Engineering a sustainable future
Sustainability shapes the choices we make every day, from the materials we use to how we plan, deliver and manage our work across live infrastructure environments.







We are committed to cutting carbon, reducing waste and changing how infrastructure is designed, built and sustained.
- Our sustainability focus
How we reduce impact across our work
We take responsibility for the whole life of what we build. That means choosing lower-impact materials, managing resources carefully and designing for durability so assets perform better for longer and environmental impact is reduced at every stage.
We also have exclusive UK access to innovative technologies which demonstrate significant carbon savings and promote sustainable resourcing to reduce negative environmental impacts resulting from our works.
Carbon reduction
Lower-carbon materials, improved planning and efficient delivery methods that reduce emissions across construction, maintenance and the whole-life performance of infrastructure assets.
Responsible sourcing
Working with suppliers to reduce transport distances, support local economies and apply consistent environmental standards across materials, logistics and delivery partners.
Waste management
A zero-waste mindset focused on reuse and recycling, keeping materials in use for longer and reducing reliance on landfill across all sites and operations.
- Measurable Impact
How we track environmental performance
We monitor carbon, waste and logistics data to understand environmental impact and guide improvement across planning, delivery and operations, in line with our PAS 2080 verified carbon management approach.
