Abstract

To address the “silo effect” in construction waste management and the inefficiency of resource allocation in large-scale, multi-section engineering projects, this study developed a cloud-based regional collaborative platform for construction waste management. The platform adopts a technical framework based on Java 1.8.0, Spring Boot 2.4.4, and MySQL 8.0.16, and integrates a visual interactive interface. It supports dynamic access, data entry, quality review, and scheduling of construction waste information across multiple sections and projects. Validated through a case study on the Changhu section of the Guangdong Guanshen–Changhu Expressway expansion project, the platform successfully achieved spatial–temporal optimization of 740 thousand cubic meters of diversified construction waste across seven sections. The comprehensive utilization rate of construction waste increased by more than 25%. Practice has shown that the platform effectively promotes carbon emission reduction in earthworks, enhances resource circularity, and provides digital support for construction quality control. This platform presents an innovative informatics-driven approach to construction waste management, serving as a replicable model.
