Abstract
The objective of this research project is to evaluate the feasibility of sustainable Engineering Infrastructure through a comprehensive analysis of modern method of practices used in construction industry in Australia. Sustainability plays an important role in creating a better future for present and future generations and is morally supported by all existing philosophies and religious entities. Sustainable Engineering is an essential factor in driving sustainable planet.
This particular research project is primarily based on the road infrastructure and the improvements modern day Engineering has been able to achieve through the use of recycled waste materials as a replacement for aggregates whilst building them. Road Sustainability is significant because it tackles a number of environmental, social, and economic issues. Planning and building sustainable roads envision to form a balance between the need for transportation infrastructure and the needs of the environment, community well-being, and long-term economic sustainability. Sustainable road practices are becoming increasingly important as societies and governments become more aware of these issues.
The research project was initiated with literature reviews on different Engineering Infrastructure built through the sustainability standpoint, materials used and challenges whilst operating and maintaining them as compared to traditional Australian Construction Industry. This evaluation was primarily focused in evaluating the road infrastructure (Being the largest form of land Transportation) located in Queensland. The data and information to assess the selected infrastructure (road) taken through the authentic website through government official page and relevant information are accordingly provided in the methodology section of the report.
With the data and information provided in the methodology section of the report, it seems imperative even though Sustainability plays an important role in maintaining a circular economy and mitigating climate changes, it has been limited to small number of infrastructure expenditures. Whilst government has rigorously implemented waste management and Resource Recovery Strategy to protect natural resources, it still remains an uphill task to endorse sustainability in other parts of the Engineering Infrastructure Expansion. It is believed that the necessity for driving sustainability as a social responsibility for all Engineers remains paramount across different sectors to ensure that the society gets benefits in many ways for present and future generations to live.
