⚠️ Challenges:
- Uncontrolled Environmental Impacts: Activities such as construction, heavy transport, and metal works generated noise, dust, emissions, and waste that were not systematically monitored or controlled.
- Inconsistent Waste Management: Each project site followed its own waste handling practices, resulting in poor segregation, disposal delays, and unnecessary material wastage.
