Construcciones Yamaro, by Armando Iachini

June 5th saw the celebration of the WorldEnvironment Day , created by the General Assembly of the UnitedNations ( UN ), in order to encourage the protection of the ecosystem, raising awareness about the importance of keeping clean, healthy surroundings , in order to ensure an optimal future for future generations. The 5 th of June was chosen to celebrate that first, faithful meeting. In 2018, the awareness campaign slogan was “fight for the wild life”, a protest against the increasing illegal commerce of wild animals, something that affects the planet’s biodiversity, and sends entire species to the border of extinction. Here at Construcciones Yamaro / Yamaro Construction Business , we support the environment by using techniques that reduce man’s impact on the ecosystem , such as the use of wastewater treatment plants to stop water pollution, and the use of recyclables, to maximize resource use.

The building  business is one of the economy sectors that projects the greater numbers of mid-term changes. The use of materials, which production generates strong impact on the environment, is one of the reasons behind the implementation of new technologies , ones that will not only benefit the environment, but also reduce investment costs. Experts claim that, in the next few years, structures will sell better depending on their eco-friendly characteristics – meaning those that consume less energy , and encourage recycling . There are products which, in due time, could substitute conventional materials. Synthetic tiles, made out of recycled plastic and limestone are very durable, estimates suggesting that, once in use, they could last for over 50 years. The best part, however, is that once they have served their purpose, they are 100% recyclable.  When it comes to roof tiling, there are alternatives such as photovoltaic tiles, which generate energy for the s...

Asphalt layers are those placed on roads, streets, sidewalks or inside construction projects to ease movement in those areas . Commonly used materials for this are: Asphalt Flagstone Stone Brick Tile In Venezuela, Yamaro Construction Company specializes in this area. As part of its efforts, it has developed techniques and methods to ensure the safety of its employees, the company’s greatest resource. There are many different types of risks that dedicated construction laborers face regularly , reason why the staff in charge of laying down the asphalt layers do so by adhering to rules created to reduce the possibilities of workplace accidents . The risks directly associated with this work are: Falls: Can occur on different levels or at the edges of terraces, parking lots, etc. Cargo falls : Employees use crane-type equipment to move materials. Cuts made by the tool used to cut asphalt layers. Burns produced by incandescent material. Exposure to extrem...

Construction is one of the areas that are the base of employment in a country . It promotes the development of cities, but it is one of the sectors that pollute the most.  That is why it is necessary to design an enviromental management in which the responsabilities and the economic sustainability are present .   A good management starts by identifying the environmental aspects and evaluation of the sourroundings, aimed at analyzing the effects and modifications that a construction enterprise may cause. In Construcciones Yamaro we are aware of the importance of taking care of the environment, in order to have an environmental shared vision.  Every enterprise is engaged with the caring of the ecosystems, the rational and efficient use of natural ressources as well as implementing a coorporative environmental vision .   The earth movements generate alterations in the geomorphology, derived from the lost of vegetal crust, the soil erosion an...

Yamaro  starts its development in Venezuela as a sub-contractor . The enterprise that signed contracts to make part or the totality of the obligations of the contract of a third party or to finish a general project financed by the services given by the contractor. That is how a sub-contractor in construction and civil engineering projects is related to a vast variety of services . Nowadays, it can operate in the areas of technology of the information and of information businesses. Furthermore, hiring sub-contractors has the advantage of cost reduction and even risks related to the project. Sub-contractors offer special services in certain areas according to the investments of the contractor. Thus, the general contractor receives a series of specialized services that reduce the costs of their projects and the sub-contractor obtains ratability without touching its budget. This is the relationship of the contractor and the sub-contractor and vice-versa. It ...

In all the countries, the construction area is one of the most demanded areas and the one that generates the most revenue . Thus, it is one of the works that requires the most working force.  That is why it is important for enterprises to comply with a series of parameters in order to have their workers at their best performance and the objective of each project is achieved. In Venezuela, the working time must not exceed 8 hours per day. The additional time must be counted with extra revenue and must not exceed 10 hours per month, according to the Organic Work and Workers Law that has vigor since 2013.   The norm establishes other benefits that employees must enjoy; elements considered as inexorable in a boss-worker relationship . Within the 8-hour block, workers must have free time to eat. In construction places, the body energy demand is superior to the management areas. That is why it is necessary to have well-fed workers in order to avoid anemia, faints...

Recently, this tendency of working under the parameter of sustainable architecture , also known as green architecture or eco-architecture has grown significantly .  Its main aim is to generate all the comfort necessary to live and work under a pleasant environment but minimizing the impact of the buildings to the environment. The construction projects that are applied nowadays are oriented at taking advantage the best way as possible of the resources, in order to reduce working costs as well as to diminish the incidence generated due to mankind activities to the environment . The construction world has given importance to buildings that have water-recycling systems, an element that reduces liquid consumption and maximizes its efficient use by preserving this vital natural resource. The most important element to save water in a household is the use of new technologies that recycle water and that use rainwater . It is estimated that a person uses at least...
