Whenever someone requires the assistance of a building contractor, they speak to us. The types of projects our people can handle include street works and civil engineering. It doesn’t matter what it is we’re doing however; we always remain mindful of the impact we’re having on the environment.

Internationally, environment concerns are getting more attention because they are so important. Civil engineering is one of our specialities. It plays a huge part here, making certain that structures meet the right demands. We’re going to talk a little more about this here.

Buildings account for over 40% of the global energy we use. Additionally, they contribute around a third of greenhouse gases. This is the case for developing and developed areas of the world. The majority of these emissions originate from the buildings’ existing energy consumption. Yet, there are also non-CO2 emissions. Halocarbons are a good example.

Long-term solutions

The building and civil engineering sectors are in a position to provide remarkable, long-term cutbacks in greenhouse gas emissions. Experts like us are leading the charge. We’re doing so by using new techniques and technologies in projects. Thanks to these innovative new methods, we can lower the energy buildings consume. We can do so by as much as 80%. The greatest news of all is that countries from all over the world can take advantage of them.

If we’re able to minimise the emissions, we’ll be doing the economy a favour too. The building, maintenance, and renovation of structures is roughly 25% of a country’s GDP. It also employs 10% of the population. By bringing in additional measures to make things greener, there’s more potential for new employment.
