On the basis of this discussion the paper concludes with the view that the well-being of future generation should be taken into consideration by the construction industry.
Wembley stadium
The stadium was razed in 2002 to be reconstructed in 2006 to a 90,000-seating capacity stadium. The new £757 million Wembley Stadium (NAO, 2003) is now about thrice as big to its earlier size with its arch positioning 140 metres extended from its concourse, which is huge enough to be looked over by the whole of London (Quintain, 2004)
The hand drill can grind, buff, and brush wires with other accessories. Hand drills are available in many types, shapes, and sizes that can accommodate accessories with shaft diameters of different lengths and drill bits of different sizes. Hand drills have a number of uses from the house, shop, and workshop and even at factories depending on their sizes.
This paper aims at investigating the specific use of thermoset polymer material with specific focus on polymer related issues. The focus will then be shifted to FRP composites as a material for the manufacture of structural elements, describing its properties, the process of manufacturing that are relevant to bridge engineering, and assortment of tendons, cables, bridge deck systems, and structural profiles.
The paper discusses some of the major issues that have been considered in safety of using a material hoist. Safety is a key concern in the construction and design of a material hoist. The hoist must be designed in a manner that it will have the capacity to carry the materials up and have a powerful motor that will not reverse in the process of lifting heavy loads.
The paper tells that in the modern industrialized world, construction usually involves the translation of designs into reality. The lack of awareness/low level of education of the construction workers, multi level subcontracting, high mobility of workforce etc can be considered prime reasons for construction hazards in many countries.
The purpose of this research is to investigate the following: sustainable materials; natural ventilation process; thermal mass; facade integration; case studies. Sustainable technologies and sustainable methods utilized in construction can be useful for us not only in controlling the carbon emissions into the environment but also makes the economy a sustainable economy.
Although the working population in the construction sector is only about 10%, it still accounts for 30% of the work casualties and 40% of the fatalities in Japan. Hong Kong has the highest construction hazard rates. Falls from height, crashes, excavation accidents, being hit by an object, etc are common construction hazards.
The research throws light on solar energy as a renewable source of power that derives from the light and heat energy generated by our Sun. Common solar power based technologies in use in the UK are solar photovoltaics in the form of panels or roof tiles for producing electricity and solar water heating installations or 'thermal collectors' for producing heat.

Practically, MSA provides a safety function most especially for the drivers to stretch and relax their stressed muscles due to driving for at least 20 minutes for every two hours travel (Highways Agency, 2012). In the past few decades, it has been observed that most MSAs were put up only to provide the basic needs of motorist which are food, toilet/wash, and fuel, without much concern on the surrounding environment.
These are part of the built environment that plays a key role in ensuring the safety and comfort of roads and highways users. Developers play a key role in the process. They design and build these facilities in conjunction with customers, communities, government agencies, rules and regulations, among others.

Introduction
Human beings have always had a fascination with flying, and this has served as an impetuous for design of all types of devices that will fulfil their dreams (Abzug, 2002, Pp. 1 – 10). However, human powered aircraft and gliders that depend on the power delivered to them as their pilot jumps off to try to take off and fly have very limited power available to them to sustain flight (Cruz, 1989, Pp.
