Avaliação do gerenciamento de resíduos de construção e demolição (RCD) da obra do Hospital Universitário dos Sertões de Crateús

Abstract

Construction and demolition waste (CDW) management represents a major challenge for sustainability and environmental compliance in contemporary civil engineering. This study presents a case study on CDW management during the renovation and expansion of the *Hospital Universitário dos Sertões de Crateús* (Hospital São Lucas) in the state of Ceará, aiming to evaluate the project's regulatory compliance and logistical efficiency. The methodology involved monitoring and comparing the guidelines of the Construction Waste Management Plan (PGRCC) with actual data consolidated via Waste Transport Manifests (MTR) and Final Disposal Certificates (CDF) through the SINIR system. Quantitative results indicated a total generation of 4,096.81 tonnes of waste, with Class A materials (concrete and masonry) predominating at 99.90%; this was driven by structural demolitions required to meet ANVISA Resolution RDC No. 50/2002. Class B waste totaled 165.85 m³, with the highest volumes occurring during the initial phase of the project due to the complexity of the new medical gas networks and electrical systems. The study also highlighted the need for rigorous handling and sealed storage for Class D hazardous waste, given the risk of soil contamination within an active hospital environment. It is concluded that CDW management for the project successfully met the guidelines of CONAMA Resolution No. 307/2002 and Law No. 12.305/2010 (PNRS), demonstrating that the combined use of the PGRCC and electronic MTR ensures superior chain-of-custody traceability and successfully diverts materials from illegal dumping sites.
