Department of Public Works and Highways(DPWH)

To whom it may concern, I am Jessica Disonglo, a 4th year BS Civil Engineering student from the Polytechnic University of the Philippines - Manila. My researchmate and I are currently conducting an undergraduate research study entitled "Development of a Concrete Waste Forecasting Model for High-Rise Construction Projects in Metro Manila." Our research study aims to develop an estimation model that can help forecast and minimize concrete waste in building construction projects. As we strive to ensure the effectiveness and practical applicability of our model, we are reaching out to ask whether your esteemed department might have ongoing high-rise building construction projects within Metro Manila. We are particularly interested in gathering data on unused concrete or concrete waste generated during the construction phase. Our data gathering will be conducted from March to May 2024. This data will serve as a valuable input for our research, enabling us to refine and validate our forecasting model effectively. We can assure you that any information provided will be used solely for academic purposes. We believe that collaborating would greatly enrich our study and contribute to the advancement of sustainable construction practices in the region. Furthermore, any insights or data shared by your team will be duly acknowledged in our research findings and publications. Thank you very much for considering our request. Should you have any concerns, kindly let me know by replying to this thread or by sending me an email to [email protected] . We look forward to the opportunity to discuss this matter with you in more detail. Warm regards, Jessica Disonglo PUP - Manila
