Construction Circular Transformation Implementing Low-Carbon Construction Methods
Formwork Innovation: Replacing Traditional Wood Formwork with Aluminum Alloy
To address the challenges of excessive wood consumption and waste generation in construction projects, Kedge Construction has implemented aluminum alloy formwork systems, significantly reducing resource consumption through superior durability and reusability characteristics. Aluminum alloy formwork demonstrates substantially longer service life compared to traditional wood formwork, enabling over 100 reuse cycles and post-removal recycling for remanufacturing, effectively minimizing single-use wood consumption and waste generation.
In the Taishan Staff Quarters project, aluminum formwork implementation reduced carbon emissions from 867.3 metric tons of CO2 equivalent associated with traditional wood formwork to 51.6 metric tons, achieving remarkable carbon reduction benefits of 94%. Beyond carbon reduction, aluminum formwork methodology enhances concrete pouring quality and construction efficiency while reducing subsequent repair requirements for labor and time investments.
Construction Waste Classification and Reuse Promoting Recycled Concrete and Plastic Applications
Kedge Construction actively advances on-site waste classification and reuse initiatives, transforming materials previously destined for landfill disposal into valuable recycled resources. Within the Banqiao District Fuzhong Section urban renewal project, B5category earth and stone materials generated during demolition processes, including concrete blocks and masonry materials, underwent classification, crushing, washing, and grinding treatments to produce standard-compliant aggregate fine-particle concrete. This recycled concrete found practical application in on-site areas including continuous wall guide channels, PC layers, sedimentation facilities, and vehicle washing platforms, successfully achieving closed-loop building material circulation.
The project recovered 2,826 cubic meters of construction earth and stone materials while producing 5,338 cubic meters of recycled concrete, substantially reducing dependence on natural aggregate resources. This approach addresses urban renewal demolition disposal challenges while demonstrating viable on-site material recovery and reuse methodologies.
Beyond concrete waste streams, Kedge processes plastic waste generated at construction sites through recycling and classification procedures to produce recycled plastic pellets for composite waterproof panel manufacturing applications. The Erchongpu engineering project’s recycled material implementation is projected to deliver 157.8 metric tons of CO2 equivalent carbon reduction benefits, exemplifying extended plastic resource utilization value.
Sustainable Site Office: Creating Low-Carbon Circular Construction Environments
Kedge Construction begins with the construction site itself, advancing sustainable site office development to minimize resource consumption of temporary facilities. Sustainable site offices utilize container modular design featuring detachable and repeatedly assemblable characteristics, replacing conventional temporary construction approaches while enhancing utilization efficiency and reducing waste generation. Design integration incorporates recycled building material applications complemented by solar power generation systems and rainwater collection facilities, optimizing resource utilization efficiency while reducing carbon emissions.
Over half the materials for these site offices derive from renewable resources, successfully achieving BS8001 Business Model Innovation Level 4 certification and receiving the Outstanding Award at the Fifth Taiwan Circular Economy Awards, establishing an exemplary model for sustainable facility development at construction sites.
Kedge Construction comprehensively implements circular economy principles through construction methodology innovation, material regeneration, and site facility optimization, demonstrating corporate commitment and concrete actions toward low-carbon, sustainable advancement within the construction industry.
