The construction waste management research program at the University of British Columbia - Okanagan (UBCO) is a new and emerging research and training facility. The main objective of the research program is to develop practical tools, technologies, and management solutions for Construction and Demolition (C&D) waste in construction projects, by considering the needs and expectations of the project stakeholders, environment, and general public. The most critical activity in achieving the goals of the research program is to observe current waste management practices in construction projects in all weather and site conditions without interruptions. The researchers at UBCO are currently conducting manual observations in active construction projects and landfills. They are experiencing several imitations related to weather, time, and accessibility to the work areas.
