Abstract :

The purpose of this paper was to Environmental risks Assessment of the Construction Project using the EFMEA Method with Emphasis on the risks affecting water pollution. In this study, through field visits to the construction project, the project activities were fully identified and then the environmental risks were identified. In order to estimate the amount of risks, according to experts, checks and tables, the EFMEA method was used. Following the work process, solutions and control measures were presented and the risk number was recalculated. According to the results of this study, the highest number of risks was related to secondary accidents (250) and the lowest number of risks was related to manual freight transport activity (8). After presenting control measures, it was observed that the numerical value of environmental risks, especially risks affecting water pollution has decreased.
