operation.

You will need to work out the traffic (volume and type) using the Access Road based on the capacity of your School; then design the horizontal alignment with an assessment of safety, cost and environmental impacts. Traffic management and materials used to construct the Road will be discussed. The potential noise and air pollution by this development scheme need to be evaluated and the mitigation measures proposed.

Reports and Presentation

Your group must submit two reports (one Design Report, one Sustainability Report), and an oral presentation. They should contain the following:
