BENGALURU: Solid waste management department will spend ₹18.49 crore for Construction and Demolition (C&D) debris disposal on roads under BBMP.
Construction and Demolition (C&D) debris will be cleared from main roads, under flyovers and along outer ring roads. Two packages have been called for tender and have been finalised. Tenders have recently been invited for selection of Project Consultant (PMC) for this work.
Building debris is being disposed of by Bangalore Solid Waste Management Company (BSWML). Two package tenders costing ₹8.27 crore and ₹10.22 crore have been finalized and tenders have been invited for PMC. This is the final disposal process.
According to a survey conducted in 2021, there is about 2.47 lakh cubic meters of Construction and Demolition (C&D) debris on the city's main roads, under flyovers and on the sides of outer ring roads. It is considered as 'Legacy Waste' and the plan is to dispose of it once.
C&D waste is estimated at 150 roadsides in the city. A contract has been awarded to remove and dispose of this waste once. This C&D waste should be disposed with safety measures through GPS equipped vehicles. The contractor shall identify the quarries where these wastes are disposed of. BSWML Executive Engineer Madhu said that it is the tender rule that they should do all the maintenance.
Collection of building debris from owner
Demolition debris is a major problem for builders under BBMP and as a solution, BSWML plans to start a scheme of 'Building Waste Collection from Owners'.
Construction material waste falls during new building construction or renovation. It is being put out by a tractor or someone. But if the BSWML new scheme is implemented, the contractor appointed by BBMP will carry the waste from the site or building site itself. Dispose at the designated place.
Finalize the contractor, who charges a lorry or tractor load of C&D waste. The owner contacts the BBMP and pay the fees, contractors carries the waste. The project is in the Detailed Project Report (DPR) stage, BSWML officials said.
