The environmental component in engineering projects - Nayara de Freitas Nogueira Silveira - Bog

Road engineering projects are made up of various disciplines that vary according to the purpose and the works to be carried out. In general, before a project is conceived, during the planning phase, a technical, economic and environmental feasibility study (EVTEA) is carried out on the project so that, once its technical feasibility has been confirmed, the respective projects can be drawn up and the work carried out.In Brazil, in order to minimize the impacts of works on the community and the healthy quality of life of present and future generations, an administrative process was created to monitor and curb excesses committed by entrepreneurs. This is environmental licensing, an instrument of the National Environmental Policy (Law No. 6.938 of August 31, 1981).This study addresses the need for environmental sustainability in civil engineering works by proposing more efficient ways of working on projects, through a survey of practical solutions that promote the governance of sustainable development in the country's road infrastructure.
