Environmental degradation is not specific to certain borders. Dealing with it is efficient for environmental protection to solve the many environmental issues faced by modern societies such as water and air pollution, industrial accidents, and hazardous waste among others (Croitoru, Sarraf & Arif, 2010). Concrete is a complex mixture of aggregate, cement, and water that primarily constitutes a basic and vital construction material. There are various ways that apply in the preparation of concrete, which result in varied inherent characteristics. Concrete is a key component in the construction of various structures such as brick walls, bridges, poles, and perimeter fences. Concrete is also useful in the construction of swimming pools, water dams, water reservoirs, water pipes, pavements, et cetera. Concrete technology has been applicable in construction for many centuries (Griffith 2011). There are various strains of concrete depending on the mode of production and the ratio of its components. Production of concrete seeks to ensure that the final product possesses vital qualities such as strength, durability, and ability to withstand heat and chemical action. Key components of concrete include aggregate, cement, and water. Aggregate refers to large pieces of material that constitute concrete. In most cases, aggregate comprises blasted rock pieces and finer constituents such as sand and gravel (Griffith 2011). The aggregate is usually complete by a proportionate addition of cement. Portland cement is a very popular additive in the preparation of a concrete mixture. However, other materials serve a similar purpose as that of cement. Such materials include fly ash and slag cement. Another key constituent of concrete is water. Water adds to the mixture of materials thereby producing a viscous substance that produces items in various shapes (Griffith 2011). To ensure the attainment of desired strength and durability, concrete undergoes the process of hydration. The process of hydration facilitates the reaction between water and cement, thereby establishing a compact bond that guarantees strength and durability. Various chemical components determine the specific properties of concrete. For instance, they slow down or accelerate the hardening of concrete after preparation. Such chemicals also serve as vital components in determining the inherent qualities and properties of concrete. Concrete is relatively ductile and less resistant to tension forces (Griffith 2011). This necessitates the use of strong materials such as copper to reinforce concrete and ameliorate its ability to withstand tension forces and the effects of external agents of wear and tear. Implications of environmental management for a proposed project Fresh motors of concrete are toxic to life in the marine. Runoff from equipment’s washing, leaking, or disposal of concrete eventually drains into waterways. This can cause serious degradation to the environment. In addition, it is also forbidden by law and mostly results in a penalty from the appropriate management system followed by a notice to clean up (Moncmanová, 2007).
