Precast Concrete – A Sustainable Building Material

We believe that construction has a huge role to play in protecting our planet. As an industry, we can significantly improve the shape of our environment for future generations.

This is why we have reviewed all aspects of our business to ensure the environmental impact of our operations is kept to a minimum. It is a comprehensive policy that includes:

How materials are sourced - all wood for timber moulds comes from sustainable forests in Russia. We also make sure our suppliers are ISO 14001 compliant.

How products are manufactured - making the most efficient use of materials, labour and energy.

Recycling waste wherever possible - for example, we recover energy from old timber moulds to heat the factory.

Minimising traffic movements - coordinated site deliveries and grouped transport for workers keeps our carbon footprint to a minimum.

Exploring new business methods - for instance, we can offer video conferencing to prevent unnecessary car journeys.
