AB  - This research addresses wastes in construction and erection processes in power plant projects. The main paper objectives are identification and assessment of the wastes, mainly in power plant projects. Accordingly, seven main groups of wastes are introduced and subdivided to 42 common wastes, and based on an opinion survey the most important and common wastes in power plant construction projects are identified and assessed. Moreover, importance of wastes in common and valuable compounded work packages and activities in construction and erection processes are investigated. Finally, some recommendations for reducing critical wastes in valuable work package are presented. The findings of this research could be used in power plant projects or any other construction projects for identification, assessment, and reduction of the wastes in construction processes.
