Most companies entered 2025 with the same mindset they had in 2024. And they’ll get the same results. Do you want to be like most companies? Didn’t think so 🤔 Here’s how to do things differently this year: ❌ Stop ignoring waste management ✅ Start implementing comprehensive recycling programmes – Construction waste is a major environmental issue. Recycling and reusing materials not only reduce landfills but also lower costs. ❌ Stop relying on outdated materials ✅ Start using sustainable, eco-friendly materials – Opt for low-carbon, recycled, or renewable materials to reduce environmental impact. ❌ Stop wasting energy during construction ✅ Start adopting energy-efficient practices – Incorporate energy-efficient equipment and methods, such as solar power or energy-saving lighting, to cut down on energy consumption. ❌ Stop undervaluing green building certifications ✅ Start pursuing certifications like BREEAM or LEED – These certifications show a commitment to sustainability and environmentally friendly construction, increasing your project's market appeal. ❌ Stop ignoring environmental impact assessments ✅ Start conducting thorough impact assessments – Assessing environmental impacts early in the planning process helps make informed decisions and minimise harm to ecosystems. ❌ Stop dismissing innovation ✅ Start exploring sustainable construction technologies – From smart building systems to 3D printing, new technologies can help reduce waste, energy use, and carbon emissions. ❌ Stop constructing without long-term plans ✅ Start focusing on lifecycle management – Think beyond construction. Sustainable practices should extend to the maintenance, operation, and eventual decommissioning of buildings. Let’s make 2025 the year of change. A special shout-out to Glencar for leading the way with their bold switch to low-carbon HVO fuel across all active sites, reducing CO2 emissions by up to 90%. They are setting an incredible example for the industry and inspiring us all to build a greener future. 🌱 Let’s keep pushing the boundaries. Go get ‘em, Glencar 🫡 ♻️ Repost to inspire your network 🧡 Follow Ascent Onsite Group for more sustainability-focused insights as we evolve the construction industry! #SustainableConstruction #ESGGoals Read more here to get inspired: https://lnkd.in/eXc5zsMg

Founder & CEO at PERVAN Ι We help private & public clients design a sustainable highway and drainage infrastructure in CIVIL3D & InfoDrainage Ι Published Author Ι 3X Entrepreneur
If you really want to understand how to design & build a sustainable infrastructure, then I highly recommend the book 𝑺𝒖𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒊𝒏𝒂𝒃𝒍𝒆 𝑰𝒏𝒇𝒓𝒂𝒔𝒕𝒓𝒖𝒄𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒆: 𝑷𝒓𝒊𝒏𝒄𝒊𝒑𝒍𝒆𝒔 𝒊𝒏𝒕𝒐 𝑷𝒓𝒂𝒄𝒕𝒊𝒄𝒆. . . #sustainability #pervan #designcleaner
For the past two years, our sustainable infrastructure reference guide has been a great book by Richard Fenner, Judith Sykes and Charles Ainger called 𝐒𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐈𝐧𝐟𝐫𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞: 𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐬 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐨 𝐏𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐞. . . In order to achieve our vision, "To accelerate the adoption of sustainable engineering design practices through education, high-quality & waste-free design and mutually beneficial partnerships that align with our core values, we must start with decarbonising the material supply chain. . . The authors from the above-mentioned great book share their insight into how to do it. . . When choosing the right sustainable materials, we should be using the following five step process in this sequence order: ⤵️ 1. Use less material through our lean design practices. 2. Source materials locally where possible. 3. Re-use materials where possible. 4. Choose recycled materials where possible. 5. Try to prioritise renewable materials over non-renewable ones. . . Let's choose the right suppliers for sustainable materials and design & build with our long-term sustainable vision in mind. . . #sustainability #renewables #pervan #civilengineering #highwayengineering #decarbonisation #suuplychain #pervan

Award-Winning Freelance Comms Consultant | Strategic, Creative Internal and External Comms That Actually Land | Helping Organisations Cut Through the Boring Noise with Storytelling That Talks to People, Not at Them
Last year, I was 🤩 blown away by RSE’s groundbreaking achievement: the completion of 🏴 Scotland’s first-ever ceramic membrane modular water treatment works at Bonnycraig. The innovation 💡and forward-thinking approach RSE brought to the table were truly game-changing! Fast forward 🏃♀️to last week during my onboarding, and my understanding of this innovation came full 💫 circle. 👷♀️ A visit to our state-of-the-art fabrication facility in Muir of Ord brought the concept to life. Witnessing first-hand how we construct modular treatment units offsite, I saw how this approach not only sets us apart from traditional methods 💧but also embodies our commitment to efficiency and sustainability. The Bonnycraig project was part of a substantial £30 million 💷 upgrade to the Peebles WTW. It involved 🛻 delivering 17 modular Transportable Treatment Units (TTUs) to the site. It consolidated deliveries, reducing the number of trips and associated 🌿 carbon emissions whilst also mitigating the impact on the local Peebles community. Constructing the TTUs in Muir of Ord's controlled environment allowed us to optimise processes, reduce energy consumption and waste, and achieve significantly lower 📉 carbon emissions compared to traditional onsite methods. Additionally, it ensured safety by minimising exposure to harsh ❄️💨☔️ weather and maintaining consistent safety and quality standards. Beyond these advantages, here are ✌️more benefits of offsite modular build solutions that we perhaps don’t always think about: 🌿 Factory settings reduce waste and improve material efficiency through precise processes and better inventory management, leading to effective recycling, and reduced emissions from over-ordering. 🌿 Modular construction minimises site disturbance, preserving carbon sequestration and reducing emissions from soil disruption. Anyway, back to Bonnycraig! The TTUs were successfully 👷🏻delivered, assembled, and installed, featuring four innovative ceramic membrane filters. This sustainable approach to removing microscopic particles is just one example of how we’re advancing the treatment process. And with 288 solar 🌞 panels installed, Bonnycraig is now energy self-sufficient, further lowering the carbon footprint. What’s not to like❓ If you’re excited about being part of this pioneering low-carbon offsite modular solution or our ceramic membrane innovations, check out our vacancies below. Let’s work together to disrupt the 💧water industry: https://lnkd.in/eXBr5s3W Oh and please reach 👋 out to me or Stephen Slessor (or anyone from RSE for that matter!) if you would like to learn more about how we are providing comprehensive, innovative engineering solutions for water treatment and purification. BTW, I will tell you more about our ceramic membrane filters in another post. Stay tuned!📡 #ModularInnovation #SustainableWaterSolutions #DisruptingTheWaterIndustry

🌍 Is your construction firm committed to sustainability? Traditional asphalt production relies heavily on fossil fuels, contributing significantly to carbon emissions. However, innovative approaches are transforming this landscape. For instance, Skanska's Vällsta Asphalt Plant near Stockholm has been upgraded to utilize up to 100% recycled asphalt, reducing CO₂ emissions by up to 50%. Additionally, the plant employs pine oil pitch, a byproduct of paper manufacturing, as a biofuel, further minimizing environmental impact. Embracing such practices not only promotes environmental responsibility but also positions your company as a leader in sustainable construction.
