Economy and Environmental Analysis of Various Tower Foundation Types

Abstract

Due to increasing environmental problems, more attention of environmental protections is attracted by infrastructure projects. Electricity as an important infrastructure, the environmental analysis of the projects will be a vital part in future preliminary preparation of power grid constructions. Meantime, the economy of the projects is the cornerstone of the company. Therefore, the balance of the economy and environmental costs is significant for executions of the projects. Thus, the paper is focused on discovering the relationship of economy and environmental analysis of various tower foundation types. The environmental analysis contains environmental damage costs, carbon dioxide emissions from construction materials and machinery during construction. Then, the costs and tons of carbon dioxide emissions are compared in same conditions. The conclusion of the paper is that the overall trend is that economy and total carbon emissions show a large positive correlation, and there is no large correlation between economy and environmental damage costs.
