Background
Environmental issues arise throughout any construction project and are
increasing as legislation gets tighter and construction sites become
more challenging to meet the changing needs of development, transport
and energy generation. People working in construction have to be aware
of their environmental obligations and the benefits that good practice
will bring at every stage from the initial feasibility studies to
design, construction planning and actual works. Mismanagement of water
on construction sites can lead not only to environmental damage but to
serious legal and economic consequences.
